    of course it does!
    its all in her imagination - every time she dances she goes off into another 'world' to do the mission in that 'world' - even though shes already in another 'world' waiting for her lobotomy...... its a bit like Inception I suppose

    I think it makes for great special effects, fight scenes, girls in costume and gungasm but there are too many plot holes for me in this flick

    Yeah, if you just accept it as eye candy it's pretty damn awesome. If you try to bring it to the whole Sin City/Girl Interrupted level it fails.

    Why are you trying to elevate it. Take it for what it is...hot girls...with guns...kicking much *kitten*...and looking good doing it---kicking *kitten*, that is.

    actually I believe the problem that most people have with it is that the DIRECTOR tried to elevate it and all it did was make it confusing and uncomfortable - if it had been purely what you are describing everyone would like it.

    OP - I haven't seen it but I love the way it looks visually.

    I don't actually recall the specifics of why I thought this at the time, but I recall thinking that the plot was disjointed and patchy in parts. It was pretty and all, but just not very impressive or really that interesting if we take the visuals out of it.

    I think of it as a 2 out of 5 stars. Possibly 3 if I were drunk.

    Sucker Punch was ok. I think I was expecting a bit more from it in the story. I would not say that I hated it, but I would not go out of my way to see it again.

    I really disliked it to be honest. I understood it was all in her imagination, but it still didn't make the stories make any sense.

    I was super psyched for this movie to come out based solely on the visuals...


    ... and then was sadly disappointed at the end result. I think visually it was still beautiful- I just wished there was more "movie" to it :ohwell:

    I too, loved this movie- as a rpg-er it was full of set pieces wrapped round a twist turny plot and you got to the end and had to re think all your pre conceived ideas because the heroine of the movie wasn't the one you thought it was!
    Absolutely excellent!

    I would have felt compelled to like it anyway since the crazy femenists who never saw it were so up in arms. Honestly, the number of people who told me I should be offended _as a woman_. Because when I watch a film I can't do so as a rational human being, obviously. I have to watch it _as a woman_. Eyeroll.

    Sucker Punch is fantastic! Visual brilliance and one hell of a soundtrack. I am a fan.

    I treat it like an hour long filmclip, and on that front it's fricken amazing. I am a Snyder apologist, though, and pretty much immediately love everything he does.

    Well, pretty much both sides of the story have been said. Visually it was amazing, story-wise it was full of plot holes, but in the end all it was, was a feast for the eyes and the imagination. Take it how you will.

    All I wish to take from that movie is how did she dance and why was everyone offended when she did?
