Not seen Scott Pilgrim? You suck. Surprising no one.

Edgar Wright has done it again. Another action packed comedy has hit our screens, and it lives up to the standers set by Shawn of the dead and Hot fuzz. Written by Bryan Lee O'Malley, Scott Pilgrim is a tale of love with a twist. In order for Scott to date Ramona Flowers, He must defeat her seven Evil Exes.

The graphic novels, on which the film is based on, is heavy with video game references. And these carry over to the film. From the 8 bit remix of the universal theme, to Scott Levelling up, the film is full of things for Gamers to spot and feel awesome about.

That's not to say non-gamers can't enjoy the film. There are plenty of laughs to be had for all. Most of them coming from Scott's awesome gay room-mate, Wallace. By far my favourite character from the series, he provides most of the one-liners and situational gags.

More jokes come from the style of the film. Edgar Wright has gone all out here and has perfectly transferred the comic book style to the big screen. Every blow is accompanied by a subtle "thwok" or "blam". Character introductions are done with the same black boxes used in the books, and he even went as far as to animate some of the original panels to illustrate the flashbacks.

Unfortunatly, the plot starts to take a back seat near the end of the film. The action starts to take over a bit, and those who haven't read the books or understand the concept of a 1-up, may start to get a bit confused. I however saw it with 13 other people who hadn't read the books, and they still got it. But with all the flashy special effects, you start not to care. And with 6 books being squidged into one film, it's understandable that a lot of it will get cut, and some details will be changed. It doesn't make the film any less enjoyable.

My advice for you is to go to your nearest cinema, and watch this film. It's the sort of thing that loves the big screen and surround sound effects. Watching it for the first time on a DVD/Blue-ray may lessen the effect. This is a film that everyone should enjoy.

And that includes you.
