Sucker Punch was not exactly what I was expecting. It’s been quite a while since I last followed the movie scene. When I put the scene on hold, this movie was just about finished with production and the first trailer had made it’s debut. So, where I was expecting this awesome action packed fem team movie, and found something just on the other side of “One Flew Over the CooCoo’s Nest”, I was shocked and disappointed. This movie actually falls under my “watch once” list. I found the soundtrack more appealing than the movie itself. Which is pretty bad. If it wasn’t for the fact that once I start to watch something, I will at least finish it….then I would’ve stopped watching it after the first 5-10 minutes.
I’m sure there will be some people who enjoy it, so let me say that I won’t slam it, BUT I will say that I won’t be seeing it again…ever. I actually found the bits that tapped from “One Flew Over the CooCoo’s Nest” where actually in bad taste, and that mixing that with the worlds inside Blondie’s head made this film feel like something that should’ve been left on the drawing board. The thing that really annoyed me was that it involved bouncing between the real world, the world inside her head, and the world that was inside the head of herself in was inside the world in her head. Yeah…The only way to describe it would be to imagine dreaming that your waking up from a dream, only to wake up again to the real world but wondering if that’s not a dream as well. It was bad enough the give me a headache. I’m definitely not saying it was hard to follow, but it just makes a mess of everything when keeping track of 3 different situations that are actually taking place in the real world but are being portrayed by the events that are being shown from the worlds in her head.
Whew…Enough of that. Good luck if you watch it. I’ll update with the usual purchase links later.
