Sucker Punch

your picture triggers me

It was my first encounter with Snyder shakeycam, and it made me want to barf, and not metaphorically. Ironically, everything but the action sequences was a really good movie, and the action wrecked it.

I'm in the camp that saw Sucker Punch & immediately decided Snyder was a creep & haven't watched since.

Absolutely horrid movie

One of the worst in a long time

does the girl have any sex scenes

what a qt

I thought it was pretty good, and I'll definitely never understand why it's considered ideologically vile by some people whereas Joss Whedon's brand of "Petite Women Kicking Ass is Feminism" is unimpeachable.

>>82041404
yes. metaphorical sex scenes.

>>82039824
No, it's trash.

>>82041508
possibly because that's a false equivalency that only seems valid due to how reductive it is.

Great more autistic Snyder apologists. I fucking hate this board.

No one is forcing you to stay here Mr. Reddit

No, and I won't open the links. Saw it once and it was horrible. I think the premise could be done well but it fucking wasn't.

Because the larger fantasy scenes had nothing to do with what was going on in the real world.

As far as the ideas behind the mental asylum and the dance studio, that was all fine and dandy. But Snyder went and acted retarded with the mega action scenes which did look kinda neat, but without it relating to the real world it just had no weight.

The entire movie really depended on those mega fantasy sequences being entertaining so the failure to make them work really helped solidify Snyder's reputation as a shitty writer even if he is fantastic about directing action scenes.

the action sequences are weak in context and out of context though. and even when there are some stakes behind the action sequences, snyder's direction falls flat.

>>82039824
Oh boy, video titles in all caps. Guess I was wrong about this film, it's a fucking 100/10 uberkino classik

>>82042716
Your reasoning is off but your conclusion is correct.

>>82039824
It was a great movie about female empowerment. If it was released today the left would be praising it and it would probably win an oscar

True, which was my mangled point I was trying for.

The basic story and how it was directed was great, but the action sequences meandering and having nothing to do with reality (like having enemies being metaphors for something they're facing) made it so none of it mattered to audiences.

But it looked cool. All of it looked really really neat. Which is where the direction came in and did well.

What Snyder sucked ass at was the writing since everything came across as an excuse to get to one of the action scenes and he couldn't be bothered to come up with reasons for anything he put in.

its about mind control

Making an awkward, tacky, uncomfortable shit-flick isn't excusable because you were doing it "ironically".

Everyone got the metaphor, it's just that the metaphor was crass and poorly executed.

>But it looked cool
I say the action sequences were trying way too hard to look cool, thus ending up being the opposite. Which is basically everything snyder has done so far.

>>82043405
I try making a point to not connect directing with writing or editing.

>>82039824
DUDE RAPE ANALOGY LMAO

>>82041508
It's considered ideologically vile because it was marketed as a series of fun inter-dimensional action sequences with sexy women, and whilst the sequences themselves are played like enjoyable Hollywood blockbuster scenes the actual film is fundamentally driven by distasteful scenes featuring the rape, imprisonment and abuse of said sexy women, implying that the abusive stuff is appropriate for a fun PG-13 action flick.

In short, if Snyder was looking to make a harrowing allegory for how much nerd media exploits women then he shouldn't have had so much fun making the sexy fantasy sequences.

I was going to post this. Glad someone beat me to it.

Amazing jerk off material but nothing else

Man, I remember being excited for a Snyder movie after 300 and Watchmen.Sucker Punch was a such a huge disappointment for me. How can one director be that much of a hack?

>>82044902
i dont follow your logic, 300 and watchmen made you hyped for his next movie but then you realized that he is a big hack? does that mean you dont like 300 and watchmen anymore?
