Review of by Merick — 26 Mar 2011

After the long wait has come to the cinema what promises to be one of the best films this year, for over a year we know of its existence but it was only 5 months ago that the advertising campaign began to get acquainted.

First of all I would like to clarify a point and that you as readers deserve the full and not only the prejudices of the server that review, I say this because, well because after reading several "reviews" saw only the prejudices of the "experts" on film saying the film was based purely on the special effects which is totally false and that there be no doubt uphold my point.

Sucker Punch puts us in the history of Babydoll (Emily Browning), a young woman who after losing her mother is hospitalized in a psychiatric hospital by her stepfather (Gerard Plunkett), the place is under the control of Dr. Vera Gorski (Carla Gugino), a psychologist who tries to help the young and the head of stretcher Blue Jones (Oscar Isaac) who does the dirty on psychiatric treatment.

There he meets Sweet Pea (Abbie Cornish), Rocket (Jena Malone), Amber (Jamie Chung) and Blondie (Vanessa Hudgens) who are also "orphan"and convinces them to find a way out, of course the girls are afraid to be discovered but after analyzing the circumstances in which they are and that their situation is not truly called to live decide helping Babydoll.

To get your free 5 things should get a map, fire, a knife, a wrench and something unknown, while getting everything the viewer is transported to different dimensions of reality as a brothel, a Medieval fortress, a Shinto temple, a Bullet train and even a battle of the Second World War.

Not delve much into history and it would take the joke going to the movies, but I can assure you that the story is deeper than it appears you can see, a council is to observe the small details as these give us clues of how it could finish the story.

There are many symbols and some of its meaning is implied by the connotation that we give to the first, take nothing for granted this would be a mistake as there are times when it seems that the narrative is rather short but if you look at previous scenes will all is there (later I will explain why this happens), Zack Snyder is hard to tell his story so that forced us to examine part of what happens or they say the characters.

The battles are the best ever seen, then applied the phrase "Not because you are a woman I will have compassion" in comparison to other films where it looks for female characters are "hard" Sucker Punch takes it to another level making the players are really confident during the battle and that the blows that tips them look real, which many appreciate.

One thing to note is that the sequences are professionals, I mean, actresses had to train for 3 months - 8 hours per day in order to achieve the sequences as the director wanted, they suggested not only make the style "pretend as I hit you "but really learn how to perform the movements and how to use weapons, something that I personally see it as an extra in the film.

The set design is very good, as I said before the film transports us to different dimensions and of course each has very specific features from climate to architecture, all these dimensions we also offer a particular story as we have seen in the animated shorts are not only locations where the heroes fight each of these worlds has a story behind it.

Attire is "subtle" but very appropriate to emphasize that decade the main story is set in addition to the girls'dressing rooms to please even the most demanding and the girls will give you some ideas.

Music is a good point in the movie because they look a little more scenes and helps to "highlight" certain points in history, especially when Babydoll was concentrated to enter their worlds.

The flaw I see him, in my opinion, is the issue because there are parts in the sequences where you can see a few seconds to cut scenes but nothing to reduce the experience of this is that to get the PG -13 had to cut 18 minutes of film as well as 3 scenes (including a love scene of Emily Browning) complete the film because he was rated R, as a consolation actresses have confirmed that contain Blu-ray plus the extended version a surprise.

Photography in the film is also important because the plans which show the actresses are very very good and this also affects other aspect is the makeup that is quite appropriate to highlight the features of the actresses and actors support.

To complete the film's central message is something that we often overlook in life, the last sentences of the film give us a lesson or are we becoming more clear what we already know, besides showing us one of the best sides the human being. I think this part is that they forgot all the "experts"in their reviews and wanted to be "professional" and criticize just to criticize without analyzing the context.

One of my recommendations for this weekend whether or not action movie lovers.
