A great action movie to watch!

Rating: 8/10 (9 May 2013)

I watched this movie two years after its release mostly due to the low IMDb score. Usually this metric is a good indication of which movies to avoid, but I think "crowd judgment" fails in this case. That's why I wrote my first ever review for this one.
Sucker Punch is a action/fantasy movie. And if you view it as just what it is, then this is a great movie. Zack Snyder creates powerful images and action scenes that had a hidden choreography. The camera is distant from the actors and traditional acting is intentionally minimized. It's a bright new concept of action movies, quite different from many similar ones and I expect to generate polarized emotions and critics. It's a movie to love or hate, but definitely not an average one. Zack Snyder doesn't emphasize on characters and on faces. Acting might seem a little stiff, but my guess is that it is intentional and doesn't affect the outcome.Sucker Punch is all about images and action. With such images it could be a great movie without even a scenario (and we all have seen great action movies that have almost no scenario), but surprisingly the scenario is smart and I loved the idea of a dream within a dream.
Overall I loved the movie and I think is one of the most underrated ones here!
