Rating: 9/10 (18 March 2013)

As someone who has never played a video game ever I did not appreciate the use of video game sounds throughout this movie. I found it offensive to the vast majority of the public who have no idea what a Sega is and I would hope that those in charge will not make such a foolish decision ever again. This being said the music within the film was in my humble opinion +++, however I was concerned by the simple fact that the music was live, which creates a ridiculous risk, which for someone with my social anxiety resulted in a severe panic attack. Scott Pilgrim is renowned for being a stylish movie, but I felt the use of OST (On Screen Text) was gratuitous to the point of nausea (ad nauseum). When I watch a movie I do not want to read during it, if I wanted to read I would have stayed at home and read a comic book. However I suppose this is to be expected from a foreign film. My main concern for this film is the simple but downright disgusting use of strong violence throughout, with a strong basis in using cumbersome and unimaginative weaponry. Do you really need to dedicate an entire scene to a fight? What message is this sending out to the younger generations? I will tell you because that wasn't a rhetorical question. A BAD MESSAGE. Finally, I was pleased that the film came to a happy conclusion for all parties, but was surprised and a little shocked to find there was no intimate sex scene between the 2 protagonists (the girls), neither were even topless. I feel that I wasted £2.99 in purchasing this film from the Morrisons bargain bin and am disappointed in all who took part, apart from Toby Maguire who really rocked that last scene.
To conclude, not all that great but a little bit better than Debbie Does Dallas. Our score you ask? A pitiful 9.0 out of 10.0.
