I have been asked, "So, did you LIKE Sucker Punch?"

And I must respond "both yes and no".

It did exactly what it said on the tin, delivering a very pretty experience with absolutely no redeeming factors outside the pretty.

It was, basically, an hour and a half-long music video.

As great MOVIES go, kinda crap.

As visual art experiences, it was decent-to-good.

In fact, if you watch Kanye West's "Power" video and think "Hmm, I might like 60 times as much of that, but with better music", you will probably like Sucker Punch. There's no characterisation or acting or story there. What there IS is a ton of impressively rendered fantasy action sequences.

I walked in expecting exactly that, and got my money's worth.
