Very Good

Rating: Null/10 (6 April 2011)

I had been anticipating the release-date (march 25th 2011) of the new action-adventure film "Sucker punch" for weeks after my friend Stefan had showed me the trailer on the video-site Youtube.
Between watching the trailer for the first time, and actually going to see the film, I had probably watched it about ten times. (And then about the same amount again when the second trailer was released) It seemed that every time I watched it, I picked-up on some small unique difference than I had missed previously. Whether it be an extra zombie-samurai wielding a triple-barrelled rail-gun or another massive fire-breathing dragon ready to dole-out another inferno-sized fire ball ready to engulf the four leading characters in the film.
On the subject of the actors, the four that appear in this film aren't the typical burly "its time to kick ass and chew bubble-gum, but i'm all out of gum" male actors. In fact, they aren't men at all.
The four actresses "Baby-Doll" (Emily Browning) "Sweet-Pea" (Abbie Cornish) "Rocket" (Jena Malone) "Amber" (Jamie Chung) and "Blondie" (Vanessa Hudgens) were very good and in fact much better than the standard shown by similar actresses in similar roles.
Probably the best thing about sucker punch is that it draws on so many other great action-adventure films for inspiration. For example, the dragon sequence where a massive dragon awakes and makes its wrath know, is reminiscent of scenes from "Dungeons and Dragons" whilst the scenes of steam-punk Nazi zombies are a good reflection of the popular pop-culture reference of Nazi zombies in such films as "Dead Snow" and "Zombie Lake".
Overall, I would recommend this film to anybody that loves action-films and games and geeks alike.
