Zack Synder hasn't done anything worthwhile since Dawn of the Dead. Sucker Punch looks like its trying too hard to impress. It'll probably be really dumb and forgettable.

I'm interested in seeing this movie.
I made a thread for this a little while ago. http://forums.eyesonff.com/lounge/13...ker-punch.html
I'm curious as to what pissed you off in that trailer.Originally Posted by Dreddz

The trailers show off all kinds of pizazz, but I don't have much faith that it has much more than that. Hollywood usually only chooses one. Compelling plot. Excellent visuals. This seems to have went a little overboard on the visuals, so I have my doubts about the plot. Plus there's a comic book. And I rarely really enjoy comic book movies
I don't think the plot is a focus, from what it looks like it's a lucid, fantasy adventure.
As for the visuals I think they are effective for representing that this is lucid, dream like, fantasy. And I might say males are more drawn to this than females. Because males are apparently more visual in nature and not only is the cast full of attractive females but the movie has stunning visuals.
Of course, there are exceptions, as noted on this forum already.
As a comic book which uses vivid animations to tell the story I think there is a predisposition towards telling the story that way. Though, I'm not a Sucker Punch mythos fan. I am not aware if there's novels, with in depth story lines. Likewise, I never really looked through a Sucker Punch comic book before.
Aha, a moments search dragged this up.
I don't see anything wrong treating this material in this way, very visual and vivid as it's meant to be that way.
I think the problem here may be that Hollywood may set out to make one or the other, visual or a movie with a great plot. There's nothing wrong with that, it's just if it suits the film or not in my opinion. You might be wrong, off base, if you criticize a fantasy movie for not having enough plot when it's meant to be a little disjointed and flighty.
Just watched the trailer, it's full of alpha waves more than anything else. I don't see any reason to see it differently and look at it with theta waves or anything.
If you have expectations, without reading the comics then that's your fault.
And, maybe you have. For all I know though, comic readers think it looks faithful. I wouldn't know.
The genres present in this film, from the images/ trailer are pretty obvious. Action, fantasy, suspense, psychological thriller (FAVORITE), and maybe a few more...I sort of know what I want to see and it seems to have it offered.
I read comics, collect them, but I am not a Sucker Punch fan. I know mostly generic comics.
What's a generic comic?
That is exactly the vibe I got off it. Alice in the Matrix
It's not just a shallow attempt at pandering to testerone, the idea that a female can be strong and yet retain her extreme sexuality has been an idea touched on by some Neo-feminists. I remember when I tried to write for strong female roles and I was criticized by women for my characters not being sexy enough. Of course, that could have just been because women are insane and only say whatever it takes to contradict you at any time. Or not.
I find it interesting you say that you're told it's pretty good. Meaning you haven't seen it. Personally, I've heard remarks from fans of the source material that the movie didn't do it justice and that a lot the plot seemed to be missing. Of course, I personally liked if not loved the film because I'm a bit of an action freak.
Funny. I only need to name one: Nicholas CageAlso I see no problem with the casting of Vanessa Hudgens. I can name a dozen or so actors and actresses that starred in a number of bad movies and then made a string of good ones.
I kind of felt that Toy Story 3 didn't really try hard enough and my parents (who are easy to please) agree. And naturally TS3 doesn't need sex appeal to pander to children (or the child in us all).
Someone on these forums once complained about the lack of plot and storytelling in the Transformers movies. I explained that the movie's meant to be an action-romp so there's really no need for such things. That same person returned to argue that the movie had too much plot and not enough action. I swear to GOD, some people just want to criticize a movie and don't really know what the hell they actually want.
Your post implies you liked the Transformers films. I'm afraid this means I'll have to disregard the rest of it.
"Excuse me Miss, do you like pineapple?"
Also this movie is based off a comic? which one? I googled it and didn't find it. Didn't even have a wiki page.
My post merely implied that I'd had a discussion with a child in man-diapers.
LOL, depression man. I just meant pop cultural comics. And I was told by others, heard that it had a comic. I couldn't find out about it either.
I'm pretty sure it's not based off a comic.
My bad. The place I downloaded the trailers from had a bunch of art for it that all looked like comic book covers. So I assumed that was the case considering how in love with comics Hollywood is these daysI'm pretty sure it's not based off a comic.
Yes, it's entirely Vyk's fault. Glad we got that all cleared up.I thought it was a comic movie too.
