THE NINJA vs. SUCKER PUNCH (2011)

Old review, but reposting here for your amusement.

I’m going to risk sounding cliché, but when a film’s main focus is great visuals, somewhere down the line the ball is dropped in exchange, and naturally, the victim that receives the most gouging is the film’s potential to tell a compelling story. And…

So, if you're new, you might not know what I do. This is the third year that I've done my two part "Year In Review" blogs where I talk about every film released in a single year that I've seen. I started in 2009 (as can be seen here and here) and did it again in 2010 (which can be looked at…

Before I start this blog, I feel I should make one small thing abundantly clear: I am not the world's biggest Superman fan. I don't hate the character, I actually quite like the character and the concept/mythology behind the character. However, for me, it depends on the incarnation or handling of the character. Also, I've always felt he's been kind of overused over the…

... Where do I begin? I could start off by saying how much backwards thinking went into this film with it's "message". Or I could mention how it's almost completely an unintentional rip-off of  The Asylum For Wayward…

Zack Snyder is an interesting director. I definitely think he's a very talented individual with a very good eye for the craft. 300, WATCHMEN, GUARDIANS and SUCKER PUNCH all have a very unique visual style and are all very well made films.

I love the whole idea and concept of SUCKER PUNCH.…
