Sucker Punch (Extended Cut) [Blu-ray]
Includes 17 Minutes of Intense Unseen Footage!
Born from the creative vision of filmmaker Zack Snyder (Watchmen, 300), this epic action fantasy launches from the vivid imagination of a young girl whose dream world provides the ultimate escape from her darker reality. Locked away against her will, Babydoll (Emily Browning) has not lost her will to survive. Determined to fight for her freedom, she urges four fellow captives - outspoken Rocket (Jena Malone), street-smart Blondie (Vanessa Hudgens), fiercely loyal Amber (Jamie Chung) and reluctant Sweet Pea (Abbie Cornish) - to band together and try to escape their terrible fate at the hands of their captors Blue (Oscar Isaac), Madam Gorki (Carla Gugino) and the High Roller (Jon Hamm).

Sucker Punch deliveres a different experience - rocketride
I had heard many bad reviews of this movie. Now I'm a guy who doesn't always go by the reviews and would rather watch a movie myself and decide what's what. When I threw this in my PS3, I was first blown away by the quality of the video on the blu-ray version. The picture is very clean and crisp!
The movie itself is quite different. It tells the story of a young girl who accidently kills her sister while trying to protect her from their abusive stepfather. The father then sends her away to a mental health facility and from there you are put on a journey of storytelling while entering different worlds of consciousness... The action sequences are well done and very creative.
I can see how this movie got some bad reviews because it isn't a straight forward approach to storytelling but I would recommend checking it out for yourself if you're at all curious about this title.
By the way, the soundtrack really adds a layer to the film!Unusual - Sprock
Sucker Punch (Extended Cut) had a very comic book feel to it, much like Sin City. It is a very surreal film with strong ties to The Wizard of Oz, Alice in Wonderland and Through the Looking-Glass. Zack Snyder almost hits you over the head with this allusion when the song White Rabbit is played. Good movie if you are in the right mood.Ok Movie - sampid
I personally enjoyed the film and I am a fan of Zack Snyder's previous films (Watchmen,300,and Dawn of the Dead). The visuals were pretty much stunning with very few exceptions, but they are easily forgiven and not distracting at all. The acting wasn't anything "Oscar" worthy, but then again it shouldn't be. The performances were very good for an action film and I like it that way. This films definitely attracts the teenage male demographics, who like action packed films filled with hot women. This film, however is not for everyone. Some people might not like CGI, some women might be offended that this film is very shallow, violent, and very degrading towards women.This is definitely the type of movie you'll either love or hate.
