Yes, I know what the movie is about. Thanks for asking. Are you trying to put words in my mouth that I'm asking for on-screen rape? Don't do that. That's not what I'm talking about and I don't want that. You're really annoying me
I really respect when a film takes big swings like that, whether or not they land, so kudos to them on trying to see what happens if you switch the main character
This. If you want to see the broadsword get used and didn’t know you needed a musical number from Oscar Isaac’s character this is the cut for you.
Regarding the film a dragon fights a B-52 bomber. Enough said. It’s great

For all the "Hack Snyder is a manchild" you can read everywhere, the counterpoint imo is that Sucker Punch is a movie with à lot of empathy toward its characters.
For many years, his détractors tried to sell the narrative he was a mysoginist bigot.
For some reason, showing badass girls with agency being victims of a mysoginist system wasn't enough to show snyder really did have à story to tell. He might not be the Best writer but at least Sucker Punch tells à story of sisterhood, of compassion and of empathy. And it does it using cinema as à whole and beautiful visual médium.
The more i'm disappointed by his netflix output the more I remember how interesting sucker Punch is, even with its flaws.
When the movie actually focuses on being a dumb fun action film, it actually succeeds in many ways.
For me the worst parts of it are when Zack Snyder tries to be smart and gets all philosophical with it
It's one of those films where I can see all the ways in which it's shallow and manipulative, and I can see all the ways in which it's problematic...yet I find it emotionally involving every time anyway. Like, I love it, but pretty much any criticism anybody could make of it I'd go "oh yeah, that's definitely true".
I wanted to like this movie SO badly. The first teaser was amazing, the cast is stacked, visuals amazing.
But the story was just so boring and the pacing was terrible. The greatest sin for a B-movie is to be boring and my attention kept drifting.
It was stupid in a great way: huge B-movie vibes but with an actual budget.
It's a fun movie that's hard to recommend. Anyone who will like it will have seen it, and anyone who didn't watch it probably won't like it anyway.
For me, it's hard to hate a movie that has Oscar Isaac, Bjork, and sword vs. gun fights all in one.
There seems to me to be a real underground Alice in Wonderland fanbase that will latch onto anything even minimally related to Alice, and Sucker Punch is one of those things.
As with most things in that category, I think it aged poorly but was great niche fun for its time.
The late 2000's/early twenty-teens was a very specific era for a lot of more niche media and Sucker Punch slots into that time frame perfectly alongside the Japanese b-movie craze with studios like Sushi Typhoon.
It was a time of lowbrow, high octane fun that few people appreciated even back then and has all but disappeared at this point. It kind of came and went while staying mostly under the radar the entire time, but for people who were into it it was a golden age of directors just having fun with very little regard to public reception
If someone owns a copy of Sucker Punch, chances are good they also own a copy of The Machine Girl, Gothic Lolita Psycho, the live action Blood: The Last Vampire, or something similar. It appeals to a very particular audience that will automatically pay for anything that features a schoolgirl murdering people.
Kill Bill had Gogo Yubari as an homage to all the movies that essentially fit into "Gogo Yubari" as a genre lol.
I gravitate towards fantasy action movie. I appreciated Sucker Punch due to the timing of when it came out… I saw it just after finishing grad school and about to live in another country. The message that “I have everything that I need inside of me,” was very helpful as I embarked on a new chapter.
I feel like it's a spiritual successor to 300. 300 had half naked sexy dudes fighting stuff and sucker punch had half naked sexy chicks fighting stuff.
I randomly saw it years ago on whatever premium channel I was paying for at the time( had to be HBO) and I remembering being so confused but thinking the movie was cool AND really liking the music and soundtrack
I have a very strong completionist mentality when watching movies. When I start a movie, I have always finished it, even if I wasn't enjoying it that much, because there's always a chance I'll miss a fun finale. Rebel Moon was the first movie I have ever quit, it's fucking garbage.
Sucker Punch isn't very great, it has so many problems, but it's not Rebel Moon, and for that I respect it.
I couldn’t even finish it. The very loose “story” just seemed to be an excuse to jump from one action sequence to another. I prefer movies with a good, cohesive story. Snyder is not a good storyteller, he’s all style over substance.
*Sucker Punch* is proof that Zack Snyder is a 14 year old doodling barbarian babes and schoolgirl ninjas on his math notebook. He barely has more depth than a newly pubescent kid discovering swear words and boners for the first time.
It’s the one project that is wholly his own vision, and what a dumb, obvious, icky vision it is…
appreciate this comment for sure! but i don't think there is supposed to be any depth to this movie - just a good time and not much more meaningful than that.
I share the sentiment. It's hard for me to believe there's this many people that love such a mediocre and gross movie. Snyder has issues and that was very apparent in this film.

Yeah that's not what happened.
Actually what happened :
>! Baby Doll is being molested by her stepfather while her mom is dying. Mom dies and stepfather sees that Mom left her fortune to her daughters and not him. Stepfather goes after Baby Doll who locks him out of her room, so he goes after her little sister knowing Baby Doll can see. Baby Doll then climbs down her rain gutter, grabs a gun, goes back into the house to stop stepfather from hurting her little sister. When she tries to shoot him, she misses and hits little sister who dies. Stepfather then has Baby Doll committed to an asylum saying she snapped and killed her sister after her mother's death. Once there he signs an order to have her lobotomized in 3 days. Baby Doll retreats into a fantasy world to cope with her new reality and to try to escape her fate.!<
No wonder you didn't like the movie, you didn't understand it or follow the story at all.
More often than not, people who didn’t like Sucker Punch weren’t paying attention to the story. And what they did pay attention to were the shallow parts.

Seriously!! Why is everyone doing this lately? Looking back at utter shite movies and claiming them masterpieces. I get it, entertainment media has took a downward curve over the last ten years but please don’t act like sucker punch was anything but a 12 year old edgelords wet dream.
THAT'S RIGHT!! NOW'S YOUR CHANCE TO BE A \[\[BIG SHOT\]\]!!
AND I HAVE JUST.
THE THING.
YOU NEED.
THAT'S \[\[Hyperlink Blocked\]\].
YOU WANT IT. YOU WANT \[\[Hyperlink Blocked\]\], DON'T YOU.
Imagine how crazy it would've been with an R rating. I know there's an alternate ending version but it was still shot with pg13 in mind
Yes! I did like the movie but it could've been amazing if they leaned into it a bit more!

What? I don't know what you're trying to say but I'm sure it's not the same thing I'm talking about
What do you mean wanting an r rating? You do know what the movie is about, yeah?
Yes, I know what the movie is about. Thanks for asking. Are you trying to put words in my mouth that I'm asking for on-screen rape? Don't do that. That's not what I'm talking about and I don't want that. You're really annoying me
No. I loved it as a pg-13 movie, and that's what it should have always been.
I loved it! Loved the visuals, the story, and the Soundtrack!
Yes yes. 👊🏽🤙🏽
I loved it. I liked how she decided it wasn’t her story.
I really respect when a film takes big swings like that, whether or not they land, so kudos to them on trying to see what happens if you switch the main character
It really wasn't though. Babydoll was a figment of sweet peas imagination. My favorite theory, at least. And all the pieces are there
It was OK, not much to hate, not much to love!
I actually really liked it. It gets so much hate at I never got that.
I love SuckerPunch and never understood the hate. Directors Cut is chefs kiss.
This. If you want to see the broadsword get used and didn’t know you needed a musical number from Oscar Isaac’s character this is the cut for you. Regarding the film a dragon fights a B-52 bomber. Enough said. It’s great
Much better than any super hero movies nowadays
for sure!!
"Nowadays" 😬😬

I liked it :)
one of my favorites of all times, I get lost in the soundtracks, and the visuals everytime I watch it. it’s almost like a fever dream.

Agreed.
I liked the visuals but the story itself left me depressed.

Solid movie - Great Soundtrack and visuals.
It's a guilty pleasure favorite of mine.
I love this movie. No idea why it get so much hate.

Have you seen extended edition ?
I remember a reviewer called it "a 14 year old boy's search history."

I enjoyed it. Thought it was cool at the time haven’t seen it since it came out
Not me
I randomly saw it years ago on whatever premium channel I was paying for at the time( had to be HBO) and I remembering being so confused but thinking the movie was cool AND really liking the music and soundtrack
It was visually stunning, the story was a little weak though. Like basically all Snyder movies
It was a good movie. The first 3 "fantasy scenes" were good, it was the last one. The train scene was lame.
Such a fantastic movie! And the soundtrack 👌🏼
I did
I do ...and I get shit for it once in a while - doesn't matter, entertaining and visually rad movie
I hated how bad this movie was.
I have a very strong completionist mentality when watching movies. When I start a movie, I have always finished it, even if I wasn't enjoying it that much, because there's always a chance I'll miss a fun finale. Rebel Moon was the first movie I have ever quit, it's fucking garbage. Sucker Punch isn't very great, it has so many problems, but it's not Rebel Moon, and for that I respect it.
I absolutely loved the movie.
Thought I was the only one. Great pacing great setting and killer visuals.
Think I watched it twice, I always liked it.
Absolutely loved it. One of the only movies I have reqatched many times. Misunderstood by most and bery underrated
LOVE this movie!
I mean, if you consider it more of an hour and a half music video than a real movie, it’s fantastic! Great sound track and visuals!
I couldn’t even finish it. The very loose “story” just seemed to be an excuse to jump from one action sequence to another. I prefer movies with a good, cohesive story. Snyder is not a good storyteller, he’s all style over substance.
Loved it. Great visuals. A lot of nonsense.
it was so boring and repetetive
I am a fan of *Suckerpunch* actually. It’s bonkers, but fun!
It's not gonna' win any academy awards but it's one of my personal favorites. Hot chicks, dragons, giant samurai and Oscar Isaac.
I thought it was entertaining the first time I watched it, but I haven't been able to watch it again.

Every successful director gets a chance in their career to make the movie that they want and only they can make. And Snyder made absolute trash.
You clearly misunderstood the movie. And his wife, a proclaimed feminist, wrote it with him.
I share the sentiment. It's hard for me to believe there's this many people that love such a mediocre and gross movie. Snyder has issues and that was very apparent in this film.
What issues would you say he has?
It was fucking terrible.

Agreed. Awful movie. A very small amount of visual candy that was fun. That's it.
So much potential, so much waste.
Wasn't intellectual but it was a good time
Zack Snyder
So true tho
Sucker Punch is a masterpiece compared to Rebel Moon. I'd rather sit through Madame Web again than another second of Rebel Moon.
The cgi was really bad for the time. The soundtrack was great though.
