I believe we can all agree that sucker punch was a terrible movie.
And while its really easy to talk about all the "bad" things about it... What was your favorite part of the movie?
Mine?
The Captain America trailer, it was all down hill after that. :P

You're a sucker if you paid money to see it.

I was lucky enough to see a clip on t.v. It looked like a SciFi channel movie that made it into theaters.
:eek

What scares me is that the director is set to head up the Superman film reboot next. :/

Visually the movie was impressive. Sonically it was atrocious. Storilinily was badily didded.
Man did I ever want it to end too. It felt like I was there forever in the IMAX theater. Taking my money and my time.

IMDB says that the director wrote the screenplay. That almost always never works.

He did, I guess he wrote it a while ago though....but still that usually doesn't end up being good.
I liked Shoot 'em up though for what it was. They basically wrote the action scenes first and threw in dialogue and a plot line later on.

what i don't get is that nolan chose him
the only hope i have for that movie is the rumor that snyder will dump his usual directing style for the movie

Suckerpunch looks awful. I mean really awful. The premise sounds kinda interesting on paper, but jesus what the hell man. I have nothing against Snyder, since Dawn Of The Dead and Watchmen were pretty good movies, but this is just the worst.

I just saw it with a few mates. It was really awful. I think it had a few good design ideas, ones that are slightly tired and overused in this day and age, however, but the acting was awful, and the story was boring and the conflict was barely there.
The worst part about it is that it was set up to me to be a film about female empowerment and, in it's own words, 'becoming your own hero', but in reality the weak and uninteresting characters spent the whole movie (apart from the 'dream' sequences) dressed as whores whilst crying and giving in to male dominance - only managing to overcome obstacles by using their sexuality.
The characters were so rubbish that two of them were killed off just so they didn't have to think up how to tie them in to the final scene. They were women who acted like little high school girls because that was half of their target audience - the other half being high school boys. No swearing or blood, but plenty of overly sexual insinuation and women consoling each other in their underwear. It was set in a whore house, but there was no outright mention of sex, as an M rating (Australian anyway) is about as high as you can go before parents start to ask questions before letting their 12 year olds see it.
I don't know if you would call it a twist at the end, as I don't know if it was meant to be one, but either way it was boring. As soon as I realised the final 'dream' action part was over, it was just a matter of waiting for it to end. The actual story dull, and the way it was played out didn't matter to me in the slightest.
Zeppelins don't fucking explode on fire when you shoot them with bullets, either.
Writing too much on a shite movie? Yes, but I literally just saw it ten minutes ago, so it's all still in my head.

I know what you mean Zhukov. It just fills you with so much anger having to sit through it. Just found out yesterday fandango triple charged me for my ticket for suckerpunch too. My eye wouldn't stop twitching because I was so angry.

Why? Snyder's an alright director. Watchmen, 300, and Dawn weren't fantastic, but they were okay.

Haven't seen Watchmen, but I liked 300. It wasn't a fantastic film, but I took it for what I thought it was; an action comic book played out on screen in an artistic way. Actually, there was one thing that annoyed me, and that was just how dull the politics and oracle sequences were; they were just filler between action.
Sucker Punch was similar, and it's not really a great way to make a good movie. So maybe Superman might suffer a same fate.
