much more than expected

Rating: Null/10 (30 June 2011)

the trivial moviegoer won't get Sucker Punch... they'll say it lacks a plot or character development, is one long music video, is nonsensical fluff.... a lot of negative stuff...
the intellectual philosopher who sees film as a canvas to present an artists view of the world will be able to see much more.... the alternate reality within and alternate reality / dream state view of life struggle and personality perspectives is very rich in this movie... as with most deep movies, it is open to a great deal of interpretation... for those who wish to see more... it's a great journey.. and happens to be very fun at the same time... especially if you see the uncut R version which adds some significant depth to the story.
There's a genre class of directors attacking big questions with visionary work of late... Aronofsky and Malick's new stuff comes to mind right away... if Snyder continues this direction, I'll look forward toward everything he does....
