Wait for Sucker Punch: The Extended Director's Cut (with an extra 18 minutes)

Rating: 6/10 (9 April 2011)

I saw Sucker Punch last night at the theater and while I was impressed by what I saw, I couldn't help but feel that something was missing. Parts of the film seemed rushed and what I felt was the best part of the movie, the character development and interactions in the brothel and even the earlier part in the insane asylum seemed unnecessarily brief. Also in the credits at the end of the movie we got a glimpse at dance numbers that seemed rather elaborate and where obviously meant to be in the film (you can also see parts of them in the movie trailers).
After getting home I decide to do a search online to see if there was any plans to release an extended director's cut on Blu-ray, and to my (not so) surprise, yes indeed there are. Before the film even came out there was plans to release an extended director's cut (with an extra 18 minutes) on Blu-ray and DVD.
I saw a couple of interviews with the director Zack Snyder, where he talked about a director's cut on Blu-ray, and the trial and tribulations of getting the film released with a PG-13 rating at the theater. I also saw a comment from Deborah Snyder (producer) that states specifically that there will be a extended directors cut on Blu-ray and DVD. From there comments I also got a sense that all the extra scenes that I wanted in the theatrical version will be in the director's cut (including more action).
So my suggestion is if you want to see the definitive version of Sucker Punch wait for the Extended Director's Cut and even if you where less than impressed with the theatrical version I would suggest checking out the Extended Director's Cut when it comes out.
The theatrical release I give a 6 out of 10, but I believe that an extended director's cut will more than likely get a 8 out of 10.
