are they similar visuals to 300/watchmen?
More of sin city meets 300. No gore at all though, but it is a pg-13 movie.

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?
I saw it in 2D and enjoyed it thoroughly, but I really wish I had seen it in 3d because looking back, those visuals would have been even more awesome in 3 dimensions.

Look at that picture, the girls have pigtails and lollipops! If you've seen the movie you know about the comments about virginity, and getting home to see your parents.
I've got no problem with the it, but it's clear that the movie is portraying these girls as younger than the actress ages.
Just bc the girls in Glee are really in there 20's doesn't mean the show isn't portraying them as high schoolers, and Sucker Punch is doing the same thing
They portray them as bad arse early 20's women in the movie fwiw.

I've seen the movie and yes while they SAY babydoll is 20, the rest of the movie is spent portraying her and the rest of the brat pack as barely legal if that.

You've got to be joking. Your rights to post on this board need to be removed.

I have seen 20 something year old girls with pigtails before. Also, only 1 girl had pigtails in the movie. Never in the movie did I feel like they were trying to portray any of the girls as barely legal.

would you agree that pigtails is a hairstyle closely associated with younger girls?

If what the movie says doesn't matter anymore then there is nothing to go off of and no sense in arguing.
Who cares if girls in pigtails are typically projected at a younger age. It's a fantasy world were typical logic is thrown out the window. Are chicks typically samurai's or were they typically down in the trenches in WWII? No. That's not what you base things off of with this movie, how things normally are. It's not trying to be normal.

My referencing that aspect of the film was simply to point out to another poster who liked the film but has a problem with the state of underage sexuality in Hollywood today.
The fact that they portrayed the women as "young" (IMO at least) was not the deciding factor in whether or not I liked this move. I have no problem with that aspect of it.

I guess I was just getting confused on your stance. At first it seemed like you were stongly pushing that the movie was.

I believe the movie was pushing that. I just don't care. It would be one of 1000 movies that does the same thing.

Ahh I got ya. Yeah I mean I agree they sold it on the attractiveness of the girls and I dint have a problem with that either. Just watching the movie I didnt think if them as teens though. Early twenties or so, not that that's a big difference. But as far as the movie or plot itself I didn't think it was pushing sex either.

flo floated the idea that my stance on underage sex exploitation (MTV videotaping underage kids having sex and putting that on tv) was hypocritical because this movie was doing the same thing.
HUUUUUUUUGE difference.
and my problem with some of the hollywood crowd is how asshats like whoopie goldberg defend that polanski scumbucket after he drugged and anally raped a 13-year old girl and suspected of further horrible crimes against kids.
no no, instead we have to chase mary jo leterno around ruthlessly as she and her NOW legal-aged boyfriend attempt to hook up and throw her in jail repeatedly.
double standard. why is polanski celebrated while leterno is the sex crimminal? what she did was far..far FAR less heinous.

So Whoopi represents Hollywood? News to me. "Some of the Hollywood crowd" defending Polanski is weak evidence of studios promoting pedophilia.

Really?

How is Hollywood and its filmmakers responsible for society's view of Mary Jo and her boyfriend one way or the other? Has nothing to do with the intent of their films.

I don't think Christopher Nolan is going to appreciate that coming from you.

Doesn't this thread kind of already prove the douchenozzle critic wrong?
Nobody has thought it was that bad, to the point of it being career suicide. Clearly quite a few people like it and thoroughly enjoyed it. So it's atleast not a Last Airbender fail.

the polankski thing has a small segment of supporters and multiple versions of the story
at the time of mary k letorneau (sp), most people thought it was ridiculous and insane (b/c she had a family already and the archetype is the male teacher and young female). but that's somewhat died down, but most people don't really care about the older female/younger male situation
and look at this pic
school girl outfit certainly screams, "we're selling this 20 year old sexually and not school girl sexuality"
