Scott Pilgrim vs. the World
Cue the plot scroll: having met the girl of his dreams – literally, as dorked-up Mary Elizabeth Winstead rollerblades through a desert dreamscape – 22-year-old bass guitarist Scott must defeat her seven evil exes to win her heart. Why? Because it’s a cool idea.
Proving himself a modern culture-mulcher to match Tarantino, Wright delivers a mash-up of manga, videogames and comic-book style that you’ve never quite seen before on the big screen.
Jonathan Crocker, Total Film
Wright may be the only director working today with the skill set to wring pathos from material this precariously superficial (…) He speaks for the distracted generation that frittered away their youth zoning in front of MTV for hours on end, navigating fantastic 8-bit worlds via the NES, gorging on comic books, and watching whatever was on HBO because it was on. Wright connects by accessing these shared memories, but he reaches well beyond nostalgia to an understanding of how this mass consumption of media fooled us all into believing we're living The Hero's Journey.

That movie is great. It’s spellbinding and nobody is going to understand what the fuck just hit them.
