I just finished watching Sucker Punch and my expectations were mixed. On the one hand I have not read one favourable review for the movie yet; it got pretty much stomped by most professional reviewers. On the other hand, I saw an average imdb score of 6.5 prior to starting the movie. Due to the professional reviewers' bashing, I expected an average of 4.x or worse. Seeing the 6.x slightly got my hopes up,
Now, after watching the movie, I cannot understand the whole "love-hate-thing". It's a visually excessive over-the-top action movie with an average plot and barely clothed attractive women in the lead roles. It didn't amaze me, it didn't offend me. Every single aspect, from acting to special effects is solid. Watching Sucker Punch entertained me. As with 90 % of box office releases, I will probably never watch it again, but I don't feel the necessity for a shit storm.
Maybe you can enlighten me: why should I love this movie or hate it?
