Way too much of everything, except story and plot. Note to writers...it's OK to say no to an idea once in a while. I say D+

Rating: 3/10 (26 June 2011)

"For those who fight for it, life has a flavor the sheltered will never know." After attacking her step-father Baby Doll (Browning) is locked in a mental asylum. Facing a lobotomy she escapes to a fantasy world and her and her other inmates plan their escape. This is an absolute mess of a movie. This is another movie that felt like there were 25 writers and no one wanted to say no to any idea that was given. Without giving anything away this movie contains : singing, samurais, orcs, dragons, robots, guns, explosions in a castle, helicopter flights, jet packs and runaway trains with bombs just to name a few. If this is your type of movie then you will be in heaven. To be fair I did watch the extended edition and found it to be boring, (the theatrical version may have taken some of the unnecessary footage out) and I kept falling asleep in parts so I'm not 100% on the plot lines, but I have a feeling that I didn't miss much. I know many will love this movie, I just couldn't get past how absurd it all seemed. Overall, this felt like a movie that didn't know what it wanted to be, so it tried to be everything at once. I don't think it worked. I say D+.
Would I watch again? - No way.
