This ‘poem’ is pretty shocking. The picture no better. Forgive me.

Scott Pilgrim serves simply as an extended trailer:

A ‘kooky’ geek romance, though Juno’s a tad paler

and void of emotion… and a bit of a cunt

like the entire cast of characters

forgive my being blunt

but the highly stylized camera work is trying too hard to be unconventional

and despite the adaptation from comic everyone remains 2 dimensional

Whether it was intentional to have characters unworthy of empathy or not

it is hard to stay interested in the shallow, minimal plot.

Michael Cera’s diversity is still yet to be tested,

His development arrested by playing the same passive dweeb.

I don’t know if we are agreed

but after watching the trailer I got what was promised me:

supposing there’s no room for subtext in this simple-minded comedy.

However, if you’re amused by the surface and want to to delve beyond the first layer,

expect nothing more than the over-use of visual onomatopoeia,

or a cutting style creating action by appearing hectic –

Maybe I’d have felt more involved if I was epileptic
