Scott Pilgrim vs. The World... Continue?

First of all, this is not a review! This movie has been out even in DVD format since the end of last year. This is just a reflection on the movie, and on its critique.
Tonight, I saw Scott Pilgrim vs. the World for the second time, and I had to think for a while why do I like this movie, why when the credits start rolling I find myself with a silly smile in my face.
Let's see, in order to like this film you must a) have played old video games in arcades. Not just any video game, but those involving martial arts, especially the multilevel ones from the beginning of the 80s. b) You must like comics, you don't have to be a savvy comic reader, in fact, the first time I saw Scott Pilgrim, I had never heard about the graphic novel before. c) As a follow up to this last point, not knowing the Scott Pilgrim comic will help to not having a preconceived idea that interfered with the director's vision.d) Most likely you should be familiar with the work of Michael Cera, who I think is a great actor in the roles he plays, which are very much alike his own persona I believe. Cera is definitely an actor who has embraced "typecasting". Despite how the "real" Scott may be and behave in the graphic novel, Cera delivers a character that may have been perfect if he wouldn't have had those fighting superpowers. Cera in fighting scenes was very hard to believe even within Pilgrim's fantasy  world. However, isn't that a feature of many video games? A rather unlikely superhero kicking ass everywhere and every way. d) Finally, one must be ready to agree that a movie concept well delivered can make up for a simple and far-from-profound script.
If you have or agree with at least two of these premises, you are a serious candidate to like Scott Pilgrim vs. the World.

The absolutely best thing about this film, in my modest opinion,  is Edgar Wright (Shaun of the Dead, Hot Fuzz) direction. The British helmer offers us, once again, a new concept for a combination of traditional genres. In this case, comedy and action, before comedy and horror (Shaun of the Dead), or comedy and police action (Hot Fuzz). The comic and video game forms fusion with film to create a never-seen before cinematic experience. It is, no doubt, a film for a young audience. There is no way a person over 50, who has ever read a comic, or played a video game, can give a explanation to the abrupt breaking of time and space sequences, or the coins spurting out of defeated "evil exes". Nevertheless, this film should be understand for what it is, not for what one wants it to be.

This film has its own audience, people who will love it, people who would appreciate the novelty, people who would not understand a thing about it, and people who would hate it. Everyone is entitled to his or her own opinion. What I don't understand is a bad review of a film critic. I understand a review of a bad critic, who will put his or her own personal opinion into words without understanding the universe surrounding the product.
