What to Know

Critics Consensus

It's technically impressive and loaded with eye-catching images, but without characters or a plot to support them, all of Sucker Punch's visual thrills are for naught.

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. Go to Full Review Andrea Gronvall Chicago Reader 12/06/2011
Gun-toting hotties combat assorted villains and their robot henchmen in this tawdry, repellent action fantasy. Go to Full Review William Goss Film.com 06/29/2011
Snyder likes to think that his Russian nesting doll of a concept is enough to excuse its hollow center. Go to Full Review Kyle Logan Cultured Vultures Feb 16
From [themes of] women’s agency in a hostile world to the video-gamification of film...it’s certainly trying to do a lot and that ambition is admirable. But what’s more important is that it all just looks so cool. Go to Full Review Don Shanahan Every Movie Has a Lesson 07/31/2025

You've witnessed why Zach Snyder's movies never become revered ground-breaking classics: the stories can never live up to the visuals. Go to Full Review Justin Brown Medium Popcorn 08/25/2023

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. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

Jaoo G @Jaoogigliotti 6d That's the kind of movie you end up getting attached to, haha. I like it! See more Sander K @RT04883266 Aug 6 Its a crap. Meaningless See more pipecanon T @RT13867156 Aug 3 One of the worst movies I saw. Even the marketing at that time of the movie was a hoax. I remember that they only showed the action scenes in the trailers like saying: "look an awesome action videogame like movie, come to watch it" but when you were at the theather it was only a girl in her imagination. I wasnt never disappointed like that in my live with a movie. See more James E @JamesE167 Jul 16 This is a great action movie, but an okay empowerment movie. The unsaid dialog doesn’t do nearly enough to establish itself, but the action is a lot of fun. See more Jacob W @Jacob617 Jun 30 My dad showed me this when I was 8. It was weird then and is even weirder now. Isn’t the main character who’s dressed like an anime girl supposed to be a kid? See more lilah . @RT60321050 Jun 27 honestly just loved everything about this movie See more Read all reviews
