If you're a fan of old school video games (Zelda, the first four Final Fantasy games, etc) you're going to definitely notice a couple of references. In fact, the movie itself is like one long reference – though mostly to comics.
It's designed like a comic, which shouldn't come as a shocker since it's based off a series of graphic novels. However, Spiderman was also based off of comics and that was one continuous story. Scott Pilgrim vs. The World almost seems to be cut up and filmed in panels. I can understand why the critics flamed it, but I also think they were resistant to difference and, quite frankly, closed minded jack-offs. As you may be able to tell already, I can also tell why there's a cult following for the movie.
It's different, it's fun and entertaining. Tell me, what more do you want from a movie?
The best part is that not only does the movie do it without throwing an underlying lesson in your face, but if you search deep enough you still find that meaning there. I mean, what would you rather do when meeting your significant others ex? Have that awkward meeting/conversation where you're trying not to say too much and sizing each other up or bust out some wicked magical powers and start zapping each other in the ass until one of you bursts into coins and gives the other some massive life- points? The latter is just so much more fun.
