Once again I’m here talking about Zack Snyder. Look, I’ve seen all of his films and I think he’s a pretty decent director. The Dawn of the Dead remake was pretty decent, though as I understand it most zombie film fans consider it to be inferior to the original (I wouldn’t know). 300 was okay as a whole but it looked pretty damn cool. Watchmen, being based on one of the greatest comic books every written, was pretty good although I didn’t like the ending (And my reasons are apparently different than most comic nerds). I gave Legend of the Guardians an average review, but it wasn’t a bad film. Bottom line is that Snyder is a pretty good director capable of producing entertaining films.
Which brings us to Sucker Punch.
I had been looking forward to this film for a while as the promotional images and trailers made it look pretty over the top, which was fine by me. However things started becoming suspicious within the last few months. As Snyder was flagged to direct the latest Superman film rumors started spreading around about the horrid nature of Sucker Punch. Basically according to the grape vine test showings of the film were so unbelievably bad that Warner Bros. was seriously considering pulling the plug on the Superman project. Now I can’t be sure how true any of this is but it did make me a bit nervous about the quality of the flick. Well I have just watched it and, as it turns out I had pretty good reasoning for being concerned.
Full review after the jump.
