Does 'Sucker Punch' suck?


From collider [excerpt], "The movie swims through the wet dreams of a teenage boy but pretends at higher aspirations of thoughtful escapism and transcendent determination. For a movie where dragons battle fighter jets and teenage girls in skimpy outfits take down samurai golems, Sucker Punch is a surprisingly dull and self-serious affair that can’t be bothered to develop its heroine, but wants a round of applause every time she defeats a CGI monstrosity. Despite all of the energy put into the stunning vistas and designs, nothing in Sucker Punch’s visuals comes close to the majesty of its delusions of grandeur."

Ouch. Read the full review here

I had a feeling since they've been advertising the hell out of it. Seems like when they know they have a crap film they sink tons of money into advertising trying to force feed it down our throats.

Yeah... I don't care. I'm in it for the spectacle.

Yeah, I still wanna see it too. Does that make us pathetic?

Clearly the review was written by a chick and who calls herself "Matt" to get credibility.
