Watching Sucker Punch is like watching a friend you don't really like play a videogame for two hours. Making things worse is the stranger sat between you both aggressively wanking over his iPod full of shit reworkings of your favourite songs.
Sucker Punch is not only as bad as you've heard, it's worse.
I was told beforehand that this was a love it or hate it film and that there was no in between, and it's easy to see why that is. Personally, I don't agree with any of the negative reviews, so it turns out that I'm one of the few that love it.
Firstly, I don't understand why many of the reviews I have read go on about the huge emphasis on rape for. This is what put me off at first, but there are much worse films out there that people still love.
There is a focus, yes, but nothing is ever shown, if it even happens at all, as it is all implied rather than stated and seen. From…
this movie has it all. hot girls good music disgusting men and stupid metaphors. amazing
62/100
Female empowerment as a fantastical glimmer of sci-fi trash and neopunk junk food. Its opening sequence is a little masterpiece in and of itself, using lightning as footnotes and shattering bulbs as a physical act of attempted liberation. It's too bad that the rest of this strange creation isn't as visionary as it wants to be, but I continue to get lost in every CGI-addled frame; a cheap and unwavering movie making power that Snyder utilizes to fulfill his dreams and expanses. Zombie soldiers, techno robots, and a big-ass dragon are only toppings in this overly massive action sundae. Pass the syrup.
By far my favorite Zack Snyder movie, and the one that he seemed the most personally invested in, this large-scale CGI multiplex quasi- YA exploitation flick is really and truly bonkers. Sort of like if Mamoru Oshii's live action video-game movies were crossed with goth 60's snakepit sleaze and made for a mass audience. Almost like a Jodorowsky movie if it was made on a Playstation 2. The fact that this can be read as a 'small, personal' film in this director's filmography is insane. Truly one-of-a-kind.
This is a film about the het/cis male gaze from the het/cis male perspective, about ensnaring it, overloading it, making it ridiculous, frustrating it, denying it, exploding its contradictions, getting it lost forever…
just didn’t vibe with a movie that takes a group of young women forcibly put in an asylum and sexually assaulted and forced into sex work being also used for a Cool Sexy Fantasy where they are Badass But Still Sexy. The fight scenes made up of heavy male gaze don’t work for me when the fights are being used to represent those women being forced to dance for men against their will.
Idk I just don’t think the “sexy” fighting scenes are okay when the context of this movie centers around a group of abused women. It just didn’t handle these themes with any kind of empathy or grace.
How the fuck did Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow destroy Kerry Conran's career, but this piece of shit landed Zack Snyder the Superman reboot?
Zack Snyder's Rob Zombie's Halloween II
& yes, take that as you will of course, haha.
