I'd been waiting on the release of Sucker Punch for quite some time. Every once in a while I just need to watch a good action movie, but great action combined with beautiful camera work and kick-ass teenage girls is not something I'd pass up.
Granted, the whole forced prostitution-thing wasn't really my cup of tea, but I came for the action, dreamy colors and cast and was not disappointed. (However prior to going there I did ask someone who'd seen it if nothing too shocking happened, just to make sure I wouldn't walk out of the theater traumatized.)
The soundtrack is amazing by the way, I don't think I've ever seen a movie where the film and music were so very much in sync. This was an experience unlike I've ever had before at the movies.
If I had to give some critique too I'd say that the story maybe wasn't that great and I thought it was weird that you never saw the actual "dance". Nothing's really explained and then all of a sudden...: Action! It's weird, but great and you'll get used to the film's style soon enough.
You put it perfectly "Weird, but great"! I loved this movie, if only for the fact that the sights and sounds were amazing...it was like leaving your brain behind and just enjoying it ^_^!
