Not bad, but barely qualifies as mediocre.

Rating: 1/10 (14 August 2010)

Scott Pilgrim vs the world is such a boring film. This is from the guy who directed Hot Fuzz and Shaun of the Dead? *shakes head*. If you've seen the trailer you don't need me to explain the premise, but suffice to say Michael Cera is a terrible actor. He's not funny in this movie, he looks like he doesn't care about anything that's going on, and we have no reason to care about him or his plight.
The movie is pretty much 100% eye candy. There's a good use of sound, and despite the fact I grew up during the height of the 8-bit gaming era, I felt a strong disconnect with this film. I mean what reason do we have to be interested in this film? The Evil Ex's are kind of interesting but their screen time is fairly minimal.
The protagonist is a jerk, and frankly the most interesting character in this film is Scott Pilgrim's gay roommate(Portrayed by Kieran Culkin). Even as a Gamer this movie was bland and uninteresting to say the least. Seriously, the fight scenes were pretty, but when I can say the fight scenes in Matrix Reloaded look better, something is terribly wrong.
Yeah, the visuals are cool, but even with those visuals this movie is still lame. It's really a marathon and really hard to sit through. The attempts at humor fall flat(Seriously, the best joke in the film is "I'm not bi-curious, I'm bi-furious") and it's attempt to be highly stylized will leave you hollow and empty.
