	Author	Review
United States	Peter Travers Rolling Stone	"Scott Pilgrim is a breathless rush of a movie that jumps off the screen, spins your head around and then stealthily works its way into your heart (...) Rating: ★★★½ (out of 4)"	POS
United States	Claudia Puig USA Today	"The film fuses an indie/punk rock sensibility with comic-book violence and video game energy, mixed with quirky humor and sassy pop culture references"	POS
United States	A. O. Scott The New York Times	"Its speedy, funny, happy-sad spirit is so infectious that the movie makes you feel at home in its world even if the landscape is, at first glance, unfamiliar"	POS
United Kingdom	Helen O'Hara Empire	"It’s heartfelt, hilarious and a highly satisfying adaptation of the book. You don’t have to be a geek to adore it; you just have to remember being young. (...) Hollywood, don’t try to make a hundred of these. It won’t work. (...) Rating: ★★★★★ (out of 5)"	POS
United States	Scott Tobias AV Club	"Wright gives it his best (...) Yet taken as a whole, the film’s caffeinated energy burns to exhaustion"	NEU
United States	Betsy Sharkey Los Angeles Times	"The fun is not so much in who wins or loses the girl -- it's the playing that matters, and Scott Pilgrim vs. the World definitely has game"	POS
United Kingdom	Peter Bradshaw The Guardian	"'Scott Pilgrim' is an intriguing picture for being so exotic and eccentric, and for aligning itself with the style and structure of a videogame rather than a film (…) Rating: ★★★★ (out of 5)"	POS
United States	Kirk Honeycutt The Hollywood Reporter	"The fanboys and girls gave a resounding shriek of approval to Universal's 'Scott Pilgrim vs. the World' at Comic-Con. But the question remains -- will anybody else care?"	NEU
United States	Andrea Gronvall Chicago Reader	"Michael Cera elevates deadpan to an art (...) One of the most vivid and spirited adaptations of a comic book since 'Spider-Man'—;and one of the hippest since 'Ghost World'"	POS
United States	Peter Debruge Variety	"An example of attention-deficit filmmaking at both its finest and its most frustrating"	NEU
