Sucker Punch I'll be honest, I liked this movie despite how utterly pointless it was. Maybe it was the fact that almost the entire cast was a compilation of not too hard on the eyes girls, or the fact that I'm a fan of both fantasy and sci-fi, which this film delivers in spades. Though I'm a little shamed to admit it, these are the only reasons for going to see Sucker Punch, and whether you like what you watch or not depends completely on how much you enjoy Zack Snyder's style (as in 300 and Watchmen. Lots of CGI and slow motion). I could sit here and go on about the film's many faults for an age, but read any review or see the film for yourself and you won't need me to tell you about the lack of a coherent plot or how it tries to be terribly meaningful towards the end. Some of the dialogue may make you cringe, also. There are lines I guess are supposed to be epic and quoted, but have nothing to do with the current situation.
Watch the trailer. You'll see some polished CGI and quite impressive action sequences. Go see the film if you want more of these elements, but stay home of you're searching for intellectual debate, plot and character development. Snyder claims that there are many social implications throughout. Well, that must be through his rose-tinted glasses, because I found none of that, nor did any of my friends that were with me. That said, the film wasn't bad at all. I'd go see it again if the chance came up, and I'll most probably end up buying it on DVD, which I don't admit about many movies at all. It was made to appeal to a teen demographic, and I won't pretend to any more than that; a nineteen year old that enjoys gratuitous action in his films every now and then. Not for intellectuals or those that need to be mind blown my hidden philosophical debate to come away satisfied.
Oh, I'm supposed to give a summary of the plot. Girl gets locked up. Girl tries to get out. Even that's a bit of excessive development.
