Scott Pilgrim vs. the World

If someone has watched, read, listened, and recorded plenty of things, and they can also film in such a way that it is perfectly entertaining, then we’ve got nothing to worry about. During the screening, I wanted to chant and cheer loudly, and after it was over, I wanted to go back to the box office and do it all over again. This sort of "style geyser" cannot be absorbed the first time around. This is the second film this year where inventive British filmmaking has made an incredible splash for Hollywood money.

Scott Pilgrim offers up a deluge of ideas, likable eccentricity and “fight” scenes that are easier to follow than those in most typical action movies. If today’s teenagers loved this more than superficial flicks in the vein of Twilight, the world would be a better place. (30/09/2010)

After 5 minutes, I knew that this film would not be my cup of tea, and after 10 minutes, I realized that I was genuinely suffering. Nevertheless, as a typical weakling, I endured for another half hour, only to finally understand that every additional minute was an unequivocal waste of time and that there are plenty of more interesting activities in the world, starting with sex and ending with delicious food, to which I could give preference. Actually, anything deserves preference in this case. I could elaborate on the comic book aesthetics but it is influenced by a series of films that really appealed to me. I could go on about how this is a film aimed at the young generation, but so was Misfits, and I had a great time with that series. The best adjective to describe Scott Pilgrim is adolescent. Adolescently directed and tailored for teenagers. Furthermore, it is based on a stereotype and subsequently becomes boring. It had nothing to offer me, but undeniable professionalism compels me to give it one star. Overall impression: 25%. (28/08/2014)

A film that I didn't expect anything from and watched it more by chance. I had a great time watching it and I was surprised by what can be created. And then I also came across a comic book that surprised me even more. The film is not a faithful adaptation, but it captures enough of the fundamental elements that make the comic book so unique. A film that I truly enjoyed from beginning to end and I look forward to watching it again someday. (27/02/2014)

Unfortunately, it just made me more and more bored... I once tried to read “Scott Pilgrim," but the book seemed pretty useless to me and intended for people about a hundred years younger than me, and I must say that the adaptation is very much faithful in this regard. There are plenty of ideas here, though, because Edgar Wright is a toyer, but the plot didn't interest me at all from about halfway and I felt like the avalanches of all sorts of cool things primarily numbed and suffocated me.
