“Sucker Punch” movie review
As a full-length movie, it made an excellent 90-second trailer. But just look at the picture above; how can I be blamed for being tricked into thinking this movie wouldn’t suck rotten eggs!? Spandex-clad babes with guns, post-apocalyptic hellscapes (I have to pay a royalty to the Tucson Chamber of Commerce every time I use this phrase, btw), even giant killer robots.
How could this movie not rule?
It’s not even worth the effort to count the ways.
Until this alleged film, I had total faith in the director, Zach Snyder of “300” and “Watchmen” fame. But now I see that his talent lies in adapting other people’s ideas, because he apparently has none of his own. Thank God his next film is a re-reboot of the “Superman” franchise, another adaptation sure to be filled with other peoples’ good ideas.
I’m sorry, Nick! Next time I’ll read the reviews, I promise. Or better yet, let you pick the film...

Bert was commenting that you'd want to see this movie and maybe he'd be willing to go with you, even with the 1/2 star. Glad he was spared.

I was hoping to see this film with you but we were in Portland opening weekend. I looked like a three-tissue film to me initially, but it seems that it deserved only one.

I'll be in the market for Man Dates for all the big summer films The Missus isn't interested in seeing...
