Awe-inspiring

Rating: 8/10 (14 October 2013)

This movie appears at first glance to be a shallow attempt at parading attractive young women in corsets and other mildly sexual attire on the big screen which, whilst attracting most men, may repel some women. However, first impressions could not be more wrong. If you look past the tiny dresses and the almost Matrix like action sequences this is a multi-layered story, a dark fairy tale almost, it is at times heart wrenching and is a shocking insight into the sexual exploitation of young women and the way mental patients were treated in our hospitals in previous years.
I would put this film up there with films such as Pans Labyrinth and the Matrix and of course its directors predecessor 300 for both story content style and action. Congratulations Zack Snyder.
For anyone who has held back from watching this film because of the way the girls are presented on the posters I suggest that you watch this film as the posters are merely there to attract the men as apposed to tell you the story as that is down to you to find out.
