Eh, it's passable. Zack Snyder is both the film's greatest strength and its biggest flaw. His screenplay is a disaster and the film would have been so in the hands of a lesser director. Yes, I said it. I find Snyder to be an underrated, ambitious and extremely talented director. Of course, he still has a ways to go, as we can clearly see here, where he does his trademark flaw of improvable storytelling, which is even worse here, as he is clearly too proud of his first original story to clean up the holes that he could have easily fixed. Still, there is enough of what's great about him in here to make it passable.

2/5 - Passable (Spill Translation: Rental)

I just finished watching it. Didn't have to pay for it so maybe that colours my thoughts about it, but I thought it was alright. Not great, but the action scenes - though very Zack Snyderish - were pretty cool. I appreciate the fighting choreography and military/anime style the girls were using. I didn't buy baby-faced Emily Browning for a second as an ass kicker, and she really kept throwing me out of the movie, but in the end those couple of fight scenes were good. But I can understand that not being good enough to rate a full-priced or even matinee ticket, so I give it a rental.

This could have saved the film for me:

either Amy Lee singing this tune

or Paramore covering this

Great idea, terrible execution is what I say.

While I might be crucified for this, I say that the film sucks because the soundtrack as "Sweet Dreams (Are Made of These)" but no "Separate Ways (Worlds Apart)" to complement it.  If any Journey song, or even any 80's Arena Rock or Sleaze Metal song, was in this film, it would have been Matinee or High Rental, but this lack is unforgivable.

 I'm a little surprised by everyone calling out for bloody vengence on this movie.  Did you not see the trailer before you walked in to the theater.  I knew right away what I was paying for.  Hot girls in sexy outfits kicking ass and it delivered on that promise.   As for the story.  Does anyone remember the series "The Maxx" about a homeless bum who belives he's a superhero.  "SuckerPunch" had elements of that mixed in with parts of "Brazil".  When things got too rough in the real world  and Babydoll couldn't handle it anymore she would escape into her fantasy world.  She may have been doing that way before she got sent away.

Zack Snyder is, without a doubt, one of the worst filmmakers of all time. 

 

I find hit hilarious that his first "original" movie sucks.

I love video games, anime, and hot chicks wearing sexy stuff...this movie was BULLSHIT!!!  I left the theater depressed, hoping that the movie would be good.  Visually is nice, but the story is just so terrible that it overshadows any or everything good about this movie.  It was a concept that was good on paper, but was executed extremely poorly.  Definitely a SOME OL' BULLSHIT, and it sucks because I really wanted to like this movie.

you haven't seen sucker punch until you've seen it high

And when I mean "to have fun with it," I meant I had a good time with the film, and despite that, the points that annoyed me with the film was the constant overlap between the reality of the asylum that the main character is trapped in and the brothel she imagines.  The action scenes in this are well made but don't save the film by the end, which sucker punched me in the head where I expected Zach Snyder to do better.  This is still to me a rental because what saves it from some ole bull**** was the craftsmanship that went into such an empty downer film.
