I don't really know what to make of Sucker Punch. I certainly don't hate it, but it certainly wasn't anywhere near as entertaining as I hoped it would be. The action sequences were masterfully executed and brilliantly presented, but the only one which got any real exploration whatsoever was the World War I sequence. By far the coolest dreamworld of the four was the far-future cyberpunk colony on Titan, but it got even less characterisation than the dragon-slaying Mordor world. We only got to see about thirty seconds of the city, which was probably the coolest-looking thing in the film. What it felt like was a series of exceptionally entertaining music videos connected by a very weak plot. The Gainax Ending didn't really add or resolve anything. Zack Snyder is a very good director, but not a good storyteller.
It's... definitely a movie
