Heh, You’re The Sucker

Title:  Sucker Punch

Actors/Director/Anything Worth Mentioning Right Away:  Zack Snyder directs a bunch of girls.

Introduction:  I got this movie from the library and luckily didn’t go see it in theaters.

Location:  In the mind of someone who seems an awful lot like Amanda Seyfried but is not.

Plot:  This movie is strange.   It has a plot that isn’t overly complex, it’s rather easy to follow, but at the same time, it’s not easy to explain.   It’s about the differences between the realities and dream worlds of several characters.   But does it even matter what they’re doing, when most of this movie is so hard to watch it makes you wonder how Zack Snyder ever directed it?

Acting:  You know, it’s Jena Malone and some other girls.   Do the math.

Production:   It was in theaters and has what appear to be big budget scenes and all, so, yeah.

Sex/Nudity:  Not nearly as much as you would think.

Special Effects:  Again, they are big budget and quite appealing, but there needs to be more to this movie than just show.

Overall Verdict:  The biggest point you need to take away from this movie is something said in Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back:  “Because we’re walking, talking bad girl clichés”.   That pretty much sums up the why of this movie.   And while it is visually all right to look at sometimes (Which is more for the special effects than probably the intended reason) the biggest thing that also stands out for me happens to be the music.  If this had any other soundtrack to it, or just a normal score, I think it would have lost a lot and I wouldn’t have made it all the way through.    My ability to make it all the way through was based merely on the music and some of the action scenes, though sadly, a good movie that does not necessarily make.
