Scott Pilgrim Vs. The World Review

Scott Pilgrim vs The World

Unleashed imagination is a hell of a rare thing to find at the movies this play-it-safe summer. Inception, sure, but then what? Try Scott Pilgrim vs. the World, a dazzling distillation of Bryan Lee O’Malley’s six-volume graphic novel. Many graybeard critics don’t understand what any sentient being past the age of reason could find of interest in Scott’s plight to win the love of dream girl Ramona Flowers by defeating her seven evil exes in mortal combat. Even with the stellar Michael Cera bringing Scott to vivid flesh-and-blood life, the drill is that comic-book movies are kid stuff. And the haters laugh at the pretension of calling a comic book a graphic novel, same thing as labeling porn adult entertainment…read more [RollingStone]

Could Michael Cera be getting more vaporous with each repeat of his epicene screen persona? His Scott Pilgrim is so pale, so enervated, so solipsistic, I’d swear I could see right through him. Add in the faux hip, self-congratulatory, dork-pandering assault of the first half-hour or so of Edgar Wright’s adaptation of the Bryan Lee O’Malley comic-book series — not to mention the non-stop Pavlovian laugh track provided by the audience at the screening I attended — and you have a candidate for most irritating performance of the year.
Fortunately, the “vs. the World” part — the series of unabashedly absurd mano-a-manos between Scott and the exes of his new love, Ramona (Mary Elizabeth Winstead) — kicks in not a moment too soon. Another plus is the music composed by Beck and Nigel Godrich to be performed by Scott’s band, Sex Bob-Omb. (The allusion to Super Mario Bros. is just the start of the suffocating homage to retro video games.) Indeed, anything that stifles the Juno-esque dialogue, the cutesy spelled-out sound effects à la the old Batman TV show, the music cue from Seinfeld, and all the other pop detritus is welcome. Whatever gives Wright a fighting chance to engage in a more kinetic and comedic mode, one worthy of the director of Shaun of the Dead and Hot Fuzz…read more [The Boston Phoenix]
