Scott Pilgrim n'a jamais eu de problème à trouver une petite amie, mais s'en débarrasser s'avère plus compliqué. Entre celle qui lui a brisé le coeur – et qui est de retour en ville – et l'adolescente qui lui sert de distraction au moment où Ramona entre dans sa vie - en rollers - l'amour n'a jamais été chose facile. Il va cependant vite réaliser que le nouvel objet de son affection traîne les plus singulières casseroles jamais rencontrées : une infâme ligue d'ex qui contrôlent sa vie amoureuse et sont prêts à tout pour éliminer son nouveau prétendant. À mesure que Scott se rapproche de Ramona, il est confronté à une palette grandissante d'individus patibulaires qui peuplent le passé de sa dulcinée : du mesquin skateur à la rock star végétarienne en passant par une affreuse paire de jumeaux. Et s'il espère séduire l'amour de sa vie, il doit triompher de chacun d'eux avant que la partie soit bel et bien "over". (Universal International FR)

Geyser d'idées, de folie sympathique et de scènes "de combat" plus claires que celles offertes par les films d'action les plus élaborés. Si les adolescents d'aujourd'hui s'évadaient avec ce genre de choses au lieu de se cantonner à des superficialités du genre Twilight, tout serait meilleur. JEREMIE

After 5 minutes, I knew that this film would not be my cup of tea, and after 10 minutes, I realized that I was genuinely suffering. Nevertheless, as a typical weakling, I endured for another half hour, only to finally understand that every additional minute was an unequivocal waste of time and that there are plenty of more interesting activities in the world, starting with sex and ending with delicious food, to which I could give preference. Actually, anything deserves preference in this case. I could elaborate on the comic book aesthetics but it is influenced by a series of films that really appealed to me. I could go on about how this is a film aimed at the young generation, but so was Misfits, and I had a great time with that series. The best adjective to describe Scott Pilgrim is adolescent. Adolescently directed and tailored for teenagers. Furthermore, it is based on a stereotype and subsequently becomes boring. It had nothing to offer me, but undeniable professionalism compels me to give it one star. Overall impression: 25%.

So many corpses and not a drop of blood... I hate Michael Cera, his dumb mug and moronic one-liners bother me, so I had a major problem with Scott Pilgrim. On the other hand, there's Edgar Wright, a playful visual magician who turned this unbelievable nonsense into a special effects orgy full of memories of youthful gaming days. And the action scenes are top notch.

If someone has watched, read, listened, and recorded plenty of things, and they can also film in such a way that it is perfectly entertaining, then we’ve got nothing to worry about. During the screening, I wanted to chant and cheer loudly, and after it was over, I wanted to go back to the box office and do it all over again. This sort of "style geyser" cannot be absorbed the first time around. This is the second film this year where inventive British filmmaking has made an incredible splash for Hollywood money.

An incredibly original visual action ride, packed from beginning to end with directorial tweaks, graphics, and situational and verbal humour; every sentence is a joke. Scott Pilgrim is thoroughbred fun that demands a lot of attention from the viewer if they want to get all the jokes. If you ignore the superficial shiny tinsel, what’s left is a straight line that recycles old clichés with unprecedented vigour, relies on the repetition of one motive and takes place in an internally inconsistent and utterly insane world, but nobody cares. That would be very bad, but the protagonist is an ordinary geek who’s probably never come up with anything original (pick-up line), he only cares about one thing (video games) and his world and life cannot be considered deep or complex. The only question left is whether this film can be considered as a portrayal of the world through the eyes of Scott Pilgrim, or whether I’m just looking for things that aren’t there. Either way, it was a lot of fun. 9/10
