'Sucker Punch' Movie Reveiw

Just came back from the theater having seen Sucker Punch and here's my two cents on it.

The film is good, with dazzling action scenes and titillating leading ladies, it's everything a nerd could ask for. You follow the tale of a girl known only as "Baby Doll" who is wrongfully committed to a mental hospital by her step father, with no one to trust aside from some of the other inmates, 'Sweet Pea', 'Rocket', 'Amber', and 'Blondie' (all of whom are very pretty girls). Together they try to find a way out of the madhouse, with every step they take being vividly imagined by 'Baby Doll' as an exciting action adventure.

     So, one drawback to this movie is the predictability, anyone who's seen enough movies can foresee the ending to this thing. However... there is a moment where all you genre savvy people will second guess yourselves "Are they in a fantasy or this part really happening?" "So is she just imagining he's like that or is that how he really is" "Was the first part the dream or is this part fake?". This is something about the movie that I really admire, they took a premise we've seen done before, then turned it against us by creating what I can only describe as "Soft Core Inception".  Some folks may just assume that the film is an exploitative action mess, with no real depth, and that it's just an excuse for guys to see a bunch of shallow sluts run amok and shoot things. This is... okay yeah, it's sort of true, but not to such a large extent. The girls are sexy, yes, but that's not all they are... okay that's a lot of who they are, but they're tough and you'll find yourself rooting for them and admiring how bad ass they are. I'd say this is a very pro girl power movie, there is really only one male protagonist to speak of and he doesn't do much fighting, the rest of the fellas are all less than gentlemanly. One could even argue that the film makes a statement about how women are treated as sex objects, when really they should be treated like the strong fighters that they really are....

aw who am I kidding, I just want to see cool explosions and some miniskirts and this film delivers. 

The action sequences are great, each one having it's own unique flavor that taps into a different genre of fantasy, my personal favorite being the one that has German zombies in WWI (this is especially unique because most people would've chosen WWII). The thing that makes these scenes so cool is how they mix the flavors of Japanese Anime and Western Action together in a special blend that satisfies all fan bases. Director, Zack Snyder, has already proven he's one of us by bringing us Frank Miller's 300, Alan Moore's Watchmen, and the 2004 remake of Dawn of the Dead, to the big screen, and now with Sucker Punch he's done it again, only this one was actually co-written by him! It's no wonder he's slated to direct the new Superman movie, this guy's got it.

Go see this movie, weather you're in it for the action or the *ahem* beautiful imagery, you wont be disappointed, and if at any point you start to start to lose track and are confused by the plot, don't worry about it, just enjoy yourself, let go. That's really what this movie is all about, letting go inside a fantasy world.  

Oh, and one more thing.... 

I give this movie four and a half school girl outfits out of five.
