Sucker Punch has an awesome look and feel to it. The soundtrack is filled with great cover songs that set exactly the right mood whenever needed. The opening scene is one of the best I have seen to get me excited right off the beat, and it is followed by many more; all visually stunning and dreamy. It's definitely a one-to-watch in my book. And yes, as the tagline says: "You Will Be Unprepared".

A spectacular failure. Snyder clearly cannot do narrative and should have had this script doctored - this could have been a Matrix or a Fight Club in the right hands. Still, the visuals are worth the price of admission alone, and as Baby Doll battled her way past giant Samurai, cyber-steam zombie Germans, orcs, dragons and robots my mouth hung open in amazement. Your best bet is to not even bother to try to make sense of it.

overall totally stupid and makes no sense but CGI is at its very very very best, wonderful fight scenes

One more awful "Sweet Dreams" cover and there'll be murder, I tell ya!

All this had going for it are hot women (I love Carla Gugino and I learned that it's a lot of fun to watch Jena Malone shoot guns) and a few neat looking things, otherwise it's a moronic bunch of crap.

No.

C'mon son, it's a satire! The Funny Games of badass grrl action movies. It takes the zombies, robots, kitanas, and exploitative misogyny nerds clamor for and rubs their noses in it.

The film revels in excess whereas truly fulfilling fantasy films of similar themes find balance between distinctive visual stylization and narrative scope, benefiting, as superior works do, from filmmakers with more on their mind than gimmicks and fetish (see Crank 2: High Voltage, Resident Evil: Afterlife and Scott Pilgrim vs. the World). So the prevailing message of Sucker Punch's failure -- like that of its maker's whole career -- is that wanting to do something is not the same as doing it.

Well, Vanessa Hudgens was cool. And the action in that WW I sequence was pretty awesome. Other than that...I don't really wanna talk about it. :(

...No. I can see what Snyder is going for, essentially delivering video game porn only to call out people for wanting to watch video game porn, but David Lynch or even Aronofsky he's not. Impressive visuals, nice crossreferencing, but if you're going to do what's essentially American McGee's Alice meets Brazil you might want to add something of your own as well or I might as well watch Brazil again.

the acting and plot are terrible, but the CGI and general visuals are somewhat redeeming.

I know I'm supposed to like this being male and all, but I really didn't. What a piece of junk. Beautiful junk, but junk none the less.

Barely coherent. I understood the subtext re: feminism etc, but for crying out loud this movie was nothing but a group of pretty action sequences strung loosely together.

For a movie composed of scantily clad women it sure was gay and not in that lesbian prison movie way. Snyder usually has fantastic opening credit sequences and THERE WASNT ONE IN THIS, BOO BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO.

One of the most memorable movies I've ever seen. Not amazingly good, but definitely will stick with you, and to me demands a re-watch. I saw it as a lot more than "girls in skirts."

Soundtrack ist gut, Bilder sind echt toll, Story ist solala. Ich finde man hat versucht zu viel zu machen, Irrenhaus, Bordell und Fantasywelten in einem Film ist etwas gewöhnungsbedürftig. Ansonsten war der Film eigentlich nicht so schlecht wie ich befürchtet hätte.

One of the worst movies ever made

On the one hand it feels hollow and insubstantial - the story is a sketched-on teenage afterthought scribbled around some unrelated music-video-style action sequences. However, if you can put expectations aside, these spectacular sequences have enough visual flair, CGI and greenscreen camera-rotating trickery to happily entertain an idle mind for 90 minutes. It's so clearly the work of a literary midget but a technical giant. I'll forgive Snyder his sins and call this some kind of flawed fun.

I feel genuinely sorry for myself to have watched this vile piece of stinking trash. Wasted two hours of my life on this fucking movie. You suck, Snyder.

While the story is surprisingly elegant, the visuals are astonishing and the soundtrack is at times wonderful (first fight scene!), the characters are terribly flat and unbelievable. Still a very enjoyable film.

It has plenty of style, eye candy and decent action but it's clearly a victim of studio butchering...I hope?

Style over substance really isn't necessarily bad, as long as the creator is aware it can be owned. But this movie tried too hard to have substance (and failed) which sank it to a level of annoyance and caused the style to get old very quickly. But the few things it has going for it, the first 15 minutes of the admittedly very cool not-yet-old style, the soundtrack, Jena Malone, and the train scene, it's just enough for me not to regret the one time view.

I really wanted to like this movie.

Damn, the beginning was cool, but the rest of this movie was all about girls with swords and guns + awesome cgi graphic action. The story was very silly, until I was pleasantly surprised by the ending. LOVED the ending. :)

36.000

The textbook definition of "all style, no substance." Choreography was pretty nice, visuals were impressive, plot was absent.

A good story, but horrible action. You might think it should be the other way around, that a flimsy story is used to sell action scenes. But I rather liked the story, with it's philosophical themes of life achievement and direction in life, at least until it fell on it's face later in the movie. No, what bothers me much more is that they have an excuse for decent action, and it's so lacklustre; the settings are gorgeous, yet the action is so predictable and bland. Ugh, so dissapointed.

Too much SFX, retarded story, poor choice of music, not exciting, .. Why Snyder? Why?

it's like rock'n'roll to the eyes!

Wat.

As others already said, either you'll like this movie or you'll hate it. For me, watching Sucker Punch feels a bit like being trapped in the brain of a pubescent boy with the appearance of: hot girls in short skirts, samurai warriors with guns, zombie-steampunk soldiers, dragons and robots. To wrap things up and as a silly excuse everything is a (caution: spoiler!) dream %u2013 not really original. In combination with a mediocre soundtrack and CGI effects this was a waste of precious lifetime.
