Sucker Punch
 March 25, 2011
Audience laughter drowned out the ending of thissoon-to-be cult classic of the ridiculous. SuckerPunch is a movie with too many steam-Nazi,dragon-slaying, Samurai-slashing battle scenesspoiling a nice tear-jerker story of five beautiful,insane girls who dress in fancy lingerie anddream of escaping back to Normal-ville.
One Word Movie Review: Bad
Success is a dangerous thing, because you get blank checks to do whatever you want.Bruce Willis learned this lesson withthe dismal
 Hudson Hawk
and now it
is Zack Snyder’s turn to run
embarrassed out of theaters with hislatest movie,
Sucker Punch
. Thesuckers being punched are in theaudience for falling head over geek-heels at the steampunk samurai trailersfor this movie. Many young boys eagerly paid goodmoney to see scantily-clad girls shoot and slash theirway through hoards of Nazis, dragons, samuraiwarriors and robots, feeding their basest videogameerotic fantasies of sex and violence.Yes, there are spectacular scenes of girls with shortskirts, bare mid-riffs and black lingerie cleaving robots

in two and riddling steam-powered Nazi stormtrooperswith hot lead. Yes, there are lots of slow-motionbullets ripping through heads and shiny blades slicingtorsos and limbs asunder. Yes, yes, yes. However, forevery stunning battle scene there are three girls-crying-in-the-asylum scenes which make no sense and build to
the worst ending I’ve seen in a movie since
Stephen
 King’s The Mist 
.It is a shame to see the visually-talented Snyder losehis way so badly, but he crafted this story and has no-one else to blame for blowing $75 million dollars of studio money on this gloomy tale of girls locked awayin their underwear. The only hope for this movie isthat it becomes a much-loved cult movie like
Showgirls
or
 Plan 9 from Outer Space
and audiencescome back in costume and repeat the lines a la
 Rocky Horror
and get into the whole Sucker World of ridiculous fantasy.This may not be so odd to consider in an age where a13-year-old can attract 33 million viewers to a song
 billed as “the worst song ever!”
Sucker Punch
is not
“the worst movie ever” but only
because this awardcontains a large and ultra-competitive field of nominees.
The Story
The story starts depressingly enough with voice-overnarration rambling on about guardian angels watching out
for us as “Babydoll”, our heroine has her domestic life
