What a coincidence, I was just about to go looking for the sucker punch thread just to read other people's opinons and handily enough someone bumped it for me.
I just saw it, and as a person who had no expectations at all and had not seen any trailers I thought it was pretty good. I think it was something about the music that kept each scene alive, though I would have liked if the action scenes had a bit more to do with the events in reality.

Which was why she showed no emotion when the mental institution was "revealed" to be a burlesque house
Unless you meant it was still actually a mental institution but the orderly sold his patients for sex on the side.
On a more metaphoric less solid note, I assume dancing was just her fantasy for them being smurfed.
