March 25th 2011:
What do evil step dads, giant samurais, undead steam-punk Nazis, orphan whores, dragons, killer robots and lobotomies all have in common?Don't expect Sucker Punch to answer that question. And honestly, is that really a question that needs asking, let alone answering?
An incoherent, plotless foray into a world suited only for the most vapid of teenage minds, Sucker Punch managed to borrow from a half dozen other movies (Inception, Shutter Island, Girl Interrupted, the Matrix, Sin City to name a few) and pack every wanna-be-hipster-geek element into what basically amounted to crappy a two hour music video.
The only thing I got out of watching this movie was that writer/director Zack Snyder LOVES the slow-mo action scene (yeah, that never gets monotonous... yawn) and has a fetish for hot young things in slutty school girl/sailor girl outfits.
There was a sad attempt to provide some sort of a point via a flaccid voice over at the end of the flick, but it just left me asking one question... who wants their two hours back?
Me!
