Scott Pilgrim vs. the World

Energy and invention and audacity count for little unless you can sense something at its core - unless a film gives you something to feel - but there is zilch here. It's hollow.

Edgar Wright's Scott Pilgrim vs. The World adaptation cut its Adderall with pixie-stix...to gleeful, great success.

Full of fresh, sharp touches and nonchalantly brash performances, Scott Pilgrim vs. the World consistently hits the sweet spot.

It's fresh, funny, inventive and unique.

Scott Pilgrim vs. the World becomes a fatal case of flash over substance. Pretty great flash, though.

Fitfully entertaining and sometimes brilliantly silly — just not really engaging, and occasionally objectionable.

So much of the film is completely nonsensical, bringing new meaning to the notion of a live action video game movie.

Easily Summer 2010's wildest, most inventive and original comedy.

Edgar Wright's love letter to geekdom is still wildly inventive and imaginative ten years on.

Scott Pilgrim vs. the World stands out as a film adaptation that loves its source material's medium as much as it loves its stories.
