I was going in expecting light hearted entertainment but the sexualization and bleakness of it all left me emotionally drained. :(Alex Schroederhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17104864340940538702noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28751902.post-11676222932971915712011-03-27T16:40:41.816-05:002011-03-27T16:40:41.816-05:00sirlarkins: Yeah, I agree.

It'd almost have been better, I think, if they'd dropped the whole institution/brothel angle, and just have had her hit her head, a la all the old flash-back episodes you used to see on TV in the '70s and '80s, or "The Wizard of Oz." But again, I think they wanted more emotional heft to the flick, and their reach exceeded their grasp.trollsmythhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01895349218958093151noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28751902.post-24470946200649246282011-03-27T16:25:16.752-05:002011-03-27T16:25:16.752-05:00Yeah, I'll be saving my "geek movie"...Yeah, I'll be saving my "geek movie" ticket for when Your Highness comes out in a couple weeks.<br /><br />I do find it funny that there was some effort made to plausible reality in that regard alone, considering how detached from any sort of reality or plot the rest of the movie seems to be.David Larkinshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04133630988557116729noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28751902.post-75709485866946914322011-03-26T17:23:41.354-05:002011-03-26T17:23:41.354-05:00seaofstarsrpg: Yeah, I went in ready to ignore wha...<b>seaofstarsrpg:</b> Yeah, I went in ready to ignore whatever lame plot ZS served up and just wallow in the over-the-top visuals. As far as that goes, it wasn't as good as I'd hoped, but it delivered what I felt was promised by the tailer. So yeah, not a good movie, by any means, but I'll offer a categorical recommendation to those who can appropriately set their expectations.<br /><br /><b>sirlarkins:</b> The baseline reality requires a patriarchal hell in which a wicked stepfather can consign a girl to spooky, run-down mental institution where there won't be too much oversight and were an orderly can forge documents to arrange a lobotomy in a week's time. Hence, the pre-70's baseline reality.<br /><br />But really, if this sort of thing bugs you, you shouldn't see this film. Worrying too much about why a girl from the '50s is hallucinating about mini-gun armed mecha mowing down the steam-powered zombie soldiers of the Kaiser is affording this movie far more brainpower than it deserves, or is even required to enjoy it. It's far better approached in the same spirit as "Fantasia" in terms of making sense of any sort of overarching plot. ;ptrollsmythhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01895349218958093151noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28751902.post-54521103319028741622011-03-26T15:58:11.668-05:002011-03-26T15:58:11.668-05:00I'm 99% sure I'm going to skip this one, b...I'm 99% sure I'm going to skip this one, but there's one thing that's majorly bothering me having not seen it: is there ANY reason the movie is nominally set in the 50s? It would have been interesting to explore a 50s-style fantasy world, but it seems like everything is almost over-the-top 21st century imagery, from the fan service to the costuming to the hair and make-up. Any insights for the uninitiated?David Larkinshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04133630988557116729noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28751902.post-62821941424001683022011-03-26T14:36:47.690-05:002011-03-26T14:36:47.690-05:00Your opinion of the movie is along the same lines ...Your opinion of the movie is along the same lines as mine but considerably kinder . . .<br /><br />http://seaofstarsrpg.wordpress.com/2011/03/26/review-sucker-punch-movie/Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
