This was god awful. There was a lack of depth in the female characters so it's just eye candy with some dope action scenes. But without any substance, the gimmicks get old very fast.

| Original Score: 1/5 | Aug 25, 2023

Despite some incredible visuals and eye candy, this movie executed so poorly and backwards that it's offensive. The actresses were clearly sold a different movie than what was ultimately put on the screen. Emily Browning was greatly miscast.

| Original Score: 1/5 | Aug 25, 2023

Snyder packs on the thematic symbolism with as much subtlety as his three-story-high samurai toting a Minigun can provide.

| Original Score: 1/4 | Jul 31, 2023

Sucker Punch packs a pretty strong wallop. I enjoyed a lot of it, but I wish someone had warned me that a lobotomy was going to be a major plot point.

| Jan 8, 2021

Here, Zack Snyder seems to have let adolescent fantasies and video game spectacle conquer the plot.

| Original Score: 5/10 | Nov 30, 2020

Has there ever actually been substance in a Zack Snyder film?

| Original Score: 1.5/4.0 | Sep 24, 2020

Gross and skeevy, not to mention painfully long and repetitious.

| Original Score: D | Jul 12, 2020

By the time we reach the largely predictably dark ending of Sucker Punch I was fairly begging for my own lobotomy.

| Jul 26, 2019

Misogyny disguised as empowerment.

| Original Score: 2/4 | Jun 7, 2019

The worst kind of bad film -- a lazy one that never seems concerned about anything more than cashing in at the box office.

Full Review | May 8, 2019

Snyder manages to demonstrate both his undoubted strengths as a visual artist, as well as his obvious shortcomings as a profoundly flawed storyteller.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Feb 16, 2019

Sucker Punch is largely a disappointment. We are told within the film what is intended, but that intention seldom translates to something that we can see and/or feel.

| Original Score: C- | Feb 16, 2019

The film doesn't live up to the exciting spectacle of watching a steam-powered mech with a cute little kitty painted on the front mow down a giant zeppelin.

| Original Score: 6/10 | Nov 4, 2018

Sucker Punch offers a perfect portrait of storytelling gone wrong. Even the movie's attempt to comment on the problems of storytelling goes wrong.

| May 23, 2018

... just plain bad.

| Oct 24, 2017

This is unfiltered Snyder and either you love him or you hate him. This film doesn't allow half meassures. [Full review in Spanish]

Sucker Punch is an example of what happens when creativity derails. It's a sensory overload of utter garbage on every level possible.

| Original Score: 2/10 | May 3, 2013

Snyder was aiming for more than an action-packed popcorn flick -- making it hard to ignore that the filmmaker, much like Babydoll, temporarily lost his footing in reality.

| Original Score: 2.5/5 | Oct 2, 2012

If it wasn't executed with such panache it would probably qualify as one of the dumbest movies of 2011.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Sep 28, 2012

While the visuals are quite impressive and go a long way towards helping the film, it's just not enough to recommend that you take the time to see "Sucker Punch."

| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Sep 21, 2012
