Scott Pilgrim Vs. The World Reviews Are Shiny-bright
Read "Scott Pilgrim vs. the World" reviews and the overwhelming message is the film is an explosive mix of comic book and video game culture. It's a world with which veteran video game players – particularly fans of fighters like "Street Fighter" – are well familiar. The augmented or artificial reality of "Scott Pilgrim" tends to sit well with those critics who found something of value within the ultra-violent comic book film "Kick Ass". However, fans of both have typically had even more favorable things to say about the Pilgrim.
Positive 'Scott Pilgrim vs. the World' reviews purchase into the fusion
New artistic forms are born from the fusion of a dizzying array of popular influences in "Scott Pilgrim vs. the World". Scott Pilgrim (Michael Cera of "Juno," "Nick and Nora's Infinite Playlist" and "Youth in Revolt") is a young slacker who spends his time playing music in a band and looking for the love of his life. He finds it in delivery girl Ramona Flowers (Mary Elizabeth Winstead), but there's a problem – seven difficulties, to be specific. Scott must take down Ramon's exes before he can "win" her love. When this is an overly simplistic plot device, that's hardly the point with "Scott Pilgrim vs. the World". It may not teach you anything, but that's OK. Critics in favor say we should sit back and enjoy the ride as it washes over.
A fusion of reviews in the land of nerdville
The New York Daily News loves the visual flair of "Scott Pilgrim vs. the World". It is a surreal mix that Film.com rightly tabs and on-the-mark for its intended audience of 20-somethings. Michael Cera channels his trademark nerdiness to fine degree in the film, says the L.A. Times, and its entirely appropriate to the film's series of influences.
Play on, Pilgrims
"Scott Pilgrim vs. the World" rocks through the changes in an eye-and ear-pleasing blowout. As Sharkey puts it, "Though the fun is not so much in who wins or loses the girl — it is the playing that matters". But on the other side of the fence are reviewers like Kyle Smith of the New York Post. He writes that "the movie just skitters this way and that (and) has a love affair with itself". That ride may not be for every person, but it captures its target audience with panache. "All games, no joystick" is what the Post has to say; perhaps they would have preferred the Scott Pilgrim video game.
