I really enjoyed Scott Pilgrim vs.The World, and consider it one of my favourites of the year if not the best. The film is shot in a unique way and looks wonderful and the music is cool with lots of energy. Edgar Wright does a superb job directing the film, the film is filled with humour and good humour at that, it goes at a cracking pace and is compelling throughout and the characters are appealing. The acting is great, Michael Cera gives one of his better performances(only his performance on the brilliant sit-com Arrested Development is better in my opinion) and he is well supported by some very talented co-stars.

Overall, a great movie and one of my personal favourites of its year so far. 9/10 Bethany Cox

I give Scott Pilgrim a seven rating for its technical virtuosity and for the appeal of its youthful cast. It's a movie strictly for the MTV generation of which I am most certainly not part.

Having the film be based on a comic book character certainly allows you not to be bound by rules of reality and if this film is one thing, it has no rules. Giving a lengthy explanation of the plot would be a waste of time, but simply young Scott Pilgrim lives in a communal type dwelling where he plays in a rock band and hopes for a musical career. But before he can have that he'd better get out from under the girl friend problems he's having. A young Chinese Catholic school girl played by Ellen Wong is the current one he's dating. But Scott's got exes and the exes have exes and they're all for one reason or another bad at him. Before the film is over he has to deal with issues involving them all.

Michael Cera from Canada plays Scott and the film was shot in Toronto, another example of Canadian product mainstreaming right here into the American market. Cera is quirky and appealing in his own way. I did like Kieran Culkin as Scott's gay roommate and Brandon Routh as the action film star who is an ex of a Scott ex.

I admire the work more than I like it. But I'm first to concede that that's me, an old fashioned fellow regarding music who thinks Bing Crosby was our greatest performer. I think the MTV generation should enjoy Scott Pilgrim vs. The World.

"Scott Pilgrim" is one of the most creative, fresh and original films I have seen in ages, and because of that I was in absolute awe of the film. However, despite being a terrific film, I also understand that this is NOT a film that will appeal to everyone--in fact, it's probably one of the more polarizing films I have ever seen--you'll probably either love it or hate it. While I am NOT in the target demographic group (aged 15-30 and predisposed to loving graphic novels AND video games),I did enjoy it--and am probably the rare 40-something person who loved the film. What was different about me is that I am a geek (a definite plus),enjoy video games and have a rabid comic book fan for a daughter--so I understood many of the pop culture references throughout the film. But, if you are NOT a geek, hate video games and see graphic novels more as comic books, then the movie might be a chore to watch. Plus you might just feel ooky hanging out with geeks. Don't worry, they are almost all very nice people!

So what, other than originality, did I love about this film? Well, just about everything--and I seriously considered giving the film a 10--I liked it that much. Perhaps the best thing for me was casting of Michael Cera in the lead. Unlike the traditional super-hero, he is by far the geekiest and most likable main character I have seen. Seeing such a wimpy and unassuming guy become, out of no where, like a character from Mortal Combat was a wonderful juxtaposition--you just couldn't help but smile. And, despite his nerdy looks, he was winning as Scott Pilgram...and actually played the music his on-screen band played--now that's talent. Additionally, I loved the film's gentle sense of humor---I laughed harder at this film than any film I've seen in the theater in some time. I could try to describe these moments--you just need to see them for yourself. Odd references to games like DOA, Mortal Combat, Marvel Vs. Capcom and Zelda II were great--I caught on to those due to my own geeky background. And, my familiarity with anime/manga also made me laugh--as the hair, love for girls in school uniforms and style were often straight out of Japanese comics. And, I loved how the film made me love video games and was simply much, much more fun that the original "Tron" (which I always felt was too dry--perhaps the new version will correct this).

Clever, wonderful and strange, this film is the geek's dream come true...and not a film to be missed. However, if you aren't a geek or are perhaps too old to get the pop references, I say take along an interpreter--many comic book nerds and couch potatoes would be glad to go with you and help explain things...provided you pay for the tickets.

Among the nearly 9000 reviews I have now done on IMDb, this ranks in the hallowed ranks of a very small group of movies that transcended the pack due to its utter weirdness. It's surreal and weird--and I think this makes it very special. For other films that fall into this category, try "The Happiness of the Katikuris", "Delicatessen", "Yes Nurse, No Nurse", "Tatie Danielle" and "Tampopo"--all truly unique, surreal and fabulous films.
