Scott Pilgrim Vs. The World (2010)
Going into this, I wasn't expecting a masterpiece, but I also wasn't expecting what I saw.
I really can't flesh out an entire review of this, simply because... I hated it. Sure, it had some clever lines, and nods to the "classic" video games, but the story was so all over the place, I found myself wanting to leave (and I was watching it at home).
I don't know if it's Michael Cera's voice, his mannerisms, etc., I just don't like the kid. Seeing as how he was in a majority of the film, it was ruined for me.
Granted, I'm probably in the minority of people who didn't get/like it. Of course, it could be the exact opposite. I wasn't familiar with the source material, but as I've said before, that shouldn't matter. If you want the masses to spend money on the tickets, you should make it appeal to a broader spectrum of audiences.
In the end, it IS worth at least one viewing. I would say that if you were to base your decision on watching this, off this or any review, you would be wasting your time. You simply have to watch it.
