Scott Pilgrim vs. My Patience

Rating: 1/10 (22 July 2011)

Honestly, when I saw the trailer for this movie in the cinema a long time ago, I really wanted to go see it, but its release coincided with a family holiday, so I had to wait and eventually forgot about the movie. Some months later(obviously) it came out on DVD and I decided to watch it with my girlfriend who was also quite excited.
All I can say is that we were so disappointed that after around 20-30 minutes we switched it off and watched something else.
For starters I'm a nerd, I love video games and Nintendo but the constant references were just dull and repetitive. It was far too over the top. The characters were also dull and their one liners were as punchy as a pacifist. The story was linear I felt that it should have lasted literally the 20-30minutes of my viewing.
The main reason I didn't like the movie was that Scott Pilgrim was a jerk. I mean how can you empathise with a character who cheats on his girlfriend? And thinks it's OK? And then carries on like nothing happened?
One more thing, how can a weedy nerd with no training beat up anyone especially 'evil' people who seem fairly tough? He's a weedy loser.
My advice, if you're between the ages of 12 and 17, you might (not definitely will) enjoy this movie because it has a lot of references to retro stuff that means nothing to you, 'cool' indie music and random untied extra garbage. If you're 18+ and genuinely like this movie, I literally have no idea why.
