Critics Consensus

It's technically impressive and loaded with eye-catching images, but without characters or a plot to support them, all of Sucker Punch's visual thrills are for naught.

Sucker Punch packs a pretty strong wallop. I enjoyed a lot of it, but I wish someone had warned me that a lobotomy was going to be a major plot point.

Gun-toting hotties combat assorted villains and their robot henchmen in this tawdry, repellent action fantasy.

Medium Popcorn

This was god awful. There was a lack of depth in the female characters so it's just eye candy with some dope action scenes. But without any substance, the gimmicks get old very fast.

Rated: 1/5

Medium Popcorn

Despite some incredible visuals and eye candy, this movie executed so poorly and backwards that it's offensive. The actresses were clearly sold a different movie than what was ultimately put on the screen. Emily Browning was greatly miscast.

Rated: 1/5

Deep Focus Review

Snyder packs on the thematic symbolism with as much subtlety as his three-story-high samurai toting a Minigun can provide.

Rated: 1/4

Once again the "critics" are just lame and boring and seem to have missed the point of the movie. It's a fantasy. It's like trying to compare Shakespeare to Marvel. You can't. The movie is visually stunning and the adventure into different fantasy worlds is an amazing journey, Zach has hit the nail on the head with this suspension of reality and the characters understand this better than the so called "critics" on here. Watch it with popcorn and an open mind, and you will be set free.

Listen. I understand why anyone wouldn't like this film, but for me I LOVE IT. It's on my top 10 no doubt. I don't judge anyone for thinking it's "weird", but for some reason all the "weird" this movie has just makes me love it so much more. It's so creative and so unique. I can't help but admire all the effort and love that was clearly put into this project. It's a 9/10 for me.
