Unfortunately, we ended up sitting in the first row, which meant that we couldn't read everything. My neck is still soar.

One word to describe the film: awesome. 9/10 from me and my bf.

Nice to see you again, prettyxcool.
Feebies, I didnt know about that one - was this nationwide or just London cinemas, that explains why it was so full then

Me three... o/
I usually went to see a movie without seeing the trailer, so, I definitely don't know what to expect. but the minute Universal studio logo&theme started I'm hooked. My hubby and I laughed thru out the movie. This is definitely one of the most unique and creative approach of a movie. Are we watching a game or a movie...or both? Learning from Step-up mistake (late & have to sit on the first row, and seeing 3D till my eyes watery!), I came early but surpris surprise, others were earlier :D . Didn't know about the goodies but happy to receive it... got the hat and the hubby got the T's (which I guess both end up for him :cool: ) yeayyy! The only minor set back, me (a shorty) sat behind a tall with volume hair person. Nobody's fault... but it's hard to move since the house was full. BTW, why is it everytime in Trocadero, the free screening always in a tiny house :confused:

Due to blocked view and have to tilt my head to the left and right to get better view, I gave it 8/10. Fun fun fun :p

My 19 year old son went and took three friends (thanks to the generosity of a_person who made that possible) and his review follows:

Scott Pilgrim was kinda fun. Lots of smiles but not many laughs. I thought the first half hour or so before the first fight was the best bit but all the fights seemed really repetitive and crammed in (except the vegan was pretty funny). They just felt a bit samey and probably worked better in the comic although I haven't read it. Also didn't think the whole real life vs video game theme wasn't pushed quite strongly enough. The editing was excellent though and I do like Michael Cera even if he does have a habit for always playing the same character. 3/5.

I absolutely loved this, much quirkier and funnier than I thought it would be -a great transition from to comic book to film.
Definitely will p*y to see this again.
9/10
