Review
I laughed at myself for being sucker punched by our beloved director of 300 "Zack Snyder". The movie is awkwardly told. The action part is totally unnecessary. Sometimes a less is more. Fortunately, the plot and setting is interesting enough to keep me watching. But honestly, it took only 40 minutes to finish the story which means that I have to go through agonizing 80 minutes of bored.
The action part is totally a ruin for the story atmosphere. However, you have to praised the hard work of the beautifully crafted action scenes. Unfortunately, Sucker Punch could have been better without it. Sucker Punch is suppose to be dark, serious and thrilling. In the end, Sucker punch is a coffee with too much sugar.
Well in term of character building, there is an eager of wanting to know what really is going on with the "Baby Doll". Is she really mentally ill or what else? Disappointingly, the line of finding out is kinda blurred, thus leaving the audiences to adopt a certain perspective along the movie "Guessing".
