Sucker Punch Movie Review (Urgo’s YTO 34 Day 332)

by Urgo on March 29, 2011

Sucker Punch is a movie that got reviewed so harshly by the critics I knew I just had to see it and it turned out to be well not amazing but not too bad! If you think of it more like a music video then an actual movie it was actually quite engaging. The special effects were pretty sweet the story wasn’t horrible. I liked how they had sort of three different worlds that lived inside the main characters head.

Anyway while I wouldn’t recommend you go see it on imax like I did per say I’d still recommend giving it a shot just don’t expect an Oscar winning movie. 🙂
