First, let me sum up what I'm going to say. I enjoyed this film every second. When this came out in the theaters, Just about every critic review trashed it. They made this movie seem like it was the worst piece of garbage ever...
I watched it today for myself, almost reluctantly. My first thought..."What were they thinking!" This film is very deep in a bit of a more subtle approach. The story is capable of moving you, and even tugging on some of those tears you might have a problem letting go of. That's not to say this movie does not have flaws.
It's almost like watching three movies all at once. About the first third of the film is like a music video. No real dialogue, just a moving narrative given to you by motion and sound. It then moves on to the story. The action sequences are well done, and over the top. So the film does jump from drama/action/scif... I admit it can be jarring if you weren't expecting it. But...when you realize *why* these events are seen this way, you'll likely be more on board.
Some of the acting may not be the absolute best, but they give you the emotion that you want. The main character doesn't say much at all, and most times it relies on the surrounding cast to push the story. But again, the plot sums that reasoning up for you.
Do not pass up on this film. Ignore the bad reviews you may have heard.. Any person in real live that I know has enjoyed this movie. SuckerPunch is just one of those films that you have to experience for yourself.
Thank you for reading the review, I hope it helped you one way or another. Enjoy the show.
What's great about it: Visuals, compelling story, over the top action.
What's not so great: Possibly jarring artistic style / *some* weaker acting.(VERY minor.)
