Sucker Punch
So, been to see ‘Sucker Punch’ this morning. It was quite telling of the current state of Cinema/Movie go-ers, that there was a sum total of 6 people present for the showing (and the one behind me, may have been a theatre usher…).
Right from the off, this is a very visual/musical movie, a full length video/movie mash-up if you will. Now, I went into this knowing it wouldn’t be strong on story-line, but even as just a bit of glorious ‘pop-corn no-brainer’, it still lacks A LOT.
At times you literally feel like you’re just being dazzled by video game cut scenes, with your ears being bombarded by rock cover-version bluster. With hindsight I feel this movie as a whole clearly lacks the imagination it purports to have, joining it’s apparent lack of characterization, depth, back-story or “heart”.
Cute girls + knee socks + pig-tails + video gaming + shakey cam + rubbish cover version of Stooges ‘Search & Destroy’ = Sucker Punch.
