My fav Sucker Punch review: �Snyder has described it as �Alice In Wonderland with machine guns,� but it�s more like The Pussycat Dolls Present...

Posted by MDH (aka MDH) Mar 25 '11, 09:58

�Snyder has described it as �Alice In Wonderland with machine guns,� but it�s more like The Pussycat Dolls Present Steampunk Kill Bill, only more assaultive and pandering than that description suggests.� -Onion A/V Club

Other Highlights:

�Hands-down the most nightmarishly awful film of the year.� -Philadelphia Inquirer

�Zack Snyder must have known in preproduction that his greasy collection of near-rape fantasies and violent revenge scenarios disguised as a female-empowerment fairy tale wasn�t going to satisfy anyone but himself. [...] A salacious mess, 0 stars.� -Michael Phillips, Chicago Trib

�An unerotic unthrilling erotic thriller in the video game/comic book crossover vein, �Sucker Punch� is � �Last Airbender� with bustiers.� -Orlando Sentinel

�300 was interesting, Watchman was bearable, Legend of the Guardians: The Owls of Ga�Hoole was ridiculous, but Sucker Punch is just sad. Like his porcelain heroine, anyone who willingly spends $13 for a ticket to this smut is willfully lobotomizing themselves.� -NY Press (but not Armond White?! for shame!)

�Just what kind of gyrations is Babydoll doing to effect such awe and conjure such imaginary garbage? Is it like Beyonce�s �Single Ladies� dance? Because that was pretty powerful.� -Jake Coyle, AP

�Just one big hypersexed slo-mo misfire.� -Movieline

- What's the addy? -- nm - J Mar 25, 10:16 2
  - We're not quite "open." I'll certainly be pushing it when we are. We're aiming for the laughable April 1st opening day. -- nm - Qale Mar 25, 10:18 1
    - ok cool -- nm - J Mar 25, 10:23

    - So true. -- nm - MDH Mar 25, 10:17
- Yeah, Massawyrm is the only AICN reviewers I still look for and he wailed on it. "Career suicide" for Synder. - Name Withheld By Request Mar 25, 10:10 5
  - Warners his giving him $175 million of rope right now for the new Superman -- nm - moles Mar 25, 10:16
  - That's not why no studio will give him rope and we won't know that for a week or so. - Will Hunting Mar 25, 10:13 3
    - And now, your nominees for Best Picture of 2011... -- nm - The Academy Mar 25, 10:30
    - Right. Everyone dumped on Burton for Alice in Wonderland - but he made Disney a BILLION dollars. -- nm - Reagen Mar 25, 10:15 1
      - Couple things make it a bad comparison. Burton's career vs. Synder's. The source material head start. - Name Withheld By Request Mar 25, 10:28
- I can't until this is on netflix now. -- nm - MDH Mar 25, 10:09 3
  - This is obviously a 'watch drunk with friends' movie -- nm - ty97 Mar 25, 10:09 2
    - Yep. Mystery Science Theatre it up. -- nm - Name Withheld By Request Mar 25, 10:10 1
      - Doing this at Burlesque in theaters with 20 gays was one of the best movie going experiences I've had. And Cher found out we went. - MDH Mar 25, 10:12
Still going! :) -- nm - Dr.Vermin Mar 25, 10:02
aw. still going tomorrow though. -- nm - Diva Mar 25, 10:01
so disappointed -- nm - decline Mar 25, 10:00
From A.O. Scott in NYT (thanks to PosterBoy for the quote) - ty97 Mar 25, 10:00 5
- Hmmm. Maybe Spawn and Remik could just act it out with Bratz dolls. -- nm - Amy Mar 25, 10:04 2
  - use the code words, amy: "Heroclix" -- nm - moles Mar 25, 10:06
  - *buys full-price admission ticket.* -- nm - amanda jones, transitarian Mar 25, 10:06
- This wins. Love it. -- nm - MDH Mar 25, 10:01
- that's great -- nm - prayformojo Mar 25, 10:01
let's just go with "shit meets shit" -- nm - moles Mar 25, 09:59 2
- "Watchmen" was unbearable to me, and "Sucker Punch's" trailers haven't done anything for me. It looks like nerd pron in a movie. -- nm - MDH Mar 25, 10:01
- "Solid gold shit, maestro." -- nm - Don Homer Mar 25, 10:00
