Review of Sucker Punch (2011) by Mike S — 19 Jul 2013

Cool on the surface, but all hollow on the inside. In a visual and auditory sense, this movie is pure candy. Baby Doll's imagination invites us to a spectacular fantasy world - home to dragons, robots, giant samurais and explosive battles.

And with a cast that includes so many gorgeous girls (Jamie Chung is smoking!) the eye does not go wanting. Your brain, however, will. For somewhere along the way, Zack Snyder forgot to tend to the story.

Not that the script is terrible, but beyond its visual delights, the film doesn't have much to offer. An entertaining watch, but I can't help but feel let down by this otherwise brilliant director.
