I've read about half of the Scott Pilgrim comic book series. The comics are quirky and fun but they don't always manage to completely hold my interest. The film was a more appealing concept with director Edgar Wright of 'Shaun of the dead' fame and a soundtrack featuring Beck and Broken Social Scene among others. A starring role for rent-a-nerd actor Michael Cera helped too.
The film is visually stunning, filled with comic book caption boxes and video game references. The music scenes work well. The opening 15 minutes felt a bit stilted but I really got into the story once I habituated myself to the narrative style.
Arty, funny and interesting.
