Sucker Punch...first time.
When I heard that garbage cover of The Pixies, I was almost done (and that was 10 min in).
If they would've said this was from the director of
Jennifer's Body, I'd be looking out for whatever else she was working on next, but this is Zach Snyder... Same dude who was a couple castings away from making
Watchmen work?
Is he M. Night with special effects? And they gave him
Superman?
I think he thinks he's Tarantino or Scorcese with his music choices. But they just sound random, forced and wrong.
It was more disappointing than I thought it'd be. I mean I heard about the bad dialogue and it being a really sexist failure at feminism, but...I thought the action would save it, at least make parts of it cool like Matrix Reloaded...nope. In Kill Bill that Crazy 88s fight was ridiculous, but they grounded it, gave it rules and made it real enough. Even Scott Pilgrim, found a common ground. There's nothing grounded here. It's just random abstract fights.
This...really badly wants to be a bad-@$! Pan's Labyrinth, where the line between what's real and imagined keep you guessing until the end. Don't watch this, watch that instead, because the real world with the Spanish Civil War and the fantasy with that dark fairytale both work. Nothing in this does and even the cg stuff, looks well done, but boring. There's a scene where people are crying and you won't understand why no one can act, except Carla Gugino.
Funny thing...the last 10 minutes are real good. It's like Smokin Aces, where they're a great way of ending a different and better movie you didn't just see. They hurt, because for the first time in the movie, you can imagine what a good Sucker Punch could've been.
