I guess I am not the age demographic that this film is based at but I liked it. My daughter loves it, she even made me by her the DVD.

Scott Pilgrim is a magical realism/fantasy teen comedy with pop art video game visuals. Deep in its heart its just a hip, flashy teen romantic comedy.

Edgar Wright better known as the director of the Cornetto Trilogy adapts this comic book series like it was an edgy fast paced pseudo Japanese video game.

Scott Pilgrim (Michael Cera) plays bass in his garage rock band Sex Bob-omb who meets his dream girl Ramona Flowers (Elizabeth Mary Winstead) who is new in town. However he is soon pursued by Ramona's seven evil exes who all challenge Scott Pilgrim to a duel and Scott needs to keep them in check with his zaps and zingers Streetfighter style.

Cera has the right balance of geeky, slacker dude, Canadian hipster charm as Scott Pilgrim who is very likable even though he quickly ditched High School student Knives for Ramona.

The Evil Exes are a colourful bunch with some star names amongst them. Chris Evans is a skateboarding movie star whose entrance is accompanied with the Universal Pictures theme tune. Jason Schwartzman is a megalomaniac record producer. Brandon Routh is a pretentious vegan rock star with the ability to fly just like Superman.

There is a lot of scene stealing in this film like Kieran Culkin as Scott's sneaky gay roommate, Anna Kendrick as Scott's sister and particularly Ellen Wong as Knives the slightly too young ditched girlfriend who is still loyal to Scott.

I actually found this to be a fast moving, quirky, rocking, enjoyable comedy drama.

Scott Pilgrim (Michael Cera) is a slacker hipster in a garage band who's dating high school girl Knives Chau (Ellen Wong). He is self-absorbed and willing to abandon Knives as soon as he meets Ramona Flowers (Mary Elizabeth Winstead). Before Scott can date Ramona, he must defeat her seven exes.

Scott is a douche. The biggest problem for me is his unlikeability. It runs counter to Cera's usual good guy persona. Everybody is blasé and sarcastic which get some good laughs.

The best thing about this is the 80s video game visual motif. Edgar Wright brings a fresh hip-without-the-irony sensibility. It also uses Toronto not as New York or as anything other than Toronto. It's refreshing and unique in a world where almost everything is a sequel.

A very interesting movie I really enjoyed watching, my best character in the movie was Wallace, while the worst character was the Chinese girl, it was very annoying, the fights were fun, I felt that the movie was directed at me, I recommend watching it

Honestly, I didn't even know what the story was about when I started the movie. At first it felt kind of random, like everything was happening all over the place with no clear reason, but then it started to make me laugh and I got into it. My favorite scene was when Knives came looking for Scott and he jumped straight out the window to avoid her, that moment really cracked me up.

It's a movie that doesn't take itself seriously at all, and I liked that crazy energy and style. The characters were unique and the editing was fast and fun to watch. Overall, it was entertaining and funny, even if it felt weird sometimes.

So I've been a fan of Edgar Wright since his first film Shaun Of The Dead. It's one of the funniest films I've ever seen and it's one of my favorite films of all time. I always love watching this movie.

Hot Fuzz came out in 2007 and for some reason despite how much I loved Shaun Of The Dead I never saw either in theaters. I saw a huge poster for Scott Pilgrim Vs. The World a couple weeks ago after coming out of seeing Inception. I personally like Michael Cera and decided to look at it for a sec. I noticed that Edgar Wright's name was in the "Directed By" spot and that was that. I was seeing this film day one if I could. Well I just got back from a midnight showing. How's that for not missing out?

I saw a trailer for this the first time this afternoon oddly enough (August 12). The trailer looked awesome and I HAD to see it tonight.

Scott Pilgrim Vs. The World is the ultimate boss of all nerd movies. There is no beating this one. Edgar Wright once again brought fantastic comedy writing to his newest film that his first two had. If you didn't like the comedy of those films, you probably won't here either. But then again you're an idiot go watch Epic Movie.

Scott Pilgrim Vs. The World is about the titular character finding a complete hottie named Ramona Flowers played by Mary Elizabeth Winstead. He wants her and goes for it. Unfortunately for him she has 7 evil ex's who are in an Evil Ex's League. Scott has to fight and defeat them all if he wants to win and keep the heart of his lovely Ramona.

This film is insane. The nerdgasms come at you along with the laughs one after another. There's no stopping them. If you have played videos games or have any type of understanding of them in almost any form, then this movie shouldn't be too hard to follow. Characters fight in crazy game like fashion and get points and level up throughout the movie.

Cera is usually known as "that awkward kid" in pretty much everything he's in. That's still here in the beginning however once he finds his purpose as the film goes on that really fades away. The action scenes always show Pilgrim VS someone else in typical fighting game fashion. There's Zelda music played throughout people have hearts and lifebars and seeing as how this film originated from a comic there are a lot of sound effects shown on screen similarly to how they used to do on the old Batman show...but not lame.

This movie is wonderful. Everyone gives a terrific performance and all the villains Pilgrim has to face give over the top awesomeness every second they're in the film. This movie is joy from beginning to end and really entertains front to back.

SUCK ON THAT MICHAEL BAY.

Scott Pilgrim Vs. The World gets **** stars out of four. Exactly what it deserves. You won't learn anything after watching this, but you'll still love yourself for it either way. I will say that after seeing this, while walking back to my car I realized this film is a reminder as to why I want to even direct movies in the first place. GO SEE IT NOW.

The premise is this: Scott is a 22-year-old bass player in a terrible Toronto band. He falls for a "dangerously fashionable, roller blading delivery girl" with punk hair called Ramona Flowers (Mary Elizabeth Winstead), an American transplant who "starts cruising through his dreams and sailing by him at parties." He's smitten. His cheery band-groupie high school girlfriend ("and she's Chinese") Knives Chau (Ellen Wong) becomes irrelevant. The cool Ramona likes Scott too. But it turns out he must fight off Ramona's seven "evil exes." This iron-clad, if inexplicable, rule is going to shape all the reels to come.

The dialogue is witty and smart, especially at first. A lot of cartoonish, video game captions in the air ("Pow," "thunk," etc.) and other devices like scores and labels for new characters increase the feeling that this is a lively and quick-witted movie for and about the video game, texting, Facebook generation. Scott's intro line with Ramona is a silly factoid about the origins of the name Pac-Man, a bit of gaucherie he later denies. Cera has cool, quick delivery and good timing, which also help. So does the presence of Kieran Culkin (also a child star, from a child star family) as Scott's sarky, more mature gay roommate Wallace.

Kieran Culkin is aging convincingly. But Cera, what of him? The androgynous, squeaky-voiced Canadian has been acting since he was eleven: he's a pro. Paradoxically, he projects his insecure young men roles with utter ease and confidence: there's got to be an element of the passive-aggressive in this whole nerd-superman concept. Though Cera's character is 22, and seems to have had a string of girlfriends, it's logical that Scott's dating a high school girl. Cera seemed fresh and charming in his first big roles. He can project a wistful, romantic quality that came through nicely in 'Nick and Norah's Infinite Playlist.' Now he seems to be playing roles tailored exclusively for him, like 'Youth in Revolt,

based on a not-very-profound series of young adult novels (contrast the tougher, more honest writing of S.E. Hinton that produced a quartet of classic Eighties youth pictures). Youth in Revolt wound up rather limp as a movie -- and began to show Cera's lack of range, which is not disguised by the massive use of loud fast CGI for his duels with ex-boyfriends of his girlfriend here.

Actually in 'Scott Pilgrim' Ramona is the character who seems most real. Winstead's speech sounds more sincere and less arch than anybody else's. Her character perhaps is so cool she need not put spin on her words.

"They make movies in Toronto?" So goes one of many cute throwaway lines in a movie that before it's burned up its cred brings many smiles, and plenty of full-on laughs too.

But then 'Scott Pilgrim vs. the World's' fortunes go south. Strangely, this little indie comedy turns into a noisy CGI-ridden feast of pointless violence that makes you want to hold your ears and look at your watch. Why does this happen? One reason is that Edgar Wright, the director, hitherto renowned for the already classic zombie comedy 'Shaun of the Dead' and the charming, energetic cop comedy 'Hot Fuzz,' is English. Both films are deeply rooted in Englishness. If Toronto has a native spirit, Wright isn't tuned in to it. 'Scott Pilgrim' tries to be about so many things and the fault is in the writing. Why should Scott have to battle all these exes to begin with?

Scott's forced battles become repetitious. The theme of repetition itself is forced on us. Not only is one of the exes actually twins. Scott himself is doubled at one point, and a movie star ex (occasion for that Toronto joke) turns out to have half a dozen stunt doubles who fight for him while he goes out for coffee. The climactic scene where Scott confronts rock impresario ex Brendan, played by Jason Schwartzman, another actor not aging well, seems heavy-handed. It's run twice, once with Scott's fighting strength empowered by love, the second by his need for self-respect. It's frankly hard to see much difference between these two versions. You may just wanted it to end. But it has to end twice, and the closing credits are very drab.

The fight sequences have flashy moments and it's droll to have an androgynous nerd battling Superman (Brandon Routh) and, as the movie star, a champion skateboarder (Lucas Lee). Music for Scott's band, Sex-Bob-Omb, was written by Beck. A lot is going on, and many of the invasive visual tricks work because they speed up the action (all very youth-ADD-text messaging friendly). Nothing here is for slow people. If anything the trouble is not that Wright is a slouch, for he is anything but. It's that he tries too hard. That was true to some extent in 'Hot Fuzz.' And most of the characters introduced at the beginning who contributed to the feeling of being in a real place are thrown away, ceasing to matter, except for brief visual recognition, toward the end.

At moments the wintry exteriors of Scott Pilgrim's Toronto and his too-cool, geeky, slightly depressed young friends will bring to mind Terry Zwigoff's 2001 'Ghost World,' also made from a graphic novel, also populated by slackers. Probably 'Scott Pilgrim' could have got by with a measure of its Pow! and Thunk! labels and cyber-world air battles, and still created something of the atmosphere and feel of real young lives as 'Ghost World' quite hauntingly does. But that didn't happen, and all I got was a metaphorical lousy T shirt saying I've seen another Michael Cera movie.

Scott Pilgrim vs. the World is a very fun film. From the very start to end the show is entertaining and holds to own. Yes theirs a bit of originality here. Turning in to our next decade it was looking bad for originality, but with the release of this film and of course Inception its looking good for 2010 so far.

A good time, this film is smart, funny and very enjoyable to watch. Sort of a comic book, action musical and romance flick. Very cool and for all sorts. Not a perfect picture but still it holds up like I said. Who knows, maybe you the reader will like it more or just the same?

My over all score 7.5/10 or *** out **** stars. Go see it and enjoy.

Scott Pilgrim is one of the most fun movies I've seen all year. Sure, it's marketed towards nerds, gamers, and comic book geeks, but that doesn't mean it's not accessible to the average movie goer, or at least the average male movie goer ages 16-26. It's cute, energizing, and entertaining with good music, hot chicks, and some hardcore, sword fighting, skateboard slinging, karate chop chopping battle scenes that look like they were ripped out a Street Fighter vs. Speed Racer online battle. Enough with the nerd lingo though, let's get to the plot.

Scott Pilgrim got his heart broken. His rebound is a 17 year old Asian Catholic high school girl. It doesn't get anymore cliché than that. She's cute, but annoying, and when he meets the new girl, with enough pink hair and indie outerwear to make an emo boy drool, he undoubtedly falls in love. The problem? For some reason, the new girl has seven evil exes, all bound to make an appearance on the battle field when Scott least expects it. What follows is hot, hilarious, and, at times, outrageous with scenes that give any recent action flick a run for it's money when it comes to entertainment.

Regardless of the high energy adrenaline that runs through Scott Pilgrim, you've got to wonder, is it funny? I can say wholeheartedly that I laughed, at times, out loud. It's little nuances that Michael Cera has down to a T, that truly make the movie. I can't necessarily say why he's so funny in this film (and I didn't particularly like him in Juno), but he is. Rather than model the character after the comic book, it seems like the character was almost carved out of Cera himself. What results is very frequently funny.

So what are the negatives? For one, the film is a little bit long. Not only are there seven battle scenes, but some of them are drawn out way too long (especially the final scene). There is such a thing as too much of a good thing, and in Scott Pilgrim, we see it. Also, there isn't always enough differentiation between battles. By the end of the movie, things feel a bit stale and fall a bit flat as opposed to the opening scenes that set the stage. Lastly, as much as I praise Cera for his spot on performance in the film, I also have to give him a slightly negative critique when looking at his character because he is such a loser, yet he manages to score some really sexy chicks. I know it's a movie and anything is possible, but seriously, Scott Pilgrim wouldn't be in the running for any of these girls regardless of what band he's in.

All in all, Scott Pilgrim offers some good, fun, mindless entertainment. It's smart, funny, cute, and cuddly, and I'd especially recommend it for teenagers and males ages 16-26. Would I recommend it to my parents? No. The indie guy down the hall that watches foreign films? No. The film student who prefers documentaries? No. Anyone looking for a fun tribute to video games, heartache, and progressive rock music? Spot on…spot on.

"Scott pilgrim vs The World"...or more suitably "Scott Pilgrim vs The 7 super-powered evil Ex's" (doesn't quite have the same ring to it) is a hyper-active action comedy extravaganza perfect for today's A.D.D. generation of short attention spans! The fast-paced action-packed visual style of the film and it's humorous, witty and catchy one-liner dialogue will keep anyone with a Goldfish's attention span up-right in their seats, drool leaking from their mouths and eyes firmly planted on the screen for the full duration of the film!

Geeks, nerds or just anyone with too much time on their hands and lack of social-life will delight in the many video game and pop-culture references spliced throughout the film. The films slick editing and cartoon/comic book visual style is superbly executed and despite the film being outlandishly random, it all seems to make perfect sense in the fictional world it is weaved in.

Michael Cera plays a slight variant on his "Arrested Development" persona as the title character, Scott Pilgrim - a nerdy, awkward bass player and video game enthusiast who's had his fair share of bad luck with the ladies. Yet the real star of the film has to be Kieran Culkin as 'Wallace Wells', Scott's gay room-mate. He is hilarious and gets all the films best lines. I couldn't help think throughout the film just how much he resembles Mike Patton! If they ever do a film on 'FNM' - they should most definitely cast Kieran as Patton!!! The music is also pretty good and all the tracks performed by Scott's band; "Sex Bob-Omb" were suitably composed and arranged by the genre bending artist 'Beck'.

Though it may not be everyone's cup of tea (herbal/green/sleep, etc) - the film never ceases to entertain and it's humour, stylised visuals and fight scenes pack more punch than most films out this year (excluding 'Expendables' which I have not yet seen). There are also some amusing cameos thrown in as a bonus in an amusing scene involving 'Vegans'!

Good fun. Plot is quite basic but direction and special effects are very original and entertaining. Snappy, funny dialogue - screamingly funny at times.

Does run out of steam and idea though, and should have ended about 20 minutes earlier.

Good performances all round. Michael Cera does his usual nerdy low-self- confidence routine, and does it well. Mary Elizabeth Winstead is spot-on and gorgeous as the love interest. Supporting cast are well chosen - Anna Kendrick, Kieran Culkin, Jason Schwartzman, Alison Pill, Mark Webber, Ellen Wong.

What to say, what to say? I had heard good things about this film for a while, an recently those good things reached a crescendo, with two of my most trusted movie advisers both recommending it. And, I am sad to say, as good as it was, it just did not meet the hype. Primarily because it was too long.

You have the dorkiest man in Hollywood, Michael Cera, and another arch-dork, Jason Schwartzman. And you have a female lead who I consider one of the top five hottest women in the world, Mary Elizabeth Winstead. So that is a great cast, not including all the bonus guest stars. (Sadly, I should be clear, Winstead did not look attractive at all in this film, being shown up by Ellen Wong.)

Another reviewer says the film is "quite possibly the most original and fresh movie of the decade." That is a bit extreme, but not without merit. I would be hard-pressed to find another movie similar to it. There are some "Kill Bill" moments, but the first is clearly more inspired by Beck, Nintendo (with some obscure references, such as Clash at Demonhead) and the original graphic novel.

The same reviewer says the film is "not a perfect movie and hardly could be called a masterpiece." I think this is true on a film levels. While the film clearly has great visuals and a sense of humor I appreciate, it spends too little time on character development and runs on the long side by having 7 evil exes. 5 would have been enough, and kept the pace more smooth. The fight scenes started to get repetitive.

The reviewer claims this is "the ultimate love story: a guy fights an army for his loved one." And that is a valid point, except I disagree. Scott Pilgrim hardly ever gets to know Ramona Flowers (again, little character development) beyond the fact she had seven exes... she is not worth that much trouble. And then you have his other love, whose only flaw is that she is in high school. They seem a better match.

I would love to respond to Roger Ebert's review, but he did not write one. (Apparently, he was writing his memoirs at the time.)

Some have tried to find a deeper meaning in the film, some criticism of pop culture. I do not know about that. Anyway: great film, full of nostalgia, and a really good concept. But runs on the long side, and if the fight scenes had been shortened to expand the characters a bit, it would have been an even better movie... as it is, a guilty pleasure but probably not a long-lasting film.

T's a visually stunning and has sarcastic dialogue which is a creative comic adoption of the same name. It's perfection in execution is astounding and awesome. Story telling is very unique.It's funny in a different way and it's a great performance by the stunning cast.Michael Cera in this movie is awesome.

Overall - 3.5/5

The sheer exuberance of Scott Pilgrim Vs the World takes about twenty minutes to get used to, but afterward, it's fun....not quite great, but fun (no question)

This is a motion picture that relies almost entirely on the integrity of the post-production departments (Editing, sound, special FX). With all the fast cuts, split-screens, animated sound waves/valentines/lighting fight captions in a dozen fonts, and more Scott Pilgrim vs. the World is a feast for the eyes and ears. It expresses a love for Music, Video Games and comic books alike. It is a spectacle that almost overwhelms story, which one could argue is the films Achilles heel. The plot line is a bit too satirical for it's own good. Most of it is played for laughs but when it does try to be serious, it feels like a derivative, half-fleshed teen romance (guy gets girl, looses girl, gets her back)

Being Toronto-born and bred, I had the pleasure of witnessing the crew shoot on four separate occasions. Not many movies are set in Toronto, but Scott Pilgrim is proud to do so, and is even written into the script. I wont argue that the movie sells the city in its full beauty, but it is funny to see a hundred million dollar motion picture working out of the library when you went as a kid.

times change fast, but maybe not as fast as the rhythm of Scott Pilgrim vs. the World. I'm not sure how the comic book lovers feel about the movie. I liked for what it is. Can't say I loved it but it is fresh and riveting.

In life it is all about the journey. "Scott Pilgrim vs. the World" is about the journey, and then some. Director and Writer Edgar Wright creates a visually exciting approximation of life in this slacker gamer world where Michael Cera is avatar Scott Pilgrim. The screenplay by Wright and Michael Bacall is based on the graphic novel by Bryan Lee O'Malley. Being neither familiar with the source material, nor the twenty-something gamer demographic "Scott Pilgrim vs. the World" occurs as a familiar Disneyland ride jacked on ecstasy and steroids. Wright creates TV homage from the campy 1960's "Batman" with "Pow!" to the more contemporary "Seinfeld". Wright generates one of the most visually inventive movies—though not along the lines of Chris Nolan's "Inception". However, here style over substance is not necessarily a good thing.

"Scott Pilgrim" is a video game fable with our hero Scott played by Michael Cera at his dweebish best. Scott is the 22 year-old slacker bass player for his band Sex Bo-bomb. He lives with his charming gay roommate Wallace (funny Kieran Culkin). He is rebounding from a break up with his rock siren girlfriend Envy Adams (devilish diva Brie Larson). He is dating 17 year-old high school girl Knives Chau (bubbly Ellen Wong). In the midst of a band competition for a record contract, Scott sees the girl of his dreams in his dreams—Ramona Flowers (fiery and beautiful Mary Elizabeth Winstead). Later Scott sees Ramona at a party, and realizes that she is the One. However, before Scott can date or make out with Ramona he must defeat, as in to the death, her 7 Evil Ex's. Note there is a reason why it is not the 7 Evil Ex-Boyfriends. Do the math. Needless to say, both high jinx and chaos ensue.

Michael Cera is still playing the same freaking character—as he does in all his movies. However, here the good hearted nerd gets to kick ass in martial arts style. The saving grace is Mary Elizabeth Winstead as Ramona. Winstead has a self aware charm, and stunning screen presence. She is going to be a star. Chris Evans as egomaniac action star/ skateboarder Lucas Lee, also an Evil Ex, is hysterical. Jason Schwartzman is funny in small doses, but is light years beyond annoying as record producer Gideon Gordon Graves—also a Ramona Ex.

"Scott Pilgrim" is an eclectic narrative kluge. The fact that 22 year-old Scott is dating 17 year-old minor Knives, even if they aren't having sex, is very creepy. What is creepier, the screenwriters proceed as business as usual here. Perhaps, statutory rape laws are different in Toronto? The kung fu fight choreography is flashy and comical—the intended effect. Being a martial arts snob, I enjoyed the fight choreography of "The Expendables" way more.

"Scott Pilgrim" runs about 20 minutes too long, with about 3 too many Ex's, but fortunately ends right. Beneath all the pop culture glitz and indulgent idiosyncrasy "Scott Pilgrim vs. the World" is romantic comedy after all. Romantic comedy is hard to do. I think "Scott Pilgrim vs. the World" often loses track of this thread along the journey.

Few films have filled me with equal amounts of anticipation and dread as Scott Pilgrim vs. The World. The anticipation came from the marriage of an intriguing premise and a director that had shown immense promise through having a hand in some of the best comedy of the past 10 years. On the other hand, the over-the-top style and hipper-than-thou vibes looked to be a double-edged sword that could bring the whole thing crashing down in bright computer-generated flames.

Let's get the plot out of the way - for those who haven't heard anything at all about this, the titular character is an unemployed musician living in Toronto who ends up meeting the girl of his dreams one night. As he gets involved with her, he discovers that she has a hell of a past - she's left behind "seven evil exes". For no adequately explained (or particularly necessary) reason, they each come after Scott and engage him in ludicrously over-the-top battles. In between fights, Scott still has to deal with the various ups and downs of his relationship and how it affects the rest of his life.

Right, let's move on the film proper - well, those feelings I mentioned in the first paragraph? By and large justified in both respects. On the good side, stylistically the film is sublime. Despite having never read the source comics, I still enjoyed the film's heavy-handed usage of comic-book conventions such as visible sound effects, split-screen panels...the works. That's going without mentioning the copious references to videogames, whether it's the subtle use of sounds from other games or the blatant references to such things as getting lives or winning points. The visual effects are also top-notch, going above and beyond expectations with colourful clashes and blistering battles. If nothing else, Scott Pilgrim looks a million dollars.

Now comes the bit where I follow up a paragraph full of earnest praise with a little bit of honest criticism...while the film is great visually, I'm not really a fan of everything else about the film. Michael Cera does his usual "awkward goofiness" schtick, while most of the other cast deliver undemanding deadpan performances. On the other hand, the hamminess of the exes comes close to making up for it it.While I don't deny that these different styles genuinely fit in the right sequences, sometimes it gels and sometimes it doesn't. The same goes for some of the references that the film tries to jam in, especially one scene that parodies a certain popular sitcom that really isn't quite as funny as it should be. I could probably rattle off a list of the stuff that falls flat, but I'd probably have to list the stuff that didn't as well, so the non-action sequences are something of a mixed bag for myself.

If you're familiar with any of Wright's other work, this will definitely amuse you to one degree or another. If you're not, well, I daresay all the promotional materials give you the right idea - it's a fairly lightweight romantic comedy plot wrapped in a few layers of unbelievable fantasy and cooked to a crisp. Ultimately it suffers from one very extreme case of style over substance, but what a style it is. Definitely worth seeing in theatres, if nowhere else.

We live in weird times.

Many of us have grown up with fantasy worlds at our finger tips and with media influences from around the world.

Social and technological progression has leaped light years in the past few decades and concrete social roles have shifted.

We still have to grow up and live lives amongst it all and SPVTW captures this atypical-coming of age in a fun and clever thrill ride.

Tropes are turned upside down. Life experiences are given life with visuals pulled from comics and anime. Not taking yourself to seriously is done right.

It's light, it's fun, it's airy. Yet it still has punch. You can still relate and root for the hero.

If you watched cartoons/anime, played video games or were part of bold subcultures the aesthetics, action scenes and storylines are a dream come true.

The acting and characters lean toward caricature but never reach that point because they have meaning and are well acted, placed and executed.

Sometimes it can lean on stereotypes a bit too much but here it's almost endearing. It isn't demeaning or alienating, it's capturing worlds merging from a single perspective.

While lacking in depth of plot, this is such a unique and entertaining film. It has eye-popping visuals along with a live action anime feel that is unlike anything I've seen in a movie before. Worth watching for the humour and stylistic vision that is out of this world.

If you are going into this one expecting to have a clear story with good characters, you will only get one of those thing. All the characters in this movie are great and all have there own thing, and amazingly there are so many characters i would think i hate or find cringe but this movie never makes that happen which is very impressive. The story is very zany and wacky and that's what makes it fun, I would suggest not thinking about it too hard. The comedy is amazing, almost ever scene is very funny and never gets dull though i can see many not liking this.

Over all, it is a good watch. Not a must see in my opinion but defiantly worth a watch! 7/10.

Scott Pilgrim vs. the World is a thoroughly enjoyable movie that left me entertained and satisfied. There were so many things that I liked about this movie. Firstly, I thought that the transitions were fantastic and creative. Next, I really liked the 'comicbook aesthetic' of the movie. I thought it blended in very well with the movie and it was done in a way that was appropriate and not 'over the top'.

However, I felt that some of the character developments were underdeveloped and could have been developed even further. The movie failed to develop the characters in a way that made them compelling. I was also somewhat disappointed by the ending. I felt that it was rushed.

Overall, I thought it was a creative and enjoyable movie that I would definitely rewatch in the future.

Not much of storyline or thought provoking movie, but it is hilarious to watch teenagers doing silly things. Video gamification of the movie is also kind of novel.

The interestingly-titled 'Scott Pilgrim vs the World' is based on a comic book about a young man who has to fight his new girlfriend's seven evil ex boyfriends. No, seriously. And, if the first question you're asking is "Why?" then you're probably like me. First of all this is a movie (probably!) more for teenagers and youngsters (not bitter and cynical forty-somethings such as myself), therefore I'm guessing that most people will just go with it, rather than questioning every single plot point like I found myself doing. I did enjoy the film - sort of. Once you allow yourself to get past just how ludicrous the plot is, you'll find that it is in fact quite funny. The titular Scott Pllgrim, played by the totally typecast Michael Cera, falls in love with a new girl in his town, only to discover that, in order to win her heart, he has to beat and pummel all her 'evil' exes one after another. And it's quite fun to watch, possibly because it knows how daft it is and therefore plays on it, deciding to shoot the film almost like a computer game from yesteryear. Expect 'life gauges' to appear on screen every time Scott picks a fight with someone new. Plus plenty of visual comic-like clues as to the fact that it wants you to know that it's based on a comic book, such as written text on the screen to emphasise sounds and feelings. I'd probably forget the film quite quickly if it wasn't for the fact that it's co-written and directed by Edgar Wright, best known for working with Simon Pegg on various film collaborations. I think it's fair to say that Wright has a visual style that really works with this type of film. Every scene he emphasises silly little things in order to draw your attention to little details that most films overlook. I found myself enjoying how the film looked even more than the actual film itself. Sorry for the generalisation, but I do think that younger cinema audiences will enjoy the story aspect, however it was funny enough to keep me entertained and had a visual flair that is often missing from mainstream Hollywood. Just a pity Edgar Wright never got to do his vision of Marvel's 'Antman!' If nothing else, it's worth watching Captain 'Chris Evans' America take the beating that even Iron Man himself couldn't manage!

All i knew about this film prior to watching it is that he has Michael Cera doing the main role. It may mean nothing to some, but those who had seen movies starring Cera before might get a clue or two. And i don't mean it strictly in a good way.

Actually, since i first saw Michael in Superbad, he had one stable trait about his characters... they are all the same. Literally. He's always this kinda shy and awkward, nerdy but at the same time sorta streetwise type of guy of undefinable age, the one you wouldn't hate straight away but who you still wouldn't envy even if he got the hottest babe in the show. And if we add his constant grimace of a puppy who just sh@t himself a moment ago and is all sorry about that, i would expect his puppy charms to wear off rather quickly and the frustration to take over.

But at the same time, no matter how single-dimensional Michael's characters are, this "i'm shy and gentle" trick almost never fails to work. It definitely worked in Superbad, where Michael Cera and Jonah Hill duet played some Kyle&Eric sort of magic which, with help of other characters like legendary McLovin, made the film equally fun, deep and touching. In Juno, it was Ellen Page's turn to fill Cartman's place, which she did brilliantly, which also added to the film's overall success.

Here, in Scott Pilgrim vs the World, there's no single teammate whom Michael Cera's character of a guy with a complicated approach to relationships could play along. Instead, there's a whole bunch of friends, foes and love interests who swirl around him in a sick (in a good way) mix of garage rock, 8-bit games and comic book extravaganza. Which means, this time Michael has to prove that he can be a single locomotive for the big show.

The first 15 minutes of the film weren't too reassuring on this account. They are without a doubt visually creative, and this is probably the first time after Sin City that style does not only overcome substance but becomes a source of it. Yet, the character of Scott Pilgrim itself is what looks like a main drawback. I mean, our guy is still cute and naive, but there's something missing, some driving force that could turn that series of awkward and silly moments into something substantial.

And then the miracle happens. Once we finally get to know Mary Elizabeth Winstead's character of a femme who's literally fatale, the story gets a major kick up the butt, and apparently Scott's personality too, because he starts demonstrating will, determination and skills we never got to expect from Michael Cera's fragile and semi-vegetative characters. Can't say this transformation looks very natural, but naturality is the last thing one should expect from a movie that looks more a comic book than a typical cinema.

Maybe this visual surrealism is the main defining point of Scott Pilgrim vs the World. Because what might otherwise be somewhat bland and boring transforms into a unique sort of fun, something i never had a chance to experience since Kick-Ass and The Green Hornet, which was years ago for me. The action scenes are equally intense and bizarre, which makes them all the more unpredictable and satisfying.

Yet there's more to this film than just the action, visuals and the raw energetics of the whole performance. There's this trademark Canadian approach to life that this movie teems with: from the little comedic episodes, sketches and phrases to the characters to the whole entourage. Not as self-absorbed as the typical American everything, more willing to have a joke on itself, maybe even insecure in some ways, but still with enough soul to incur rather sympathy than abasement. As if the film plays its strengths and weaknesses open but relies on your good will to expect forgiveness rather than judgement.

This is the main message this movie sends us by its ending. That whoever we are and whatever we've done, the most important thing is to be able to accept ourselves and those who surround you. Not that big of a philosophical breakthrough, but still satisfying enough to leave a generally pleasant aftertaste. The same could be said about the movie as a whole. Very solid, with both the unique sides and the touching moments. Maybe not breaking enough rules nor touching enough sore spots to really stand out as a film to be remembered across generations. But aiming for that would be too pompous and pretentious, which isn't how they do things in Canada. After all, there's nothing wrong with just good ol' entertainment.

Scott Pilgrim vs. The World, based off the excellent graphic novel series is a spot-on roller-coaster of flash AND substance for fans of video games, the Scott Pilgrim comics or strip culture as a whole alike. The story of Scott Pilgrim's struggle for glory fighting his new girlfriend's seven evil ex-boyfriends to continue dating her doesn't have much going for it per se, but Scott's charming character, growing increasingly confident throughout the movie saves the movie story wise, as you really care for him. What's left is flashy, comic-book/video-game style action: if 1-up's and grotesque "POW" sound effects and a sick garage rock OST sound like your cup of tea, the whole movie will probably be worth its while for you, if not, don't even bother.

I feel like I generally stay away from comedy movies, but Scott Pilgrim vs. The World is so delightful. The comedy is quick, sharp, and very enjoyable. The editing style with its quick cuts, video game overlays, and character-focused moments is awesome to watch and made me very engaged with the movie.

The actors all did wonderful jobs with their characters. I think it is always impressive when a film feels so cohesive, and this movie does that. The plot is wild and the world thats been created in the universe isn't the same as reality, which really works for the life of Scott Pilgrim. The movie's short scenes also helps build the life of Scott Pilgrim. I feel like as a viewer you can almost start to understand him.

Very funny movie overall!! Enjoyable watch.

So I watched Scott Pilgrim vs. the World from 2010. This falls under the indy movie category for me, so was it good I say yes. I am getting older (not old yet) and though I have a wii, I am not video game dude nor am I a comic book junkie. However, this movie had great acting, an interesting premise, was well done and extremely creative, and very enjoyable from start to finish. My one complaint is sometimes it was a little too much. What that means exactly is it moved like a video game, fast and with constant activity and no time to breath. But then again that may be the point, but then again this is a movie, not a video game. This is a movie for hipsters,video game freaks, and comic book guys (and gals). The fight sequences are very refreshing and there is both great humor and several good love stories. This movie seems very youth oriented, but as I said I am not as young as I once was and am no longer this movies key demographic, and I had a blast watching it.
