Review of Sucker Punch (2011) by Yogibbear — 06 Apr 2011
Great movie. REALLY hard to write a review for it without spoiling everything. But anyway... do NOT be fooled. This is a serious movie and a thinking movie despite its first appearances. Yes the visual are awesome, the soundtrack is awesome, the hot girls are awesome, the steam-powered zombie nazis are awesome, the samurai warrior opening fight scene is awesome.
The most important part about this film is it ends with something that you will want to talk about, argue about and discuss as it's actually quite a smart film that plays off both the reality of sexual abuse in 1950's mental asylums and what the mind can do to deal with such situations.
However saying ANY MORE will reduce your enjoyment of this movie. Just don't go in expecting 300 with chicks. This has more in common with an episode off the Twilight Zone than 300 (aside's from Snyder's son) and because of this I thoroughly enjoyed it.
However I'm very interested in what was left out and will be picking up the Director's Cut DVD (R-rated) release as soon as it comes out to clarify the 2 distinct endings that I am left contemplating.
