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.

So many corpses and not a drop of blood... I hate Michael Cera, his dumb mug and moronic one-liners bother me, so I had a major problem with Scott Pilgrim. On the other hand, there's Edgar Wright, a playful visual magician who turned this unbelievable nonsense into a special effects orgy full of memories of youthful gaming days. And the action scenes are top notch.

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.

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.

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.
