Sucker Punch



Blades, Guns, Explosives, Mecha, Slow-Mo's & Heroics
Typical Zack Snyder fare? 
Of course, he delivers as in the same vein as 300 and Watchmen.



Sucker Punch follows the story of Baby Doll (Emily Browning - Lemony Snickett's A Series of Unfortunate Events) institutionalized by evil step-father into a mental asylum. There, she creates her alternate reality and together with Rocket (Jena Malone), Amber (Jamie Chung), Blondie (Vanessa Hudgens) and Sweet Pea (Abbie Cornish) they did their blade-dance and monster-slaying in order to get the 5 items for their escape.

     this picture of Jamie Chung with lollipop is for you, you know who you are ;)

Notable performance from this caretaker Blue (Oscar Isaac - Robin Hood) guy, decent mash of covers for soundtrack and of course the CGI is tops; with Snyder's trademark slow-mo + speed-ups. 

                                Adorable Mecha-Bunny

Good mini twist in the end; made oneself think about purpose in a bigger picture. 

Typical Zack Snyder fare?
of course, on a side note, this is 3 reasons why he'd make it work for us to salivate waiting for next years' Superman: Man of Steel (darn, what's the new Supes' actor, again?)
