Sucker Punch

This movie was not as bad as some of y'all and the reviewers made it out to be. I've seen far worse films, anytime you have an all girl action flick the acting won't be good as was the case here. But luckily I thought the plot was creative and it was visually GREAT

Overall 7/10
All the girls were

especially Baby Doll (dem lips

So, this was from the director of 300 ,Watchmen, and Dawn of the Dead (remake). I liked all three movies, but I thought that Sucker Punch had to be his most sub-par work yet. I mean, the action scenes and visuals are nice, but that's about it. I know it seems like a movie where you should "turn your brain off", but after reading through a full synopsis of the plot, the director seems like he tried to create something with "depth" but ultimately failed at it. There wasn't a lot of room for interpretation, it seems. The movie just fell short of the interesting premise it had going for it. All in all, it's just a visual splendor that takes cues from a lot of material out there.

"Where do I fricking start? You get the backstory of the film for about 15 minutes in a mental asylum, father trying to get rid of his daughter, and as soon as you think she's going to get lobotomized, it switches to the womens prison? Is that even the right evaluation? What the hell kind of place are they in? It's part brothel, part prison, part dance school, but mostly STUPID. I just can't sympathize for this film at all. So apparently, Babydoll can dance, and sends everyone into a trance who watches, including herself, and her and her girls somehow are able to fight off bad guys in her trance-dreams. But her friends in the prison also are allowed to move freely while everyone else is in the trance, but they can't mess up in the dream or it'll affect them in real life! Nightmare on Elm Street anyone?"

-First off, the girl being lobotimized was Sweet Pea. Not Baby Doll. And that wasn't her father either...Step-Father. Anyways, the whole theme of the movie was "control the world you live in". Keep this in mind. Sweet Pea goes to get lobotimized and then she yells "STOP!" and the whole Burlesque scene is birthed. BUT in reality, she never yells stop because she gets lobotimized by Donald Draper. Everything that followed that is Sweet Pea controlling "the world she lives in". Even at the end, Baby Doll tells Sweet Pea that this isn't her (Baby Doll) story, but it's Sweet Pea's. Baby Doll's "story" doesn't start until she meets the High Roller (Don Draper) aka her lobotomy. Also, notice how all the females die EXCEPT the ones who were in the movie before the lobotomy because they were all part of Sweet Pea's imagination.

i find it funny that dudes go to a movie just because good looking women are in it

i mean damn, most dudes don't even pay for the porn that they watch, i don't get it

movie looks completely terrible

It only made $8 million on its first day. With a budget of $82 million, this is going to bomb at the box office. The studio is praying they can recoup in Blu-Ray/DVD sales because its highly unlikely that they will at the box office.

Yo in all honesty I enjoyed the movie a lot it didn't suck 
the movie is basically a remake/modern version of "one flew over the ****oos nest" so if you say it has no plot then you must have fell asleep in the movie.

I'm usually not a fan of these types of visual movies. Being a set and design major, movies like this will put me out of business.

The one thing i will say is this movie is not viewer friendly. Example: if you get up to go to the restroom during movie you might as well not come back you will be beyond lost. It's one of those movies where you have to pay attention to every detail to follow along with the movie.

way better than watchmen and 300 imo i hated those movies with a passion.

id give it 4/5 rating
