Review – Sucker Punch

Okay, Zack Snyder. We get it. You love to make big, flashy action movies in which art direction vastly overshadows plot and character. As a video game this would be killer stuff. As a movie, it’s a video game. The woebegone heroine (Emily Browning) pops back and forth between three different realities while trying to break herself and a handful of her fellow prisoners out of an insane asylum. Some of the fight sequences are fun, but others are a drag. In particular, I admit to a preference for dragons over riot grrls, which made one of the fantasy bits a real bummer. Overall this is brain dead fun, but the emphasis is on “brain dead.” Mildly amusing
