So, first of all i really enjoyed the film the film!
::Major Spoiler Alert::Major Spoiler Alert::Please Know Spoiler Alert::
It gave me a lot of what i wanted and more actually, starting with the silent cold open with Emily Browning singing a version of Sweet Dreams (are made of this) BTW the entire soundtrack i downloaded the night i got home from the movie, really great.
So the beginning was emotional. Though i did wish they added more scenes to explain more of the family life, more of the evil step father and more of the sisters as a family to make me really feel the pain baby-doll went through. After returning home, i found out after research that a lot of scenes were cut from the film, lets just hope that its in the directors cut DVD.
After the title is shown, the main character Baby-doll is taken to the mental hospital which unfolds an entire book of craziness. I really wanted a cleaner transition from reality to the sub-reality but i thought that the camera movements that went from baby-dolls blond hair was great, as it pans around to reveal another actress just acting out a scene. The cuts from sub-reality to fantasy-reality were really good, like the first one with baby-doll in the snow temple getting the first lesson from The Wise Man.
I did want more character development. I wanted to see more personality's of the characters blondie, rocket and amber after they were introduced, as i could already tell that sweet-pea was the tough girl and possible the oldest and baby-doll named after her looks. Madam Gorski was perfect, and actor Oscar Isaac was perfect as Blue, the controlling 'owner' of the girls and the main antagonist. Madam Gorski was a maternal, while blue the main obstacle that stands in their way to freedom.
What i loved about the movie is that it really did give me all the things i like in films: hot bodies, explosions, sultry moves, violence, pretty faces, blood, very short skirts, swords, dancers, fantasy, anime, pain and of course music.
One of my favorite parts was the music, but that is far too much for me to type about that, maybe in the soundtrack review.
With the CGI use, the film reminds me of some other great films the look similar: Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow, The Lovely Bones, of course 300 and Watchmen (two films which Director Zach Snyder also directed) It wasn't as tired as some CGI films can get, it was interesting to see the different scenes. I did want more scenery maybe a bit more color, i sort of took the fantasy-reality scenes where the girls have the 4 challenges, I took the settings as similar to levels, like in a video game. Each one was different and unique, with snow dojo, World War setting, castle with fire breathing dragon and futuristic city train. I felt like i was in a really really cool video game, that's another reason why i liked the film. It really gave me that 'anime' dream feel which i love so much.
The film ended in a way i thought was right... with an epilogue ending meant to be happy, though it was emotional and a little depressing; i thought it was honest.
The ending monologue against a black screen was not completely perfect but i realized i did like it.
If you like complex stories with hidden messages and crazy zany actions scenes with hot girls in skirts and lingerie carrying massive weapons of destruction then this movie is for you. I rather enjoyed it, so why wouldn't you??
