Sucker Punch

"Like Quentin Tarantino, Snyder is unapologetic about his influences -- the trashier the better -- though he's far less skilled in the art of pastiche."

"Ultimately, Sucker Punch will appeal greatly to the core audience it wants - the fanboys and fan girls who'll get their geek on over the utterly amazing action sequences."

"Little more than a sizzle-reel for Zack Snyder’s wettest dreams, what it lacks in consistency it makes up for in chutzpah. Just imagine if it had a decent story..."

"There is nothing here to enjoy, beyond the tiny satisfaction in noting that the movie lives up to its name."

"A lot of noise and bluster..."

"Feeble fanboy fantasy"

"A wonderfully wild provocation - an imperfect, overlong, intemperate and utterly absorbing romp through the id that I wouldn't have missed for the world."

"Certain to create a gaping divide between generational and aesthetic camps, Sucker Punch is a largely grim and unpleasant display of technical wizardry wrapped around a story that purports to be inspirational."

"Ambitious and visually impressive as a pop-video mash-up, but, lacking a strong emotional core, it doesn't quite cohere as a fully satisfying movie."

"It's a hazard of this job that I get to sit through trailers and previews for months before any film has actually opened, and since February this one has been assaulting my eyeballs with ever more delirious promises."
