Scott Pilgrim vs. the World

 (Edgar Wright/2010/UK & USA)

This is great, nonsensical nerdy fun, all done in the style of an arcade game as Scott, besotted with a girl called Ramona, has to defeat her ex boyfriends to be able to date her. He’s a guitarist in a garage rock band and they are roped in through a battle of the band competition, helping defeat some of the exes and adding kudos to the whole affair with some cool indie music. He levels up, wins an extra life, falls out with the band and attains a super weapon before kicking everyone’s ass. A ball of fun if that’s what you’re after.

(3/5)
