Movie Review - Sucker Punch



Movie Synopsis - Sucker Punch
Movie Trailer - Sucker Punch

It was Jas 2nd time watching this movie. She really like the soundtrack. She highly recommend me to go watch the movie and write a review on the movie. Actually, I heard about this movie for quite some time already. The name is really catchy. Even after watching the movie, I do not know why is it called Sucker Punch. But, I have to admit that the name Sucker Punch is a really good name for the movie. Somehow I feel the name is really suitable for the movie.  

Just as the movie started, I knew it was a Zack Snyder movie. His style of directing a movie is just so original. The concept of the story is very unique. It uses an imaginary fighting/combat scene to represent a dance scene. This idea is very new to me.
On the whole, the movie was okay. Nothing much to comment on acting and script. The whole new concept of the movie is captivating enough to make me sit through the whole movie even though I was very tired after work. Well, I did yawn once or twice but I have to admit that those sci-fi fighting scenes were quite nicely done.
There is only one particular fighting scene that I didn't enjoy. The scene where they fought the robots in the train. I can't see anything at all. I only see flashy lights and light reflecting iron robots moving. The whole scene was too bright. I can't see how they kill the robots and the whole operation happen so fast. The scene was kinda hasty. 

The girls were hot especially Jamie Chung. I like her skin colour. The heavy make up really makes Emily Browning looked like a baby doll. Blondie was kinda redundant. I don't see why her character was needed. They can just combine Amber and Blondie. The sisterhood story between Rocket and Sweet Pea were straight forward. 

Overall, it was a good movie.Nothing much to complain about and also nothing much to boast about except for the interesting concept of replacing dance scene with fighting scene. By the way, it is also a movie filled with moral values.

I rate it 2/5. A daring new concept for movies.
