HK Neo Reviews: Scott Pilgrim vs. the World

Rating: 3/10 (14 March 2011)

To be frank, a bad film
I am not entirely sure, why people liked this film? Maybe, I am just stupid and did not get it. That is probably the case. However, I just do not see any point of liking it. The reason I endured the film till the end is partly by the somewhat enjoyable cast and some fast moving story telling. Still, I do not see the point of the fights and most likely than not, I must have missed something. Michael Cera is making a career of roles like these and is fast becoming a cliché. While the whole cast of actors are enjoyable to watch, I just do not seem to be able to get into the film and have fun. Is it just me?
All in all, Scott Pilgrim is at its core a comic book film. Not that I read the comics, which probably answers my question as to why I did not like or get it. However, it must be said that some use of computer games effects are fun to watch. Still, a good gimmick or two does not justify me wasting a good 90 minutes. With all the rave and good reviews churning out all over the net, I even contemplated watching it in the cinemas. Now after the DVD venture, I am more than happy to declare that I didn't. Basically Scott Pilgrim does nothing for me and whether I get it or not is no longer an issue. The fact is I do not want to know(Neo 2010)
I rate it 3/10
