Democracy is a myth
Sucker Pumch 6/10

Good action, average acting.

Rajiv Masand has put into the perfect phrase, "Inception+Charlie's Angels" :D

b/w I just loved the background music of Sucker Punch. I've to have it.

Sucker Punch - First things first, the story was down right pathetic. It felt like a rather cheap modification of Inception's theme. Anyhoo, barring that, the movie was kick-ass. Visuals, soundtrack, action, sound effects - you name it, this movie had it. The pacing of the movie was perfect. Snyder has always used different tones for his movies, be it Sin City, Watchmen or 300. Sucker Punch was no different. Every fantasy world was created with a very different and unique style. His patented use of slow-motion during action sequences was another signature move used to propel the sequences, especially the fight between Baby Doll battling the 3 Samurai's. The first hour was packed with so much action that it was hard to imagine it had more to offer, but it did. Although, the ending of the movie seemed to lack that awe factor, which would have sealed the deal for this movie.

It's a movie which has a very video game-ish feel and would perhaps make a good game too. However, I have to say Snyder really has a great vision for creating a very artistic looking cinema. The switch between camera angles, apt use of slow motion techniques, dark themes, over-the-top (and sometimes memorable) characters and excellent cinematography - these are things which Snyder seems to leave a mark on all his movies. It was a joy ride to another world and felt good while it lasted. Definitely must watch for sure.

EDIT: Almost forgot to mention this, but this question is for the peeps who have already seen the movie, don't you feel like something was chopped off? I mean if you remember the first theatrical trailer, it has some scenes where we see dance sequences & champagne being popped. I couldn't find them in the movie. I'll post the pics, if I can grab it off the trailer. I guess a Director's Cut is definitely due.

SinCity was not Zack, it was Frank Miller written and directed, with, Robert Rodriguez and Quantin Tarantino chipping in as well ...... but I agree it does have the same feel which Zyck gives to his movies .......

Great Review BTW ..... :)

Oh yes, got carried away with the whole set-up. My apologies. ;-)

On a side note, a spot-on review of the movie: Escapist Magazine Review of Sucker Punch

Finally watched The King's Speech. I'd say it's a splendid movie, worth Oscars but comparing with Inception, it's....!! IMO, the Final speech focused too much elsewhere rather than focusing on the King's face.

A Beautiful Mind, is an awesome story, if you are in anyway inclined towards the beauty of Maths, and it's ability to define most of the intriguing things of this world! Its not a boring or sad story, albeit its an inspiring one!
