Scott Pilgram vs. Me!

Rating: 1/10 (20 September 2010)

Scott Pilgrim vs. The World (or at least the first 45mins of it) is the most Putrid, Disgusting, Insulting, Vile, Humourless, Trendy, Ugly, Offensive, Appalling, Awful, Detestable, Dreadful, Obnoxious, Hideous, Loathsome, Pretentious and Repellent piece of film making i have ever seen! The acting was awful, the dialogue was awful, the characters were all horrible people, the editing was obnoxious and annoying, the special effects were obnoxious and annoying, the story was Annoying, the music was awful and there was Not one Single Redeeming or Likable Feature about The Whole Thing!
The frenetic editing style mixed with lots of colourful flashing things almost seemed like a desperate attempt to keep the audience focused on the film, treating their aged 16-25 demographic like magpies with short term memory loss, if there isn't something flashy, colourful and new on the screen every 10 seconds their eyes might wonder away from the screen and down to their iPhones, since they just can't stop themselves from updating their Facebook status in the middle of the cinema. Besides that i found the whole arcade game mixed with comic book style tiresome and ugly to look at.
The whole film is so obnoxious and in you face all the time with its "oooh we're so geeky, cool and retro, yeah 8-Bit rules, i'm in a band!, Pac-Man is so totally awesome" etc attitude which is pretentious and sickening. The attitude of the film is that of Pseudo-Intellectual student/trendy/hipster/cool kid posturing, it was trying too hard to be clever, i couldn't focus on what was going on because the editing and the special effect were giving me a headache, the characters had nothing interesting to say and were (for the most part) horrible people, i couldn't relate or care about them at all and the whole film was messy, unfocused and most of all Uninvolving.
I was so full of rage that i felt like i was about to have a panic attack, i was hyperventilating, my whole body was shaking, my knuckles were white from clenching my fists and i felt physically sick! We Just HAD to Walk Out, i was so ANGRY i started screaming in the middle of the street and my hand had a steel like grip over my mouth to try and stop me from swearing on top of my lungs! I mean i wasn't sure if i was going to like it but i did not expect to be so insulted and enraged and i highly doubt if the remaining 67 minutes would have been any better! I have Never walked out of a screening in a cinema before and its my ultimate golden rule never to do so even if its really bad, i stick with it until the end so i can say i have seen the whole film and i can make a fully informed opinion about it BUT THERE IS ONLY SO MUCH I CAN PUT UP WITH!!!
