Sucker Punch

Sweat Pee?

That's it. I want a heroine named Sweat Pee. But they have to be the most well-developed, layered, badass character ever...just to make people talk about how Sweat Pee is so great. But no abbreviating it to S.P., or else.

Typo fail.

Sweet Pea, not Sweat Pee. Wow I never noticed how close that is.

I do not want to know about what Sweat Pee is like.

I'd assume it's when you have too much sugar in your urine.

As anyone seen this review? It's hilarious.

please get out

forever

I saw it and thought, wow, now I know what it's like to be a horny teenage boy who is fused to his Xbox. Blue and the Mayor were the best characters, by far. The Mayor especially was just epic, just living the dream. Also I found the very profound voiceovers and constant slow-mo irritating. Anybody else want to see Babydoll's dance where she made people cum and cry at the same time? That takes talent.

No. No dance could be a good and Baby Doll's is supposed to be, its better to not show it and keep the mystery.

Or, you know, not show the dance because it couldn't live up how it was portrayed.

Er, isn't that basically what they said?

Must have missed the part of the movie that had the infamous fan service scene everyone whines about. Considering the movie had people forced to be strippers, they were decently covered most of the time, if there was a two piece I honestly forgot it, the robots were more memorable. Did the movie just so happen to attract people who are uncomfortable looking at other people?

Every time I watch a movie. I have to wait a week before my mind settles on a solid opinion on what movie I'm reviewing, due to the fact that fresh out of the cinema I have only two reactions to the movie I just watched "That was awesome" or "That was terrible", when I think about it the movie I deemed as "awesome" in the movie theatre could be pure crap once I think about it and the movie I deemed as "horrible" could actually be the most epic thing I've seen all year, hence, why I wouldn't post on this thread for a while.

Now that I have found some solid ground for my opinion of Sucker Punch, I can review it. Sucker Punch left me with this impression, Baby Doll's "Dream Sequences", when everything starts to fry the coke, were like being on a sugar rush while going on the most adrenaline pumping ride in a carnival made of chocolate & candy. An absolute joyride and blast that was both awesome and laughably entertaining (In the Feudal Japan scene with the Demon Samurai with a freaking minigun I was going “POW! HA HA!” “Ayadadadada” “KA-BOOM!” “CRY SOME MOAR!” “KEEP CRYING BABY!” and “OH NO THIS IS BAD!”. I also thought that the intro of how Baby Doll got to the asylum was rather interesting and very well done. Synder also gets extra points in my book for using WWI Germany instead of Nazi Germany.

However, when the Brothel scenes/Insane Asylum scenes happened I nearly fell asleep. Those scenes were so boring, bland and insipid that I felt like crying. Nothing interesting every happened in them, they didn’t flesh out the characters, the bleak setting of the brothel felt like out of place with the insane dream sequences that was the movies’ selling point and it ended rather anti-climatically, these scenes also tended to drag on for freaking ‘’ever’’ and I clearly remember while watching the movie in the theatre most of my thoughts that were running through my head in these scenes were “I wonder what the next action scene would look like?”. After pondering I feel like I’ve been cheated out of something, I came to see Sucker Punch for some insane action and most of it is boring, bleak and rather depressing. This really lowers the score on Sucker Punch. I really, ‘’really’’ want to say “Go see the movie just so you could see some insane action scenes” but those are unfortunately weighed down by the utter blandness of the Brothel/Asylum scenes that It’s just not worth the movie admission ticket for. I think this is more of a rental movie than a “Must-see in theatre” movie.

Just my two cents.

Sucker Punch is a masterpiece.

I'll leave it at that, because it's really hard for me to talk about it without getting my angry raging fanboy on.

Nobody mentioned that this comes out later this month on DVD/BD(the 28th). That was fast.

There's going to be a director's cut that's 127 minutes...because when you have something terrible, a good solution is to add seventeen minutes more of it.

Sometimes director's cuts are better because of bad editing and necessary scenes taken out of theatrical releases (executive meddling and all). However, I don' know if it will make this movie better or not.

I couldn't resist the urge to be a smartass.

The possibility is definitely there of the director's cut being an improvement.

Not everyone thinks its bad as is either.

Here's how I see it. If you actually understood the movie, you like it. If you didn't, you don't like it.

Those who understood the movie fall into two groups.

One, those who describe the movie in terms of what they thought about the movie. They will say they liked it.

Two, those who describe the movie in terms of what they think will get them laid. They will said they didn't.

There's no shame in not having understood the movie, of course. Just watch it again and pay close attention this time.

You forgot the third group that did get it and still didn't like it.

Then you're seeing it in the wrong way. Period. I find it more than a little baffling that anybody would say something like that. I'm not some ADD-riddled cretin. I gave the movie more attention than I think it deserved in retrospect, and strongly disliked it. And when it comes to what I don't like, having sex is the furthest thing from my mind—I have no idea why anyone would say something that stupid.

This is more like it.

What just...how did...what...

Mind fuck but I did indeed enjoy.

Well, I enjoyed the soundtrack and the action sequences.

Can't say I loved much else.

I do wonder what's with their names. Is it something that Blue cooked up for them for his jollies or is it in-universe nicknames for each other? Something like they're actually saying each others' real names but the film filters it as their Porno Names?

What I mean to say is that there's a difference between a sexist movie and a movie about sexism.

Some people understand that. Others fail to understand it. Others understand it, but keep ringin' the sexism bell anyway for their own nefarious purposes. If you liked it / disliked it for other reasons, I've got nothing to say. Do your own thang. But if you call this elegant masterpiece "trashy" or anything to that effect, then I'm sorry to report it flew miles over your head.

The movie was awesome.

"Sweat Pee". Greatest. Typo. Ever.
