Scott Pilgrim Vs. the World: Review By Joseph

Hollow Stinker with Sprinkles on Top

Outside of the razzle-dazzle effects, which grow old by battle #3 (Brandon Routh), the movie has no substance. The effects and direction are interesting but the movie is so concerned with these components that the creators assume that their presence alone can make up for a lack of engaging characters and story. I never cared one iota about any of the characters; as they, like the story itself, were never developed in any meaningful way. The movie also felt really long and by #4 I couldn't wait for it to end; not to imply that I was engaged in seeing a resolution, as a conflict or substantial challenge demanding a resolution was never developed; no it just became increasingly uninteresting. This of course is largely due to the characters, which never moved beyond one dimension and their relationships, particularly the main one, which were grounded in absolutely nothing. Indeed I'd say it's the most baseless romance since Anakin & Padme pretended to like each other despite more evidence of dislike between those characters. There were a few laughs here and there but over all this is a hollow stinker with sprinkles (colorful yet meaningless effects) on top.
