re: Sucker Punch. The most fun I've had at the theatre in a long time.

if you don't think teen girls wearing skimpy clothing and trying to be hot was a major selling point of this movie, then i don't think you're being honest

if u read what i wrote i had no clue what the movie was about going in..hell i hadnt even seen the poster. the girls were bad-asses fighting monsters and zombie germans. skimpy dresses? sure..but isn't that every movie?

and i must have missed where they were all supposed to be underaged..clearly the star was portraying that..but the other girls looked like 20-something women. i did miss the first 5 minutes or so because i was late so not sure if they made more out of the girls being supposedly underaged. clearly the actresses themselves are in their mid to late 20s and i never got the impression they were supposed be 15-year olds flying jets and controlling robots.

eta and the sex was implied..they kept saying the girls would be required to entertain the high roller when he came..but aside from the fat cook trying to attack one of the girls, the film was mainly just violence. the closest thing to a 'sex' scene was the asian girl sitting on the mayor's lap and she didn't even kiss him.

they are clearly portraying younger women. The whole virgin commentary, the sister telling Sweat Pea to escape and go home to their mother.

yes but hot sexy young girls is clearly what they are trying to sell.

1. Why the frick didn't the Baby Doll character say anything to the female doctor or "the higher roller"

---

i missed the beginning and was confused about the high roller thing the whole time..was he the doctor at the end? did they ever show him?

2. The dancing thing was fricking stupid.

yeah but 'army of me' providing the soundtrack as they jumped into the fight with the giant japanese samari warriors was pretty dang cool..but like you pointed out..could have just been a music video.

Damn. I guess I'll just have to rely on you to let me know when pedophilia is in the mind of a producer or director.

Why would that be the case when the youngest girl of the whole group was stated as being 20?

---

Haven't seen the movie.

I mean sure sex appeal was a draw of the movie but pedophilia is a but of a stretch I think

---

I'm pretty sure I wouldn't think pedophilia was part of the movie. I'm just giving CAD a hard time because he thinks Hollywood markets it.

So if I don't watch this movie in Imax am I wasting money? How about if I watch it in 2D and not 3D?

What is the line where there is no merit/fun factor to seeing the film?

This movie is career suicide

The guy who was given the keys to DC's biggest intellectual property will no longer have a career because some random snobby a-hole didn't enjoy this movie?

I use to think Armond White was the dick, but frick me sideways he is starting to look like the sane critic. Hell Sucker Punch made a dream within a dream far more interesting and appealing than Inception did. They also threw in some hot arse broads to boot.
