Review of Sucker Punch

Sucker Punch (2011)
10/10
I don't understand the hatred of this movie
29 June 2011
When I go to see a movie I usually avoid reading any reviews beforehand. So after I left the theater I couldn't believe how low this movie was scoring on some of these "well respected" critics sites. As a fan of most films I've come to understand that critics tend to either love a movie like this or hate it but it seems that it was mostly hatred that I was seeing. To me this film was a great original idea that you have to see more then once to completely enjoy this great piece or work that Zach Snyder has made.

When a movie can stick everything from samurai's, nazi zombies, dragons and more into a plot then it has already accomplished something. However beyond the CGI that is mostly back round to the plot. The plot is a little complicated but that's a good thing since it makes you think.

One of the great things about this movie is that it keeps you guessing and doesn't give up until the credits start rolling. The performances from this young cast is spectacular, Emily Browning's role in particular is more difficult then it seems but she accomplishes it in a great way.

I don't understand why this movie was so denounced by critics and I don't really care to tell you the truth because it's viewers like you and me that know what we like to watch and what kind movies are entertaining. This movie will end up like other movies in the past like Donnie Darko and others that became cult classics.
