Scott Pilgrim Vs The World
USA 2010, 112 minutes
Dir. Edgar Wright

Aroview: Wearing its super-coolness on its sleeve, this precocious action-comedy stars archetypal geek Michael Cera as a gawky bass-player who must battle to the death his dream girl's seven deadly ex-lovers.
The dir. of SHAUN OF THE DEAD and HOT FUZZ brings the graphic novel to dynamic life, with clutches of cool forged from the gaming, movie and indie-music worlds into a designer-dazzling whole. Its comic-book silliness and visual relentlessness will likely tire 'non-Pilgrims' in the audience before its funky end-credits role, but it has the spunk to hold a dominant place on the cultural zeitgeist of 2010, being tailor-made for fantasy fan-boys and girls hard-wired to social media.

3 stars (Good Enough) Faithful movie adaptation of the comic it's based on, this works by showing an appealing merge of the formal qualities of both media. Rife with clever dialogue and visuals, it embodies 'comic' fun in both senses of the word. ~SteveParkes
4 stars (Very Good) One of the freakin' coolest films an 8-bit-era videogame geek could ever wish to see. Comic-book awesomeness; Cera and Winstead are perfect as Pilgrim and Flowers. ~Tom H
5 stars (Exceptional) Manages to be both an excellent zombie movie and an excellent comedy. ~dr.strangelove
3 stars (Good Enough) Great fun, but I thought it too episodic and repetitive to be fully satisfying. And for a Michael Cera film, god help me, I preferred 'Nick & Nora's Infinite Playlist'. Winstead isn't really a match for Kat Dennings in the indie-chick stakes. ~HiFi
2 stars (Good Try) Rather uninvolving and pleased with itself. ~Nick McB
3 stars (Good Enough) Cera is a bit one dimensional but there is compensation in the supporting cast. The screenplay is uneven but the good bits are worth waiting for. ~Tubbs
