Admirable film.

Despite having a bad critical and commercial success, this is still one of my favorite Zach Snyner film. The others are Dawn of the Dead, The 300 and The Watchmen. I if the Japanese made yhis film, this will be a classic. But since Hollywood critics are harsher to Hollywood made films, they negatively review this.

This is probably the most underrated movie of all time. If there ever was such a thing as critic-collectivism wherein everyone just follows everyone else, then this movie is evidence of that. Most reviews I've read I just shake my head at wondering if they even saw the movie.I even saw a few self-proclaimed "feminists" complaining that this film is very shallow, violent, and degrading towards women, those folk definitely did not see this movie. If you watch this movie and think such things, and I am sorry if this sound pretentious, but if so you really need to start using your brain.This is a brilliant, very intellectual movie that deals with escapism, dream scenarios and it speaks a lot in metaphor. To me very similar to Donnie Darko, another movie I love. People watching and loving things like Transformers and Justice League might not enjoy this movie. I also understand that the tone of this movie within a deep metaphoric world will not appeal to all, but hot darn this is definitely for those of you loving psychology, deep thoughts, intelligent stories and escapism. Before Snyder ruined BvS, which is one of the worst movies ever made, and before he helped mess up Justice League, he did make the really good Watchmen and this unsung masterpiece. This is a movie that definitely belongs on a top 20 movies of all time list. A 9/10, and highly recommended.

There has never been a better example of the need to have as little prior knowledge before watching a film as an indispensable requirement to enjoy said film. Firstly, try for a moment to imagine having heard none of Zack Snyder's ridiculous notion that Sucker Punch is an empowering feminist work; it increased the scrutiny regarding the plot devices he used, which led to all those who rightly deemed that revenge rape story lines are completely unrelated to female empowerment. When just viewed as a story on its own, then I feel most fail to see the balance (or at least as close as you can get to that concept given Snyder's aesthetic) Sucker Punch achieves in addressing topics of abuse in all kinds without shying away from the consequences and without exploiting the acts themselves to generate interest. In short, I had no problems with the story or in the way it was portrayed.In addition, a lot of viewers have complained about the covers of some of their favourite songs, ranging from the Eurythmics' Sweet Dreams, Björk's Army of Me, Queen's We Will Rock You the Pixies' Where is my mind and the The Beatles' Tomorrow never knows. I for one hold no strong feelings for the original versions of these songs (would even go as far as to say those last two are better than their original versions, mainly because I dislike the Pixies and Beatles) and was pleasantly surprised by the apt selection of accompanying tracks to the varied action sequences.Lastly, I saw the director's cut, which is mandatory for an ambitious and indulgent film such as Sucker Punch; if you go hard, than go all the way (the closest comparison I have in this regard is the overly absurd 功夫 (Kung Fu Hustle)). Maybe this version is more clear and understandable than the theatric version as I had no problem discerning the plot and all the thematic subtexts in one sitting.I do have the feeling at times I was watching an extended in-game cut scene, but I did not mind it at all, because this lend itself to exploring a range of video game staples, namely Nazi Zombies (thanks Call of Duty: World at War) and a variety of Japanese anime tropes (especially the excessive panty flashing in the first action sequence).If I had to summarise, I immediately accepted Snyder's intend with Sucker Punch and he had me intrigued from start to finish. Blame my soft spot for convoluted and pretentious story lines that thrive solely on minimal information delivery, because I quite liked the ending as well

Cinematic non-entity Emily Browning stars as an orphan living in some Gothic version of 1950's America. Problems with her ridiculously evil stepdad lands her in a mental hospital (or home for the "mentally insane" as the film calls it ... distinguishing from a home for the physically insane I suppose), from which she escapes by ... perhaps ... imagining that she's in a cabaret/brothel where her and a troop of other girls have to dance for the customers. From this fantasy reality she occasionally slips into a further fantasy reality (no, I don't know how that's supposed to work either), where her and the other girls fight dragons and Nazi robots using swords and machine guns. There are elaborate parallels between the 3 levels of reality, but it would be a lie to say I stopped caring because I really never started caring about any of this. It's difficult to imagine another case where so many resources were spent on so little.
