Sucker Punch on the telly. I know the reviews were terrible, but the premise has always intrigued me. Yay or nay?

Yeah, definitely worth a look.

Yay, in the extended/director's cut edition.  You have to be able to take stuff to the 2nd degree though, something most cinema critics are unable to.

[celedhring]

I doubt they will be showing the extended edition, but I will give it a go.

WWI, mechas, schoolgirls, and zombies. Why I have never thought of that?

Not nearly enough halucigenic drugs?

[celedhring]

Well, it's an interesting idea but it's not particularly well told. The wacko action sequences are fun, but sometimes they just feel too gratuitous. I wish they explored more the relationship of what happens in the fantasy with what happens in reality - like they do in the last one, [spoiler]where one of the girls sacrifices herself both in the fantasy and in reality[/spoiler]. I also wish they did away with the brothel fantasy, or at least we saw more of the asylum before we jump to the brothel.

Anyway, an interesting failure.

Ah, didn't know you were talking about the sequel.

[Josquius]

Sucker punch is terrible.
Even plots with layers and x represents y isms doesn't automatically make a film decent.

[Eddie Teach]

Sucker Punch is great eye candy.

what?

[katmai]

don't what me, what sequel are you talking about?

[Admiral Yi]

don't what me, what sequel are you talking about?

I'll what you all I want. 

I thought there was a sequel to Sucker Punch which went straight to DVD, and that's certainly what Celery suggested with his comment about "the last one."

Clearly you watch not enough fan-service-y anime.
