A film that lives up to its hype

Rating: 8/10 (6 September 2010)

I don't know anything about comic books and it must be over 20 years since I last put away my Megadrive so I don't expect I fitted the film's demographic. I don't care.
I thought this movie was original, funny and exciting and I left the theatre with a huge smile on my face. Thanks to all involved for giving me a big dollop of cheerful escapism.
Pilgrim is a slacker who is destined to go through life "between jobs" and the film records some of the trials and tribulations he faces while trying hard not to grow up.
Forget about the plot - there isn't one to speak of, just enjoy the original way that sound and visual effects overlay the film in a way that threatens to get out of hand.
Some funny lines too.
Loved it.
