Your the Sucker if paid to see this movie

Rating: 3/10 (22 September 2011)

So this movie got destroyed on Rotten Tomatoes. It currently enjoys a 22% rating. Is it really that bad? Yes and no. Visually the movie is amazing. Zack Synder did an amazing job bringing this movie to life and it's a worth a watch just for the visuals.
Where this movie falls apart is with a confusing and overly complicated plot. It's just really difficult to follow what the heck is going on in this movie. This is not a casual watch. It demands your attention and if you drift off you will surely be lost quickly.
In a nut shell, the plot revolves around Baby Doll (Emily Browning) who is placed in a mental ward after she tried to kill her abusive step-father. While she is in the mental ward she plots her escape with some of her fellow inmates. The one weapon that she has is that when she dances, she places her captors in a hypnotic state. Once that happens, she enters a dream state where she is a powerful warrior. With the help of her friends (inmates) who also enter the dream world she has to complete various tasks to help her escape. If she completes the task in the dream world then she completes the task in real life. Confused? That's because it's confusing as hell.
What could have been an interesting film gets dragged down by a crazy plot that's difficult to follow, and not really worth the effort if you do manage to figure it out. Unfortunately, I have to agree with the critics on this one
