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.

Gun-toting hotties combat assorted villains and their robot henchmen in this tawdry, repellent action fantasy.

Snyder likes to think that his Russian nesting doll of a concept is enough to excuse its hollow center.

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.

3/5

You've witnessed why Zach Snyder's movies never become revered ground-breaking classics: the stories can never live up to the visuals.

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.

I did not understand this movie at all. Whatever the plot was, it got completely lost in the incoherent storytelling. It was still fun to watch, and there were a lot of awesome scenes, but I have no idea how to feel about this movie, and I had zero attachment to any of the characters or the story. Maybe action, adventure, fantasy, and sci-fi fans will find some enjoyment in this movie, but there are way better movies out there that would be a better use of time. Why this movie is called "Sucker Punch" is beyond me.

Very interesting movie, it is one of those watches where a lot of people just think it is a werid movie but it has a lot of potential. Basically these girls get taken advantage and tortured and now they are getting revenge.

Bastante notable. Me pareció una película muy singular y demasiado visualmente atractiva, tenía que ser de Zack Snyder y es que como pude no darme cuenta antes, creo que no presté suficiente atención a los créditos. Es un largometraje increíble que mezcla muy bien el arte y la acción para traer algo único al espectador. Lamentablemente, parece que el público no la recibió bien, pero para gustos, los colores. Es una película que recomiendo ver al menos una vez en la vida pues, sí bien no te vas a llevar una gran lección con ella, al menos no te vas a aburrir. Muy recomendada.

One of my favorite movies ever. Is just a masterpiece, all the issues like lobotomy, the abuse, also the abuse that we see in the psychiatric hospital. All connected to make us believe that may or not happens when it does, it's just, what a way to make a movie. Alssooo, not putting aside the real deal of the movie, the makeup, the clothing and the action scenes, all in one makes it for me every time.
