Scott Pilgrim vs. the World
Michael Cera is Scott Pilgrim, a young slacker and bassist for a rubbish garage band called Sex Bob-omb. He's in love with the rollerblading Ramona Flowers (Mary Elizabeth Winstead, Grindhouse, Deathproof). To win her, Scott must defeat her seven evil ex-boyfriends who in turn all want to kill him. These boyfriends include a skateboarder, a vegan rock star and a pair of fearsome identical twins. The fantastic cast also includes Kieran Culkin, Jason Schwartzman, Brandon Routh (Superman) and Anna Kendrick (Up In The Air).
This is a comic book adaptation and is Edgar Wright's third film after Shaun of the Dead and Hot Fuzz.

Variety
pressWith Michael Cera in the title role, twentysomethings and under will swiftly embrace this original romancer.

pressw00t! Edgar Wright levels up with a fun, fizzy beat-‘em-up that’s part action, part comedy and all geek.
The New York Times
pressIts speedy, funny, happy-sad spirit is so infectious that the movie makes you feel at home in its world even if the landscape is, at first glance, unfamiliar.
Rolling Stone
pressScott Pilgrim is a breathless rush of a movie that jumps off the screen, spins your head around and then stealthily works its way into your heart.
Los Angeles Times
pressThough the fun is not so much in who wins or loses the girl - it's the playing that matters, and Scott Pilgrim vs. the World definitely has game.
Hollywood Reporter
pressThis is a discouragingly limp movie in which nothing is at stake.

pressIt’s heartfelt, hilarious and a highly satisfying adaptation of the book. You don’t have to be a geek to adore it; you just have to remember being young. But one word of caution: Hollywood, don’t try to make a hundred of these. It won’t work.

pressAdorable Michael Cera with his puppydog eyes, lends Scott Pilgrim (who is actually a bit of a dick), some much needed sympathy, but he's not entirely likeable. It's true that Scott's girlfriends - past and present - are too good for him, but then, isn't that true of most relationships?
Edgar Wright's Scott Pilgrim vs. The World is one of the most entertaining movies ever. Perfectly paced, dazzling visuals, amazing fight choreography. Great editing and l adore the soundtrack. If you don't like this movie, there's something wrong with you. Scott Pilgrim vs. The World is flawless. Grade: A+
The Film was ok but i think they expressed using points to much, just making it like a arcade game purely..... but to be fair i liked the storyline about the several evil boyfriends.
A dazzling, infectious, innovative and hilarious rush of a movie. A smart blend of video game, comic book and action-comedy that is a truly entertaining joyride.
Scott Pilgrim, 22, loves Ramona Flowers. However, if he is to date her, he must defeat her seven evil exes. Edgar Wright delivers a two hour sonic boom of pop-culture 8-bit hipsterism, smashing every genre in its wake. The dialog is crammed full of with wit and charm. The quick-fire editing is relentlessly sublime. Every performance is delivered with...
Wow, I can't believe some of you who can't understand such simple humour... Scott Pilgrim is a spectacular film with amazing visuals, surprisingly good acting and a heartwarming ending.
The movie layout was very enjoyable but maybe not somthing my older relatives/ family member would enjoy. However unlike all the other "trolls" bagging on the movie its filming is very close to what the comic was actually like not to mention the arcade game!
Anyone who played video games like Sonic and Super Mario Bros back in the day will love this. P.S. The Vegan Police are awesome.
