Scott Pilgrim vs. the World User Reviews

 In the past few years the Hollywood interest in comic book films has continued to crescendo with huge critical and financial successes such as the Spiderman, Iron Man, and Batman franchises. Aside from being overly saturated by testosterone, such hits have lined summers with blockbuster after blockbuster by sticking to ...

Flawless Victory. As an eternal fan of Edgar Wright movies (Hot Fuzz, Shaun of the Dead) and an all-around video game nerd, a large part of me feels like Scott Pilgrim vs The World was made just for me. So of course I'm biased, but it's not just a pandering ...

Over the course of Scott Pilgrim vs. The World's close to two-hour running time, you'll find two things true:  this is a cavalcade of sensory overload in visuals and audio, and it's a love/hate movie.  Fans of the comics probably won't like how some of the characters are treated, while those unfamiliar ...

In hopes of complete honesty, let me just say that I watched the film at a midnight screening at the Alamo Drafthouse South Lamar in Austin, Texas. As things go when you are awesome, as I am, Edgar Wright popped by for our matinee and ran up and down the ...

I'll openly admit, I wasn't the fondest person of "Scott Pilgrim Vs. The World" when I first saw the original trailer for it a few months back.  I mean, for one thing, it's another Michael Cera movie, and I for one am kinda sick of the dude.  I'll go ahead ...

 Do you fit the target audience for this film?   As a Coming of Age Story: Scott Pilgrim needs to grow up.   He doesn’t have a job, he lives off the good will of his friends.   Viewers may find him to be whiney and unsympathetic.   However, this character ...

Scott Pilgrim vs. the World is clearly a movie that knows it's audience.  This is meant for fans of video-games, comics, graphic novels, anime , music, and any sort of geek culture you can imagine, thus the humor in the movie can fly over much of the audiences head.  Fortunately, ...

  It’s hard to put into words my opinion of ‘Scott Pilgrim vs. the world’. It is easily one of the most visually creative films I’ve seen. The visual style is an incorporation of multiple film genres, video game graphics, comic book artwork and a frenzy of pop culture references. ...

If someone told me that Michael Cera, that kid from Arrested Development, would be a superhero one day I would ask "When did he begin taking steroids?". Cera is barely Mario when it comes to being a hero, but he does share something in common with that moustached stereotype - he's me. ...

 This review was originally posted on my personal blog.  Check dat shit out HERE.    Scott Pilgrim vs. The World is a movie based on a comic book based on the aimless life of its 23 year-old protagonist based on classic video game sensibilities. That summation right there includes both "comic book" ...

By the time I saw this movie my Scott Pilgrim fandom had waned slightly, not because of anything in particular, but just because the novelty had worn off a bit. Still, it's a very entertaining property, and Edgar Wright managed to strike a perfect balance between faithfully bringing Bryan Lee ...

I will still argue that the movie should of been called Scott Pilgrim's "Precious Life", since that is the name of the first book and it really is the whole importance of the book series and movie of the "Precious Life" of Scott Pilgrim.  [Little fact that the working title ...

 I just got back from watching Scott Pilgrim. Frankly, it's hard to care for any of the characters or connect with them as actual people. And, everyone who hates the character Michael Cera plays will hate it just as much in this movie as in every movie he's ever done ...

Scott Pilgrim vs. the World is based on a series of six graphic novels and follows the story of Scott (played by Michael Cera) a kind of douchebag character that meets the girl of his dreams, Ramona Flowers who he falls in love with, but finds that to gain her ...

 If you are a fan of the book, a fan of video games, or heck, even just someone of the right age range who grew up in the right generation or atmosphere or are just young at heart, you are going to love this movie. It really captures video game ...

"We're Sex Bom-omb and we're here to make you think about death and get sad and stuff." It's hard for me not to love Scott Pilgrim vs. The World. On one hand, I know that it's not the greatest movie ever, and that this film could probably use some more ...

It’s hard to go into a movie like Scott Pilgrim without being a touch cynical. It flopped. I suppose it’s not unjust to say the best film of a year can be one of the least seen, just look at 2000’s Wonder Boys for proof of that, but when the ...

  There’s no denying that Wright is the master of mixing genre’s together and somehow making them work.   Shaun of the Dead managed to make a romantic comedy work within a zombie setting, and Hot Fuzz was like one big mash up of both buddy cop and horror film ...

  This movie was made for me and aimed for but a lot of movies have been amied for me and failed this movie hits all target but the thing is i love this movie but the thing about the movie is how it looks and we have never got ...

I finally finished the last half of the DVD, so lets-a go!That was a Mario reference, because this movie references a lot of video games.O.K. here’s the review.So, for the most part I enjoyed this film, but only because it was so late at night, that I began heckling every ...

Well, let's get the nitty gritty out of the way first.  This is the craziest, loudest, most imaginative fucking movie you are maybe ever going to see.   SO YEAH   Scott Pilgrim Vs. The World tells the story of the eponymous Scott Pilgrim (played by Michael Cera, who breaks ...

While I generally do not go into films expecting to hate them, I was fully prepared to hate Scott Pilgrim. For one, it stars Michael Cera whom I feel has the acting ability of a four year old as a Christmas tree in a pre-school play. For another, I do ...

 Scott Pilgrim is probably one of the most divisive films of the year. Its heady mix of videogame boss rush and romantic comedy certainly won't be for everybody; nor will its incessant word-play and audio / visual puns. It's also probably the most comic book-y of any comic book adaptation ...

 Scott Pilgrim vs. The World stars Michael Cera as the titular character who falls in love with a girl named Ramona Flowers. Unfortunately, he also has to fight her "7 Evil Ex's." This premise sounds very appealing and is well executed here. The fight scenes are well choreographed and very ...

 Scott Pilgrim VS The World has a lot of very creative things going for it.  It’s just that it’s not always entertaining.  This movie follows Scott Pilgrim ( Michael Cera) as he literally fights for the love of a girl he just met and broke up with his previous girlfriend ...

The marketing behind Scott Pilgrim vs. the World speaks very plainly for just what the movie is. There’s no hidden message or intensely dramatized scenes that the handful of trailers conveniently left out of the fold; what you’ve seen on television, or on the internet, or in front of some ...

       When you’ve grown up with video games, it’s sometimes easy to forget how weird many of the basic concepts of gaming are. Super Mario is a series about an overweight plumber jumping on the heads of giant mushrooms and turning them into coins. Pac-man has you guiding a ...

Question: how hard must a movie rock to escape from the pull of the Earth’s gravity, to jettison itself from our planet and our universe, and then to carve out its own world with the power of an electric bassline and pop-culture references to define a generation? Answer: about as ...

I quite enjoyed Scott Pilgrim, thought it uh, did a rather good job adapting all six volumes of the comic book into a two hour theatrical experience. That's a lot to cover, but they got the real gist of it. Well, except for... the thing with Knives Chau. And now, ...

Scott Pilgrim vs. the World is a very unique film, despite it's lack of originality.  This may sound like a contradiction, but so do many of my thoughts on the movie.  I both enjoyed it and hated it. Hey, remember the NES?  No, really?  Remember it?  What about Seinfeld?  Remember that? ...
