Critics' reviews

"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"

Claudia Puig: USA Today
"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)"

Peter Travers: Rolling Stone
"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"

A. O. Scott: The New York Times
"Wright gives it his best (...) Yet taken as a whole, the film’s caffeinated energy burns to exhaustion"

Scott Tobias: AV Club
"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"

Betsy Sharkey: Los Angeles Times
"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?"

Kirk Honeycutt: The Hollywood Reporter
"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'"

Andrea Gronvall: Chicago Reader
