Sucker Punch is an upcoming American action-fantasy film written by Steve Shibuya and Zack Snyder, and directed by Snyder. Sucker Punch features an ensemble female cast that includes Emily Browning, Vanessa Hudgens, Abbie Cornish, Jamie Chung, Jena Malone, and Carla Gugino. The film follows a young girl in the 1950s about to be lobotomized and as she attempts to escape an asylum with her inmate friends.

Snyder has described the film as "Alice in Wonderland with machine guns", including dragons, B-52 bombers and brothels.

"Set in the 1950s, it tells the story of Baby Doll (Browning), who is trying to hide from the pain caused by her evil stepfather and lobotomy. She ends up in mental institution in Brattleboro, Vermont and while there she starts to imagine alternative reality. She plans to escape from that imaginary world but to do that she needs to steal five objects before she is caught by a vile man. She has 5 days to escape before being lobotomized. In order to cope with the situation, she enters the hyper-real world of her imagination, and the lines between reality and dream begin to blur. She is joined with friends who are inmates from the institution. Lessons learned in the said fantasy world could help the girls escape their real-world fate."

Watch the trailer.

What say you guys?

Zach Snyder is beginning to annoy me intensely...But who can say no to a bunch of hot young women wearing very little going around kicking some serious ass?

Looks promising.

Vanessa Hudgens, Jamie Chung 'nuff said

I'm actually really looking forward to this, I think it'll be a lot of fun.

Looks like fantastic fun, reminds me of that wonderful Japanese film Casshern.

Except that Casshern (which coincidentally I watched tonight for the 1st time in a long time) has a massive amount of depth to it in terms of themes.

This quite clearly wont.

It'll just have hot chicks kicking ass.

Sucker Punch is an upcoming American action-adventure fantasy film.The immersive open world action, continues the story of reluctant hero as he battles Cole McGrath his way through the southern city of New Marais.The Collection offers a rare view of life on Earth.

Yeah, thanks for that...



Too true, but then I don't expect depth from a Zack Snyder film, and I said fun. So

EDIT

Everyone who went to comic con said this looks and sounds awesome and so does the new Piranha 3D movie. They said the girls for Sucker Punch were awesome and the promo chicks for Piranha 3D were awesome "Wild Wild Girls". I just tried to find pics and I found this from Comic-con. The trailer for Piranha 3D is out now and the movie looks sweet. Its the same director as Hills Have Eyes and looks like an amazing final product.

Here are the "Wild Wild Girls" at Comic-Con

Are the makers of Piranha 3D paying you? Seriously

jabjabcross - piss off into the horror section and make a topic about the film instead of filling other sections up with your piranha crap.

Looks so badass. I got a movie boner! If the story his half-way decent, it should be an easy 8 out of 10.

Trailer looks interesting

Just saw the Trailer....

Zach Snyder is nothing but a lame HACK!

Sucker Punch....k...catchy title...what should we throw in?

Kill Bill meets with Lord of the Rings and decide to have lunch and invite Dragon Wars with them to eat at the house of Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow.

This guy is going the way of M Night. Someone, please tell him he sucks.

People throw around the term "hack" without knowing what it means. Snyder doesn't make films for the paycheck. You may not like his films, but - with the exception of maybe Watchmen - he doesn't pretend that his movies are deep or meaningful. You can tell he puts a lot of effort into them as well, the set pieces, the special effects, the care for source material, etc. You may not like his work, a lot of people don't, but a Brett Ratner he is not.

It's not like he's covering up that Sucker Punch apparently features an almagamation of tons of awesome stuff we've seen in other properties. He's just appealing to the inner 14 year old boy in all of us and as far as action goes, I really really dig the way Snyder films it.

Exactly. That pretty much sums up my interests in this film.


And, this movie looks like it will have a bit of depth..if not quite a bit.

Oo there is a dragon in the trailer, soooooooooo automatically it's like Lord of the Rings... Lord of the Rings didn't come into my head at all through that trailer.

I don't even remember any dragons in Lord of the Rings. The closest thing I can think of were those creatures the ring wraiths rode on... but that's a stretch. So yeah, I also didn't think of Lord of the Rings. If anything it evoked Reign of Fire (which was terrible) or something.

Not in Lord of the Rings, but in the Hobbit...remember Singe, the dragon who hoarded all that treasure, and Bilbo had to fight him??

What's your point? Dragons aren't exclusive to The Hobbit; they've been around WAY before The Hobbit was ever was ever written. As far as I'm concerned, dragons are fair game for any movie, just like any other fantastical creature. No film/book really has a monopoly on them.

That film looks awesome. I greatly look forward to this film. I was thinking about it just a few minutes ago and forgot the name of the film. So I found this thread by searching for the most recent threads Imp created in the movie forum.


I like fantasy art that is going on in this film. It makes my senses tingle.

It looks like nothing more than a popcorn film to me, but what a popcorn film! The CGI looks absolutely giggity!

What annoys me is his mass amounts of slo-mo use. His films feel like they're only an eight minute clip slowed down and milked for an hour and half. Though abit over the top, I still watch his films and enjoy them, just that damn slo-mo.

He does like a slow-mo scene. I agree that it is way overused, lets hope he tones it down for this.

Yes, as opposed to all the deep richness of regular cinematography. Y'know, the medium thats based entirely around style.

Originally posted by Esau Cairn

Because he's taking his one successful trick and is trying to make every single movie he directs with it.

Go ahead and be stylistic...I have no problem with that...But he'll never in a million years do it as well as someone like Tarantino or the Coen Brothers.

Not to say I wont enjoy Sucker Punch or even Xerxes if it actually appears...Not sure how it'll translate to Superman though....And I'm sure the trick will have worn extremely thin by then.

i don't give a phuck how hot these women are
1. they're not naked
2. they're not even in reach of where i can even talk to them

i like porno's & i like movies
not the two mixed with suggestive images in which i'll be too hard to even want to finish the movie part

just sayin

This look 'meh' at best.

Not going to be new and flashy like 300 was and I seriously doubt the story will have the depth of Watchmen.

One successful trick?
What other effects is there to fall back on?

Matrix-bullet style?
Michael Bay's explosions over substance?
Over the top wire-work?
Bourne Identity stlye-where the action was just too fast to follow?

I don't think Snyder ever claimed to want to be another Tarantino wannabe nor can I see the Coen Bros directing 300.

And unfortunately I've read that Snyder isn't attached to Xerxes because of his commitment to Superman.

Y'know...I'm fairly new to KMC but the one thing I find the most odd is all the movie review threads....

Pages & pages of everybody judging a movie by its preview then when the actual movie hits the screens, hardly anyone gives their opinions on the actual film itself.

Why quote me for that? I said the trailer didn't do anything for me, hardly a damnation on the movie itself.

Wasn't picking on you...sorry if it came across that way.

Just been wanting to share my observation for a while & your quote just seemed apt to do it.

No, too late for apologies. You and me will fight to the death.

I review more movies than I comment on previews, btw.

I'm our statistical outlier, I suppose. There's always got to be at least one, right? lol

If I'm not mistaken, Mildpossession is the same.

Either this will be excellent and a lot of fun, or it will be shit and a lot of fun. I don't see another avenue for this movie, honestly. A musical with incredibly hot women in fetish gear fighting robot samurai with chain guns? It's an obvious cash grab for nerd fantasies, but I don't care. I'm there opening night.

Originally posted by RE: Blaxican

Just like Pokemon?

Sucker Punch looks like Alice in Wonderland on steroids

I think the movie looks visually gorgeous, which is most of what I enjoy about Snyder's films. Sure, the plot seems reminiscent of a few films, but that doesn't mean he isn't making the ideas his own in new ways. I will look forward to the over-use of slow-mo and eccentric piles of random things that teenage boys can't get enough of.

I am very excited to watch full movie.I have watch the trailer.Emily Browning is my favorite and secondly i want to download Another Harvest Moon which will released at the first week of April.

**** OFF YOU ****

Anyway, just read a review from somewhere I nearly always agree with, they gave it 1 out of 5...

I was thinking more like a 2 out of 5, but not surprised if it tanks.

I read this review:

"Sucker Punch promises cake and when you show up, it's fruitcake, and you're like, "What the **** is this ****?" Because nobody likes fruitcake!"


And I laughed pretty damn hard.



Anyway, from what I read of the reviews and see of the previews, I'm going to love this film. I hope I'm only slightly disappointed. I see it Saturday. Already got me ticket.

It's kind of sad that society has gotten to the point where it considers a movie to be good if the viewer is only "slightly" disappointed by its end.

Oh, I know it wasn't directed at me: I'm not THAT pretentious.

And, yeah, I agree.


If you go back and watch the acting in Star Wars, episodes 4, 5, and 6...the acting is just TERRIBLE. Look at the acting in episodes 1, 2, and 3 and it is loads better than the original Star Wars...but, yet...you get haters saying the exact opposite. Not only is that just weird, it goes to show how "standards" are just becoming almost unreasonable.

Exactly. Contrast how accurately the military was portrayed (contemporarily) in B:LA with Platoon and you'll see why I liked Platoon more.

Hayden Christiansen would beg to differ.

Also Natalie Portman, Samuel L. Jackson and pretty much everyone else not Liam Neeson.

And even he wasn't that great.

Yeah, that's just not gonna fly, at all: Hayden performed better than everyone from the OT except Harrison Ford, Alec Guinness, and Ian McDiarmid.

You can list one semi-decent actor (he's decent, but he's not good) from the PT and I can list just about everyone from the OT as fail.

Which further proves my point of people being much harsher on things, these days.

Sure, they weren't oscar performances, but they were superior to just about every single actor from the OT.



It's like you two refuse to see how horrible the acting really was in the OT. Seriously, go back and watch some of the acting: it's worse, at some points, than a highschool play. I could not believe how horrible it was. (I just watched some of ANH, recently...)

I think the credulity of all the acting was made more difficult with literally nothing but blue screen & makeshift props around them.

Plus the fact that Lucas made the plot up as he went along made it difficult for the actors to grasp their characters.

Seems the critics don't like the movie and lots of talk about it looking like a video game.

I was actually shocked at how well received SPvstW was. I assume sucker-punch will appeal to a very large portion of the fans of SPcstW. Am I wrong? (Not a rhetorical question: I'm open for a "correction."

I'm pretty much gonna have to disagree with everything you just said. Frank Oz as Yoda in Empire is more compelling than any of the acting in the prequels, and he's a ****ing puppet... made of rubber and yet he's more human and convincing than Hayden Christiansen.

I don't want to derail the topic too much, but let's just say there's no way in hell you're going to convince me that the absolute shit-acting on display in the prequels is better than stuff we see in the originals. I'm not even claiming the acting in the originals is amazing or anything, I'm just saying the prequels are THAT much worse. Worse writing (which makes for worse acting) and worse directing (which also makes for worse acting). And, of course, just good old-fashioned bad acting.

gonna see this tonight.

I snuck into Rango afterwards though, and that was good. So I'm satisfied.

That was so stupid. There was a paper thin plot, zero interesting characters and it was an incomprehensible mess. Even the action sequences were boring. The only good thing about the movie was the music video opening sequence, the rest was terrible.

Not really. Puppet Yoda was legitimately awesome.

All my friends that went to see Sucker Punch last night told me not to waste my time or money and that it's an awful film. The only good thing they had to say about this film was the eye candy CGI, but no other good comments.

I don't understand why everyone hates this movie. I thought it wasn't half bad. My only complaint would be some spotty acting. The action was awesome and the cinematography was beautiful. plus the plot was eh... ok. Definitely a guys movie though. I liked it.

I ****ing hate Zack Snyder's fight choreography. Not every ****ing scene requires slow-mo, and am I the only person who noticed that the girls did that "land in a half-crouch then dramatically look up" thing like 50 times? Meh. Just about every aspect of the movie was lack luster. The women weren't even hot.

I give it a 6 out of 10.


The story really just turned to complete crap about 60 minutes into the film. When Blue Jones discovers their plot...that's not how the film should have played out.


Things that were annoying:

The Anime style crouch and lookup pose. That was doing 10000000 times and it is okay to do in the film AFTER you destroy a bunch of bad guys...about two times. Anymore than that and it's really stupid.


The movie is actually only about 50 minutes long...but slo-mo is used soooooooooo much that it extends it all the way the 109 minute mark.


Some of the fghting sequences were VERY fun and that was the movie's only really good quality.

This movie would have been better as R with copious mounts of nudity to make up for the some of the bad parts.


Emily Downing was hot, of course: Two thumbs up.


If they re-wrote the last 30 minutes of the film to something I liked, I could give it a 7.5. Effects, sound, acting...those were all decent to great. Sometimes, the choreography sucked and was annoying and at other times, it was awesome. I have to give that a 5 out of 10. I could rank it higher if they would get rid of the "in your face shaking camera" work.



I recomend this movie be watched in the theater or at home on a really nice home theater. There is NO reason to watch the movie any other way because this movie's only great part is the visuals and sound. If you watch it on something other than that, you've wasted your time and should not watch the film as there's nothing worth watching about it other than the ear and eye candy.

LOL. I think we are alike...alot.

Poor taste runs rampant in these lands!

I haven't even seen the film, yet, and all I hear are negative reviews. I do want to see Sucker Punch, but I think that I'll wait for DVD, most likely.

After Watchmen, I'm waiting until blu ray, especially after every review I've read has been rubbish.

*Shudders at the thought of how Snyder might make Superman fight*

Movie's shit. If you want to know why Snyder doesn't write most of his movies this movie's the answer. He's a shit writer. Incoherent, sloppy, and lazy. The use of fantasies for the fight scenes struck me not as an idea born from ambition, but because he's too inept to think of a way to transition from one scene to the next in an organic way.

And as everyone knows, his style is way past that of being a one trick pony. It's now a no trick pony. His abuse of slow motion is now into the realm of self parody.

Looks like shit that a 13 year old anime geek would fancy.

Plot is terrible. Acting is terrible, Ending is terrible.

It has it's plus points though.

The women are hot
The action scenes during the "dances" are impressive enough.
It references an absolute ton of other movies and games.

Killzone
Lord of the Rings
I Robot
The Matrix
Casshern
Castle Wolfenstein

and a **** load more that I picked up on but have now forgot and probably a **** load more that I didn't pick up on.

As BF says...The writing is lazy and sloppy...But I don't think I'll ever see another film in my life that combines dragons, zombie german soldiers, giant samurai warriors, machine guns and scantily clad hot women.

So all things considered...I came away from this movie with a smile on my face.

Casshern definitely had a big influence on it, that's the first film that came into my head when I saw the trailer when it first came out.

Yeah in terms of the colour hue and the anime-esque CGI...Not to mention the blatant reference when she cuts the robot in half down the middle in slow motion which is lifted pretty much straight out of Cassherm

Obviously doesn't have the depth to the underlying theme that Casshern had though...But then it's Zach Snyder so who would expect anything else?

Basically a two hour long music video set to horrible remixes / covers to decent songs. Only movie I've seen in the theater where I thought about leaving .

What did you go in expecting?

Covers of Sweet Dreams, and White Rabbit are excellent.

Yeah the covers of White Rabbit and Sweet Dreams were fine. The rap mash up of Queen's We Will Rock You and I Want It All wasn't bad either.
The only people I know personally who hated this film were girls who also happen to be very insecure.
I haven't met a guy yet though there are many on this forum who hastily struck at the chance to shoot it down.
I have no complaints other than it's predictability which considering it's a popcorn film is no problem.
It's pretty escapism and had good actors.
If you walked in expecting more then you're a fool not the movie.
It was far better than your average anime or martial art film so it was good.

And Abbie Cornish is so hot.

The action scenes were bad, the women were unttractive, and the plot was. So it fails as both a brainless popcorn movie and a srs movie. Which is unfortunate.

It had good music though.

I just found out some guy took my mom to see Sucker Punch on a date. lmao

Come on buddy.

The samurai scenes and the steam zombie nazi action scenes were good the rest were too CG to hold my attention. The dragon and robots. which is the main disappointment I hear amongst people.
First half good last half lost interest.
Alot of guys I've found don't find Abbie cornish attractive. Fair enough. I think she's hot.

Come on buddy.
Shoulda taken her to see Just Go With It. My partner and I loved it.

The only people I know personally who hated this film were girls who also happen to be very insecure.
I haven't met a guy yet though there are many on this forum who hastily struck at the chance to shoot it down.
I have no complaints other than it's predictability which considering it's a popcorn film is no problem.
It's pretty escapism and had good actors.
If you walked in expecting more then you're a fool not the movie.
It was far better than your average anime or martial art film so it was good.

And Abbie Cornish is so hot.


Fair assessment. It was certainly fun at parts and it didn't take itself too seriously, so I had a hard time rating this as 'bad' score.

Just saw it, loved it.

Having read the reviews and most of your comments, my expectations were at their lowest. So I was actually surprised when I saw it. I had a good time eating my popcorn and that's all I wanted.

Heck, even my gf, who's hated every single Snyder movie I've taken her to, really liked it...I didn't tell her who was the director though.

Well, the 14 year old girl in me. And the 26 year old girl too
