Re: Sucker Punch
Well I've figured it out.
I've spent the last hour reading horrible review after horrible review given to this film. Some are calling this Zach Snyder's (director) career suicide...but I most certainly believe that these critics have gotten this all very wrong. In a technical "traditional" sense, this movie sucks, which is also where it absolutely shines. This movie is not traditional by any means, it touches base with every person who's ever played a video game. It envelopes you in a complete fantasy world where laws of physics and realism don't apply.
This movie was MADE for the geek/gamer/dreamer...and considering how absolutely massive the gaming community is in today's society, this film is going to absolutely shine like no other. Think about it...how many hours have you put into games like Grand Theft Auto? Can you tell me about the storyline? Probably not, you just know the game is awesome. This movie is pretty much a "sandbox" type movie, where you do what you want, yeah the story is there, but you'd much rather just blow shit up in the most fantastical and ridiculous ways possible.
So if you've ever been the type of person to immerse yourself in a video game of pretty much any sort, this movie is for you. If you're a film buff who enjoys being technically correct with camera shots and hyper in-depth storytelling. Skip this one.
My two cents.
