Sucker Punch is a Sucker, but if you like the Punches & can surpass the idiotic story of all time. It's bearable.

SUCKER PUNCH – CATCH IT for (Production Value/Fights/Graphics/Oscar Isaac) & TRASH IT for (Idiotic concept of all time) ( C+ ) Sucker Punch starts with a girl (BabyDoll) losing her mother and in attempt to save her sister from step-father she kills her younger sister and end up in mental asylum. Now the plot is simple that BabyDoll tries to escape from mental institution along with 4 other trapped girls. Now, Sadly Mr. Snyder used his own mind to make it like a blow up "Michael Bay Bayhem". His BabyDoll goes into a fantasy world at her lobotomy that "she is a dancer/prostitute" in a club, now she is trying to escape from this club along with other 4 trapped dancers. BabyDoll fantasies another fantasy world in which she was told that she has to have 5 things to get out of club (Map, Fire, Knife, Key & SPOILER (herself). First of all, why a 20years old girl thinks that she is a prostitute and trapped in a club rather than a psychopath trapped in mental asylum. That's just utterly weird. Secondly, she goes into another imagination in her imagination, I think Snyder was applying the Inception effect over here but it didn't work at all. We can accept that instead of in dirty clothes and dirty mental asylum Babydoll thinks she is in a Club in beautiful dresses and whatever happened in her fantasy club is happening in mental asylum. But we can't image how she goes into another imagination and fights Giant Monsters, Shadow Armies, Dragons and Robots. That's where it spoils everything. The only made me go through all this craziness was the graphics, fights and production value. There is no doubt that somehow studios believed on Snyder weird concept and spend around 80million dollars on this movie with bunch of girls in skimpy clothes fighting and dancing. Emily Browning was perfect as BabyDoll. No doubt she looks stunning but she doesn't have many dialogues and when she gets some it wasn't very convincing. Abbie Cornish (Sweet pea) along with Jena Malone (Rocket) are the only girls who stood out as an actresses, I have seen Abbie and hear about her from time to time but this is the first time I'll remember her and would love to see what she brings to Madonna's W.E. Vanessa Hudgens was awful. She has been good as teen in HSM movies but as an Adult she disappointed again after Beastly. Jaime Chung was okay. Carla Gugina was really good. Oscar Isaac is a star to watch out. I was highly impressed by him in Agora & Robin Hood and now its delight to see what he brings to Sucker Punch. He was some of the good things in the movie. Overall, Sucker Punch is a Sucker, but if you like the Punches & can surpass the idiotic story of all time. It's bearable.
