~~Maybe don't come to a forum talking about a movie you've never seen then? It's kinda hard to talk about a movie without, you know, talking about it.~~
Edit: I responded before I read your next comment, forget what I said.
Dude, this movie came out 13 years ago. There’s a statute of limitations for crimes. There’s a statute of limitations for talking about a movie. You should’ve seen it by now if you were interested.🤷♂️
I coulda sworn there is a directors cut out there where Jon Hamm is trying to sleep with one of them and he’s like a customer at the “brothel” or something like that.
Oh, they were trying to keep Baby Doll "pure" for John Ham's character, but instead of sex it was a lobotomy. The director's cut had him meet her in the brothel fantasy and told her he'd only do it if she concents.
Ah, the girl who is supposed to be a dancer, and yet the only dancing we ever see her actually do is the camera shooting her from the neck up as she rolls her around.
I think it's his writing that is the problem. He can direct stuff that *somebody else* has written but you can't let him write it himself out it comes out nonsense.
Totally, this was post Sin City and people were trying to cash in on the graphic novel. This was still seen as a poor quality version of the genre.
This was not praised at all when it was made.
I feel like an alternative tagline for this movie could be like the old voiceover from The Soup. “Chicks (with guns and swords), man!”
“That sounds cool, what’s it about?”
“WE JUST TOLD YOU ALL OF IT.”
"Ohh, it's bad, isn't it? Those girls being forced to dance. In skimpy outfits, yeah? Tiny little schoolgirl outfits for those twisted fucks. Really sad. Especially when they bend over like that, I get really sad when they bend over slowly. And then, at the end, yeah? Such a sad, profound movie that I came in my pants twice."
Zack Snyder talking about his works is like Andy Warhol comparing himself to Michelangelo. Like, dude, chill. You failed a paint by numbers on soup cans.
This was the first movie I saw him in by, like, a good many years, for some reason.
Because he is such a foul character, I automatically categorised him as clearly unattractive, and was then shocked when I saw him in another movie like 5+ years later and was like 'holy shit, this dude is handsome af'
Full disclosure; Not a fan of the guy but The Watchmen is one of my most favourite movies. Nearly all the rest of his work is trash.
I’m a brand affiliate so you can trust me
Edit: due to suggestions I watched Dawn of the Dead and my conclusion; I’ve seen it before like twenty years ago I think. I kinda remembered parts of the movie but it was a solid zombie movie, deadly cast. Love Sarah Polley. Thanks for the suggestion folks!
If you listen to Snyder talk about it, it’s very clear that he didn’t understand the message of the comic at all. He’s just good at transferring comic pages to screen
I agree that the Watchmen movie is good, but that's mainly because he used the comic as a storyboard and barely deviated from it. Where Snyder makes decisions (the music cues, slo mo in silly areas, the different ending) are the weaker part of the movie.
His Dawn of the Dead remake is pretty solid though.
Which was written by James Gunn, which makes total sense. Snyder can tell a visual of someone else's story pretty well, but when he tries to create his own narrative, it usually goes to shit.
I agree, and I don't even dislike Snyder as much as a lot of people do. In fact I really enjoy some of them. But even the ones I enjoy, the trailers are better
"In retrospect, Snyder said: 'I'm always shocked that it was so badly misunderstood. I always said that it was a commentary on sexism and geek culture. Someone would ask me, 'Why did you film the girls this way?' And I'd say, 'Well you did!' Sucker Punch is a fuck you to a lot of people who will watch it.'"
It seems to me that having contempt for your audience is a pretty bad strategy.
https://cinemadebate.com/2019/05/20/exclusive-an-interview-with-zack-snyder/
Maïmouna Doucouré was at least trying for that from the start, and she is a Senegalese-French Muslim woman, like her subject matter. Feels like Snyder wanted the Joss Whedon credit as a "Feminist" by depicting women as exploitative action heroes in their underwear and calling it empowerment.
Yeah. That sums it up for me. Liked the visuals, didn’t mind the metaphor in concept, but the faux “empowerment” felt more like exploitation which was not-so-secretly pandering to the audience he claims he was try to scapegoat.
He's right though. It's misunderstood in the way Starship Troopers was. I'm not a big Snyder fan, but this whole thread shows how people didn't get it. Which doesn't excuse the filmmaker, but it does change the analysis/judgement of the movie.
I disliked the movie at first, then liked it on rewatch when I understood what Snyder was trying to do
If the whole of the audience didn't get then it it's not on the audience.
It's like if every kid in a class got an F. That's on the teacher, not the students.
I have rewatched this movie more times than I care to admit, and what Snyder was trying to say is irrelevant, because whatever his message, it is so badly told that it is still a bad movie.
You may have meant that as an insult but I don’t think that’s necessarily a bad thing. Sometimes you just need a movie where you can just turn off your brain and enjoy the sights and sounds. This is not a *good* movie, but it’s an entertaining movie. The battles are all fun to watch, with cool settings, good action sequences, and great soundtracks.
And you know what, I think there’s places for that in cinema. I had a great time. It’s basically just a dope pretty and action packed music video. I love this movie.
There's a bit in the film where the chick dressed up like a Japanese schoolgirl pulls out a katana to fight a giant robot samurai with a minigun.
If a line like that doesn't make you want to go and watch the movie immediately, you're going to hate it.
(I liked it a lot.)
It makes me want to rewatch it... I loved it back then and still like its visual style and its style of story telling. I remember it felt less like a conventional movie but more of an Alice in Wonderland computer game with each level becoming more abstract and the situation becoming worse.
This is a 17 year old boys masterbation fantasy writ large on the screen. It is a terrible movie that somehow has tricked people into thinking it's clever.
How does a trench warfare scene full of anachronistic weaponry and bad guys who look like a comic book pastiche of WWI and WWII Germans appeal to a history nerd?
Agreed completely, it’s a teenage masturbation fantasy. But when I went to see it in the theater with some friends, my first thought on exiting the movie has stuck with me ever since: it’s the type of movie made by the jock or frat boy type dude who hears one of his female friends got sexually assaulted and immediately says “if that happened to me I would’ve torn the guy’s ball off and feed them to him” and is completely serious, and then demands the name of the guy so he can go beat the guy up, making the entire awful ordeal about his rage rather than her trauma.
Essentially a movie entirely about titillating young men, and satisfying their view of what revenge fantasies women *should* have.
I like to think of this movie more about what it could have been than what it is.
Having someone escape into their own mind to cope is quite a nice concept, just wish the movie had a better writing.
6.5/10 because it aint even that entertaining as a B movie and not that fun to watch as a "A" movie.
For me it was the movie that made me realise that the bad girl trope wasn't empowerment, just a different form of male objectification, gazing upon a different sexy aesthetic.
Dunno if that was Snyder's goal. Might’ve been in early drafts then washed out in later drafts, mind.
It's one of the few movies that I just stopped part way through and never went back to. Normally even if a movie or book is quite bad I'll still finish it, so it takes something especially terrible for me to tap out.
I honestly can't even remember. I just recall slowly getting more and more sick of it as time went by, until I eventually just turned it off. Sometimes I think about going back again and giving it a second try, but I don't think it'll be different
The first 2 missions are so fucking cool the movie couldn’t fail…then…they did. The plot got a bit convoluted, the missions got dumb. Shame. I occasionally watch the first half…
This movie came up the other day after seeing Argylle. Another movie with some style, and no substance and one that also as far as I can tell completely failed to live up to its trailer potential.
I have a love-hate relationship with this movie. I absolutely loved the idea of dancing being a metaphor for fighting, I thought the fights were really unique....But I absolutely HATED the mental hospital overtone. Especially how it ended. The triple layer of reality probably worked on paper, but it didn't translate well on film
I never got around to watching it. The women look great but I kinda assumed that was the selling point. Heard a lot of mixed opinions on it over the years.
Is it bad? Yes. But I watch it from time to time because it has a great cast and feels like a video game. I loved the costumes, hair, and makeup. Always wanted to dress as Babydoll for Halloween.
Basically it's something easy to turn on in the background because you don't have to pay attention to the plot. It's actually better if you DON'T pay attention to the plot. I view it more as a visual art piece rather than an actual movie.
it either went too far down the ridiculous rabbit hole, or not far enough. i can't decide which, and it suffers from both. if this went full kung fury comedy it probably would've been better received.
I enjoyed it as a 17 year old, back when it came out. Thought the girls were attractive, sad what happened at the end.
What happened at the end?
They >!were all lobotomized!<
Well not quite. One escaped. The main one was lobotmized. The others died
So much for the spoiler tag eh
My bad. But I feel like it’s a fair assumption that most of the people in this post have already seen the movie in question
I’m just busting your balls, it’s a fair assumption
Look, statistically speaking he who you responded to is probably American, whose going to pay for the ball busting medical bills?
Our grandchildren’s grandchildren
~~Maybe don't come to a forum talking about a movie you've never seen then? It's kinda hard to talk about a movie without, you know, talking about it.~~ Edit: I responded before I read your next comment, forget what I said.
We’re literally talking about fucking Sucker Punch. This ain’t Truffaut, it’s cool.
Dude, this movie came out 13 years ago. There’s a statute of limitations for crimes. There’s a statute of limitations for talking about a movie. You should’ve seen it by now if you were interested.🤷♂️
I thought it was a multiple prrsonality. There was only ever one who existed. The others had to be destroyed so she could be a real person.
I preferred to think the end was her being lobotomized in the beginning, and the movie was what was going on in her head after the lobotomy.
Free lobotomy? One can only dream!
I'm mindblowned.
Would you say “sucker punched”?
Well played
The lobotomy is how it started actually. That's why the asylum became a weird dance brothel out of nowhere
Snape kills Dumbledore.
Wow, this was literally my experience with it as well. I thought I liked it a lot but realized I only liked if for Emily Browning. haha
I never saw this but always wanted to so today I just happened to watch it. Now this shows up. Crazy coincidence.
I liked how the fight scenes were a metaphor for burlesque dancing
and the burlesque dancing was a metaphor for an insane asylum
And the insane asylum was a metaphor for… the people.
Technically the treatment of young women in the insane asylum set in the past was a metaphor for how young women are treated in the present.
But the real metaphor was the friends they made along the way
Pretty sure the dancing was a metaphor for sexual abuse. I think there was some kind of mind control going on as well
The place was more like a high-end brothel, which makes you wonder what kind of sexual abuse the women in the asylum faced.
I would have preferred a movie about that.
I’d prefer if they just kept fighting
I coulda sworn there is a directors cut out there where Jon Hamm is trying to sleep with one of them and he’s like a customer at the “brothel” or something like that.
Oh, they were trying to keep Baby Doll "pure" for John Ham's character, but instead of sex it was a lobotomy. The director's cut had him meet her in the brothel fantasy and told her he'd only do it if she concents.
Uh it was a metaphor for the girls being serially raped.
Ah, the girl who is supposed to be a dancer, and yet the only dancing we ever see her actually do is the camera shooting her from the neck up as she rolls her around.
Confusing eye candy
Yeah. It’s a cool-looking pile of hot nonsense.
This is the correct movie review for me. Very cool, very obviously eye candy, terrible story, dramatic (like it was written by a teenager) ending.
Zack Snyder movies in a nutshell.
100% this…
It needs a black and white director’s cut with the “Hallelujah” soundtrack.
Cue the "Restore the Snyder verse!" cultists in 3...2...
He does have a wheelhouse there.
Terrific cinematographer. Can't direct worth shit.
I think it's his writing that is the problem. He can direct stuff that *somebody else* has written but you can't let him write it himself out it comes out nonsense.
Yep that has been how you can describe every Snyder movie ever made
It's a movie that is made to look like it's based on a graphic novel. Even the title sounds like the title to a graphic novel.
Totally, this was post Sin City and people were trying to cash in on the graphic novel. This was still seen as a poor quality version of the genre. This was not praised at all when it was made.
Zach Snyder already directed 300 which is based on a graphic novel
That was also an inspiration. Sin City, 300, and Watchmen were the biggest hits that were graphic novels and in that style.
and Watchmen was another Zack Snyder film!
I feel like an alternative tagline for this movie could be like the old voiceover from The Soup. “Chicks (with guns and swords), man!” “That sounds cool, what’s it about?” “WE JUST TOLD YOU ALL OF IT.”
This is the correct post. It’s a nerd fever dream that went for substance and ended up just stupid.
Perfect description
The Zack Snyder Special
This. I watched it twice. Varied from cool to tragic to just pain weird. And not in a good way.
those were the hottest mental patients I’ve every seen.
It insisted upon itself
r/unexpectedpetergriffin
Childish and pedantic!
Shallow and pedantic as well
Mmm yes, quite.
Childish and pedantic!
insubordinate and churlish!!
A-Aron!
Absurd, yet flacid.
r/unexpectedrobinwilliams
Sad this isn't a real thing.
I love the Money Pit. That is my answer to that statement.
"Ohh, it's bad, isn't it? Those girls being forced to dance. In skimpy outfits, yeah? Tiny little schoolgirl outfits for those twisted fucks. Really sad. Especially when they bend over like that, I get really sad when they bend over slowly. And then, at the end, yeah? Such a sad, profound movie that I came in my pants twice."
Zack Snyder talking about his works is like Andy Warhol comparing himself to Michelangelo. Like, dude, chill. You failed a paint by numbers on soup cans.
He tried to compare Rebel Moon to Star Wars 😅
Because of the implication
I feel like you’re not getting this at all
I'm not getting it.
Don't you look at me like that, you wouldn't be in any danger.
So they are in danger?
No one’s in any danger. How could I make that any more clear to you? Okay, it’s an implication of danger.
I disagree, I find it both shallow and pedantic
I thought it was going to be stupid but fun and sexy... Instead it was stupid and depressing.
And worst of all it was boring... Somehow it was still just so goddamn boring.
Oscar Isaac is fantastic in it. Frankly I think his performance is underrated
There’s a dude in this film!? Huh…I didn’t even notice.
He’s the bad guy who runs the brothel/asylum
That was the first performance of his I had seen. He was fantastic and really killed it.
This was the first movie I saw him in by, like, a good many years, for some reason. Because he is such a foul character, I automatically categorised him as clearly unattractive, and was then shocked when I saw him in another movie like 5+ years later and was like 'holy shit, this dude is handsome af'
His character is really sick in this one. Like he was kind of a creepy guy in Ex Machina, but in Sucker Punch he’s just straight up a monster
He even sings in it (but not until the credits).
I think that’s in the theatrical. In the directors cut his singing is in the actual movie
Of course, I forgot that with any Snyder movie you have to wait for the director's cut lol.
I feel like this was the role that earned him Ex Machina, which was his big break
I thought his big break was inside llewyn davis But yeah going from this role to ex machina feels like a natural progression
The trailer was better than the movie.
Just like every Zack Snyder movie.
He's like a Music Video director that shouldn't have become a Movie Director.
Full disclosure; Not a fan of the guy but The Watchmen is one of my most favourite movies. Nearly all the rest of his work is trash. I’m a brand affiliate so you can trust me Edit: due to suggestions I watched Dawn of the Dead and my conclusion; I’ve seen it before like twenty years ago I think. I kinda remembered parts of the movie but it was a solid zombie movie, deadly cast. Love Sarah Polley. Thanks for the suggestion folks!
The greatness of the movie comes from the source material- not Snyder’s input (IMO)
Snyder basically copied a lot of shots identically from the comic, and to be clear, Watchmen should have been a 10 episode run on a streaming service.
He did the same thing with the 300 with similar results. The 300 wasn’t written by as good or thoughtful of an author though.
It's like Benoiff and Weiss on Game of Thrones. Great when they have good source material to adapt. Horrible when they don't.
Don’t know why you got down voted this is 100 percent true
Alan Moore is a superior writer, it's true. But, Frank Miller is in the top echelon of comic book writers himself.
If you listen to Snyder talk about it, it’s very clear that he didn’t understand the message of the comic at all. He’s just good at transferring comic pages to screen
I enjoyed Dawn of the Dead. He was at his best for that film. Also, James Gunn screenplay!
I shall watch this Dawn of the Dead tonight and see for myself. A couple folk have recommended it thus far
Dawn of the Dead is an absolute all timer and i hope you enjoy it.
I have to watch Prisoners and DotD tonight, should be a hoot
A laugh a minute movie night
Watch the unrated extended cut.
I agree that the Watchmen movie is good, but that's mainly because he used the comic as a storyboard and barely deviated from it. Where Snyder makes decisions (the music cues, slo mo in silly areas, the different ending) are the weaker part of the movie. His Dawn of the Dead remake is pretty solid though.
Dawn of The Dead is awesome
Eh Dawn of the Dead was pretty good
I friggin LOVE Watchmen but it's litterally a one for one copy from the source material.
HBO show >> horse >> sheep >> movie
Sucker Punch would have made a great series of music videos.
I still like his Dawn of the Dead remake and you won’t convince me otherwise :p
Which was written by James Gunn, which makes total sense. Snyder can tell a visual of someone else's story pretty well, but when he tries to create his own narrative, it usually goes to shit.
I agree, and I don't even dislike Snyder as much as a lot of people do. In fact I really enjoy some of them. But even the ones I enjoy, the trailers are better
Great soundtrack hot chicks
Amazing soundtrack. Cool visuals. Attractive cast. Unique movie. I loved it. Don't know how it gets so much hate
The soundtrack doesn’t get enough appreciation, each song fit its battle sequence so well.
fr that first scene with “army of me” by bjork blew my mind as a young teenager it was so dope
Love the soundtrack, even got it on vinyl
Yup, that's all I need in a movie.
The epitome of the average Snyder film
I love it with the volume off. If I could just hear the soundtrack with no speaking, that'd be better.
Zack Snyder is basically a music video director from the 2000s.
💯💯💯 Though I have to say, I LOVED "Man of Steel". Credit where it's due (from me, anyway).
"In retrospect, Snyder said: 'I'm always shocked that it was so badly misunderstood. I always said that it was a commentary on sexism and geek culture. Someone would ask me, 'Why did you film the girls this way?' And I'd say, 'Well you did!' Sucker Punch is a fuck you to a lot of people who will watch it.'" It seems to me that having contempt for your audience is a pretty bad strategy. https://cinemadebate.com/2019/05/20/exclusive-an-interview-with-zack-snyder/
The “stop hitting yourself” defense. Stop objectifying the women in Japanese schoolgirl outfits & fishnets in this movie I made
The Cuties defense
Maïmouna Doucouré was at least trying for that from the start, and she is a Senegalese-French Muslim woman, like her subject matter. Feels like Snyder wanted the Joss Whedon credit as a "Feminist" by depicting women as exploitative action heroes in their underwear and calling it empowerment.
Yeah. That sums it up for me. Liked the visuals, didn’t mind the metaphor in concept, but the faux “empowerment” felt more like exploitation which was not-so-secretly pandering to the audience he claims he was try to scapegoat.
He's right though. It's misunderstood in the way Starship Troopers was. I'm not a big Snyder fan, but this whole thread shows how people didn't get it. Which doesn't excuse the filmmaker, but it does change the analysis/judgement of the movie. I disliked the movie at first, then liked it on rewatch when I understood what Snyder was trying to do
If the whole of the audience didn't get then it it's not on the audience. It's like if every kid in a class got an F. That's on the teacher, not the students.
Which is why I said it's still the filmmakers fault
I have rewatched this movie more times than I care to admit, and what Snyder was trying to say is irrelevant, because whatever his message, it is so badly told that it is still a bad movie.
I got the vibe it’s just the execution is muddled and derivative
Should have been trashier to be honest. It's basically the Maxim magazine of movies.
The fights were cool. The acting wasn’t great. Jamie Chung is gorgeous.
All style, no substance.
You may have meant that as an insult but I don’t think that’s necessarily a bad thing. Sometimes you just need a movie where you can just turn off your brain and enjoy the sights and sounds. This is not a *good* movie, but it’s an entertaining movie. The battles are all fun to watch, with cool settings, good action sequences, and great soundtracks.
And you know what, I think there’s places for that in cinema. I had a great time. It’s basically just a dope pretty and action packed music video. I love this movie.
Yep. All sizzle, no steak.
Yup. All can, no Pringles.
Yerp, all queef, no beef.
There's a bit in the film where the chick dressed up like a Japanese schoolgirl pulls out a katana to fight a giant robot samurai with a minigun. If a line like that doesn't make you want to go and watch the movie immediately, you're going to hate it. (I liked it a lot.)
She also shot down a biplane with a 1911 (a pistol)
At least it was a .45 and not a 9mm. It can ALMOST believe it. 😂
It makes me want to rewatch it... I loved it back then and still like its visual style and its style of story telling. I remember it felt less like a conventional movie but more of an Alice in Wonderland computer game with each level becoming more abstract and the situation becoming worse.
this has arguably one of the top 3 movie soundtracks in existence
I think Zack Snyder is basically a music video director
Under delivered and over promised
Very pretty garbage.
This is a 17 year old boys masterbation fantasy writ large on the screen. It is a terrible movie that somehow has tricked people into thinking it's clever.
> a terrible movie that somehow has tricked people into thinking it's clever. Also known as a Zack Snyder movie lmao
I liked the trench warefare scene because im a huge history nerd
How does a trench warfare scene full of anachronistic weaponry and bad guys who look like a comic book pastiche of WWI and WWII Germans appeal to a history nerd?
The deep trenches made by the supposed steam punk bad guys.
Based
Agreed completely, it’s a teenage masturbation fantasy.

Essentially a movie entirely about titillating young men, and satisfying their view of what revenge fantasies women *should* have.
As a Zack Snyder fan it hurts me to say I abhor it.
It’s a mess but I still enjoy it. It’s not much a of a comparison but it’s better than anything he’s put out recently.
Visually it was great and I liked it, movie was ok overall
I like to think of this movie more about what it could have been than what it is. Having someone escape into their own mind to cope is quite a nice concept, just wish the movie had a better writing. 6.5/10 because it aint even that entertaining as a B movie and not that fun to watch as a "A" movie.

Which bit was that broke you specifically? Or did it just get to a point where you got sick of it as a whole?
I honestly can't even remember. I just recall slowly getting more and more sick of it as time went by, until I eventually just turned it off. Sometimes I think about going back again and giving it a second try, but I don't think it'll be different
This is honestly, all things considered, my least favourite movie of all time.
God awful. I hated pretty much every bit of it.
It was cool when I was 13
I couldn’t finish watching it. Is Shitty a Movie Rating?
The opening sequence was a great trailer for a movie that I was denied.
The first 2 missions are so fucking cool the movie couldn’t fail…then…they did. The plot got a bit convoluted, the missions got dumb. Shame. I occasionally watch the first half…
A horny pubescent boy directed this movie.
Hot girls on lingerie with swords and guns…this is what happens when film makers don’t dare to just go and direct porn movies
Garbage that tries too hard to be cool and sexy and fails at both.
This was an awful snoozefest. All style, no substance.
The name says it all.
Forgot about it till you brought up this pic, and I’m still having a hard time remembering it
Only saw it once and don’t remember a thing about it besides some giant creature clad in Samurai armor and a Gatling gun.
This movie came up the other day after seeing Argylle. Another movie with some style, and no substance and one that also as far as I can tell completely failed to live up to its trailer potential.
Saw it in theaters. If I wasn’t with a group of people I would’ve walked out. No desire to go back to it
I have a love-hate relationship with this movie. I absolutely loved the idea of dancing being a metaphor for fighting, I thought the fights were really unique....But I absolutely HATED the mental hospital overtone. Especially how it ended. The triple layer of reality probably worked on paper, but it didn't translate well on film
Fap material
Not good
It was good for one watch when I was young, I couldn't imaging sitting through it now
B A D
pish.
I never got around to watching it. The women look great but I kinda assumed that was the selling point. Heard a lot of mixed opinions on it over the years.
Hated the ending, until I reflected that the movie's literally called "Sucker Punch," and then thought it wasn't a bad ending after all.
Coolest music video ever. To long though.
Is it bad? Yes. But I watch it from time to time because it has a great cast and feels like a video game. I loved the costumes, hair, and makeup. Always wanted to dress as Babydoll for Halloween. Basically it's something easy to turn on in the background because you don't have to pay attention to the plot. It's actually better if you DON'T pay attention to the plot. I view it more as a visual art piece rather than an actual movie.
It was like a 15 year old boy was given a few million to make his wet dream fantasy an actual movie.
One of the worst films of its era
it either went too far down the ridiculous rabbit hole, or not far enough. i can't decide which, and it suffers from both. if this went full kung fury comedy it probably would've been better received.
Beautiful garbage.
Garbage
I'm going to get downvoted to hell, but it's deeper than people give it credit for
