Sucker Punch

I have kind of soured lately on movies whose appeal ratio is less plotty than 70% aesthetic :: 30% plot. So what is the glimmer of a story that might be in there?

Anyone?

Bueller?

Interesting phrasing, since I’m not sure if Ferris counts by your definition.

I know theres been discussion of “glimmer of story” and 70% aesthetic vs. 30% plot

…allow me to retort

Hot chicks
Dragons
Samurai
Machine guns

…jus sayin

Let’s see…

Pretty young women in skimpy clothing wielding big swords and even bigger guns…

Who needs a plot?

Also…isn’t that the girl from High School Musical on one of the posters? Uncle Mickey is not amused…

yep - thats Vanessa Hudgens

giggedy

Feris is like 60% heart :: 20% plot :: 20% pure awesome

That actually got me another teeny bit more interested. I’m leaning toward yes at this point.

…yes, please

:groucho:

ahhhh… God Bless you Zack Synder for making this film.

Maybe the level of thespian-ism won’t be as much of a factor in this flick, but I wish Snyder would use a co-director to handle the acting part of his movies.

But with this flick, it seems like the entire point is to look awesome.

Really!? Thespians!? with those three, thant is fantastic.
wait…

What…?

Oh… You said Thespian… not… ah…oh…

Carry on…

I’m thinking monster cult hit here.

I’ll join a Sucker Punch cult.

I’d rather see this one, to be honest:

That’s cool. But, I’m sorta disappointed with myself because I couldn’t place or recognize 15-20% of the clips.

An animated short inspired by the movie…

Forgive my ignorance, but why is this movie generating so much fan-made content? Or, is it just that more ppl are posting them here?

I understand Snyder’s popularity, but still.

Meh. It’s just that it caught people’s fancy. But as with Snakes on a Plane, that can effervesce quickly once it’s out. Stay tuned.

I am really looking forward to seeing this with the BF. It looks like much stupid fun with lots of blowing things up.

Saw it, Liked it, want to see it again. filled to the brim with stuff I love, the end good the fights good, there was something off though, and I can’t place it. Still well worth your time.

Rented it from Red Box. Sorta knew where it was going while hoping I was wrong. Can’t say why without spoiling it and I’m too lazy to use spoiler tags. d:

The scenes with the dragon et al were amazing though. Wish I could see them on the big screen or on a bigger HDTV. d: Not sure I’ll buy it because of previously stated hopes that were dashed.
