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

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

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, 2026
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

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

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

daniel H @RT71425213 Nov 3, 2026 Quite possibly, one of the most underrated movies from its day seriously great visual effects. Great story. And seriously, all around great acting, highly recommended anybody that would enjoy it See more
Mateus Henrique P @RT61910432 Oct 28, 2026 O filme mais cult que já assisti. É uma história sobre crise mental, mas contada no estilo mais geek possível. A Babydoll enxergava a clínica daquela forma. As cenas de ação, cenários, efeitos visuais e fotografia são extraordinários. É uma deliciosa receita que mistura ação de anime e estética de RPG. See more
samantha G @RT75314295 Oct 5, 2026 Don’t get it didn’t even watch it all turned it off. See more
Paul S @PManRager Oct 1, 2026 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. See more
Valeria R @LavenderValerian Sep 25, 2026 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. See more
Robert P @Superbad Sep 11, 2026 This movie is worthy of 2 stars! See more
