Don’t let the title mislead you as the title could have a double meaning. Take hot chicks, awesome special effects, action with a soundtrack to die for, and what do you get? The Perfect Movie for Men. However, is it truly the perfect movie? Well that question is still running on my mind since I saw the movie.
Sucker Punch tells the story of a girl who is instituted in a house for mental patients after an accident that led to the death of her sister. In order for her to cope with her emotions, she must find her inner peace and freedom. To do this, she creates her own little world, in which, she becomes this super hero in search for freedom.
To simply explain my feelings, I am right now in a Love/Hate relationship with this movie. Why? I really can’t say whether I liked this movie or if I completely hated it. So in order for me to find my inner peace, I’m gonna explain why I hated it and why I loved it. You make the final judgements and the decision to see it or not.
Why I Loved it!
I loved the movie because of the hot girls (I’m a guy, so…), the action, the special effects and part of the story. The acting was superb by everyone (yes even by Vanessa Hudgens…). The special effects cannot be badly judged as they were incredible and really gave the film a complete different look and feeling. The action sequences spoke for themselves; I found myself pumped and excited in every action sequence. The soundtrack was incredibly amazing because it kept you pumped up throughout the whole movie. Finally, the Wiseman; by far the best character in the whole movie with the best lines.
Why I hated it!
I hated the movie mainly because everything was so freaking predictable. I knew how the movie was going to end right when she enters her first “fantasy world”. So I already was not liking how the movie was going to end. Second, *SPOILER ALERT!!* — The fact that you never see what happens in the real world.. is a fantasy inside of a fantasy… — *END SPOILER!!!* you never know exactly what is happening until the very end. This is technically not a bad thing, but it is annoying because you are confused by one thing: knowing how the movie will end but you are completely clueless as if the beginning of the movie was either completely pointless or some kind of fantasy that builds the story.
Overall though, it was an entertaining movie…was it the perfect movie? For some people might have been, for me… I don’t think so. Was it Awesome? Depends on your meaning of Awesome.
So there you have it. Here’s an epic scene from the movie:
Overall Rating: ?????????????/5 (because I have no clue how much it deserves.)
