A Modern Classic with Visual Feast

Genius, allegorical and a modern classic – Sucker Punch is probably the most underrated film of the year with a superb cast, spectacular visuals, innovative direction and a mesmerizing story. It’s basically a complete Zack Snyder film; you can see his signature in every scene.
If I describe the plot as it will act as a spoiler; so I am not going to explain the story but will give you a small glimpse.
When a girl, Baby Doll, committed to the asylum by her greedy step father, she has to survive the hellish surroundings and has to escape with the help of her new pals before being lobotomized. The Guardian called Sucker Punch, “…a pervert’s Inception”, I disagree, it is the same mistake people would make (a lot of them made) when they see the poster and judge it as a “babe movie”.

You can classify this visual and musical feast into anything, thriller, fantasy, musical, action, sci-fi, horror, drama, ballad…you name it. Scott Glenn is perfect as the wise sage and commander, Emily Browning, Abbie Cornish, Jena Malone, Oscar Isaac and Carla Gugino (the girl from the Bon Jovi song Always) all blazed the movie with passion and zeal.
This movie is amazing, no matter what others say, judge it yourself.
Extra content for the DVD and Blu-ray
Animated shorts of Feudal Warriors (Samurai story), The Trenches (Nazi Zombies story), Dragon, and Distant Planet. (These are short animation episodes are based on Sucker Punch, which can be viewed as prequels to the stories in Baby Dolls alternative realities.)

Behind the Soundtrack
In the Extended Cut - Exploring the Fantasy World, which also add 18 minutes to the film.

blend of art and action not for everyone but is exceptionally good

I seem to be one of the few who liked this movie but I stand by it. It is more thoughtful than a typical action flick and more spectacular than an art film. I can see why it might put people off. Action people want simple while art people want quiet. Sucker Punch is neither. It operates on three levels of reality. I found it clear but if you don't pay attention you miss key plot points. To get the most of this movie you cannot turn your brain off. It is a raucous ride and if you don't go with it you miss out. I really liked this movie. I highly recommend it full well knowing it will only appeal to smart action movie fans.

Sucker Punch

Produced, Written and Directed by Zack Snyder, Sucker Punch starts out with a young girl (Emily Browning) and her younger sister learning of the death of their mother and dreading the fact that their Step Father will now be in charge of the household. Only things do not go as planned and "babydoll" (Emily) is sent away to an asylum for the criminally insane. While there she is sent on a wild journey of discovery as she tries to find a way out.

This is a bazaar movie that is part movie and part video game. The lead characters continually find themselves in fights to the death with impossible forces in a dream world.

The movie also stars: Abbie Cornish as Sweet Pea, Jena Malone as Rocket, Vanessa Hudgens as Blondie, , Jamie Chung as Amber, Carla Gugino as Madame Vera Gorski/Dr. Vera Gorski, Oscar Isaac as Blue Jones, Jon Hamm as the Doctor/The High Roller, Scott Glenn as The Wise Man/The General/The Bus Driver, and Gerard Plunkett as The Stepfather/Priest

Below par acting and story make this a movie that is probably better rented than purchased.

Climb in the head of teenagers breaking free and you get SUCKER PUNCH

Attention movie lovers, there are bleeding hearts out there dirtying this film.
I am a movie collector and a serious critic of bad flicks but this one ain't it. I have read other reviews on ebay and in the papers and saw many people criticizing the movie by depicting it as low as a close kiddie porn piece.

Come on!! Those must be women that do not get any candy in life because this film is nothing else but a showpiece for women taking charge. Of course, it is lead by sweet gorgeous young girls and it is sexy as hell but this is just the honesty it needs to really show what might be going on in the head of a powerless and abused teenager girl. If I had my way, I would do this... and here is the movie is really all about. Women in charge breaking loose in full handle of their sensuality. Nothing dirty in there but raw action.

Yes, it is edited as a string of videoclips. The action of the movie is situated in a dream within a dream in the final seconds of a terrible faith. Computer game style is perfect for that theme.

The sequence over Jefferson Airplane's WHITE RABBIT is just awesome and incredible.

Emily Browning and the girls are just plain foxes kicking butt to samourais and German Nazis. Quick some scenes.

And the punch will blow you away!! Straight A movie.
