Scott Pilgrim Vs The World

There are a couple things you should know about this movie before you decide whether to watch it. For a start it is based on a series of graphic novels aimed at teens and young adults, so fans of the literature will have a big advantage in knowing what the heck is going on.

You should also be aware that the story is all a figment of the protagonist’s imagination. So the perfect love of Scott’s life, Ramona, is actually all in his head, as are her 7 Evil Exes who Scott must defeat in order to take Ramona as his girlfriend.

The movie is highly stylised, with words like “Kapow” appearing alongside karate kicks, and characters that are really just parodies put there to make it seem like you’re caught inside an old-school video arcade game – all of which is pretty cool if that’s your thing.

Rating: 3 outta 5.
