Review
I recently saw Sucker Punch at an advance screening and thoroughly enjoyed it. To be honest I am the target demographic here. I'm a guy in his twenties who plays video games and enjoys fantasy movies and action.... but this is a decent film overall. It appeals to my "sensible adult" side that appreciates a good well written film with great directing great acting and overall good cinematography. It also appeals to my "twentysomething male" side that loves sexy ladies guns killer robots dragons samurai and swordplay. The abundant CG is stunningly beautiful and doesn't feel overdone or become visually exhausting like some movies. This movie gets me. and I know that there will be a good number of people who dislike this movie dismissing it as juvenile or stupid. who dislike the amount of CGI used in this movie. I don't care... I love this movie for exactly what it is... a good movie that appeals to me in every way.
