Glass Half Full

Rating: 5/10 (2 April 2011)

Zack Snyder's Sucker Punch has amazing visuals, and music that drives the scenes really hard. However where the movie falls short is the story. The story appears to be a well thought out script with fantasy worlds, and alternate realities, but it never really gathers any sympathy towards the characters.
It was cool to see an action film filled with girls doing awesome moves and taking out the bad guys. But after the first action scene the fighting got kind of stale and repetitive, 'OK another slow motion back flip and shooting the gun while upside down.'
Perhaps it is with the success of 300, and Watchmen that has set the bar so high for Snyder's films, or the comparing of which makes Sucker Punch fall short.
This is by no means a bad movie, just not as good as one might expect from the likes of Zack Snyder.
