Sucker Punch

If you don't take it so seriously, Sucker Punch isn't all that bad. Some of the fight sequences were actually pretty badass. I really liked the first one in particular. I mean, there I was watching a movie about a girl being sent to an insane asylum by her wicked stepfather when all of a sudden... BAM! Crazy fight sequence with said girl pitted against three giant, kinda terrifying, Samurai robot monsters! (I guess that's why it's called Sucker Punch?) And yes, I saw the trailers. Yes, I knew what was coming. But it was still totally shocking when that first fight actually happened.

But of course it has its flaws: The story is very... simple, to be polite. The dialogue is mediocre. The acting is adequate. And as for the music, I wish they would have used the original versions of The Pixies' and Iggy Pop's legendary songs instead of cheesy covers.

All in all, hokey? Yes. Terrible movie? No.
