Yes...NO! THEY"RE ALL COVERS... WHY WOULD THEY DO THIS ALL THOSE GREAT SONGS! CRAPPY MODERN COVERS FOR "SEARCH AND DESTROY" AND "WHERE IS MY MIND", but have an actual Bjork song in there. Why?kman123 said:
OT:Well, I hate that movie to Hell and back. It makes no sense, and it has no meaning.
You mean having opinions?II2none said:
EDIT: The goddamn fight scenes are boss though.
But yet we ***** when movies or games hold hands too much. God forbid a movie let you make your own conclusions, right? That's too hard.SweetLiquidSnake said:
If it was a comic book I would have flicked through it and called it derivitive wanktastic shit.
Just because it's a movie doesn't make it any better. I love how everyone points out "well Snyder said it's a deconstruction of the male ideal of female empowerment." (or something)
Funny how all the publicity screamed "300 with lady-tits!" and I found myself not really convinced at the end that I was supposed to view those action scenes with some kind of irony. Maybe I needed Snyder sitting next to me explaining what was ironic and what wasn't. And don't get me wrong I like quite a lot of his work but I just wish he could take a break from genre movies for a bit.
Speaking of Moviebob: He has gone on record many, MANY times talking about how action should be handled in movies. It should serve the plot, have clean composition and well realised. I find it funny because when he reviewed this one he must have been looking through steam tinted glasses. It was horrible and in no way should it have felt so murky and badly rendered.
As for the music: it just reminded me of the better versions of the song they were covering.

The movie had "morals"? I found it kind of hard to see any deep meaning in it when the whole film was just an excuse to see stick-thin, Barbie-esque girls with schoolgirl fetishes blowing shit up. It was pretty, that's the only positive I can think of.lacktheknack said:
I thought it was terrible. Boring and dull, and overall i found the entire thing silly and pointless. The action scenes were just lame (for the most part) and the story was just plain dumb. The only thing decent was some of the special effects.
300 was an awesome movie because it was what would be called cheesy, however it played it well and to its advantage, it would be cheesy if it had been filmed in the 1980s with really terrible props/costumes but it wasn't so it seemed good..
The same applies to sucker-punch, they could have put a dragon into that movie and made it look good.. oh wait they did..

R , it was a fun movie not really meant to have meaning or be revolutionary and not to be especially remembered afterwards, the escapism idea was only in there for a stable plot.. The movie is all about giving you OMG moments because it sets off your geek receptors.. not that you have to be a geek to get that though..

May I ask what this surprising twist is?Quellist said:
I've seen the film and all, but if you're referring to
the fact that the main character dies
