What to Know

Critics Consensus

It's technically impressive and loaded with eye-catching images, but without characters or a plot to support them, all of Sucker Punch's visual thrills are for naught.

Sucker Punch packs a pretty strong wallop. I enjoyed a lot of it, but I wish someone had warned me that a lobotomy was going to be a major plot point. Go to Full Review

Gun-toting hotties combat assorted villains and their robot henchmen in this tawdry, repellent action fantasy. Go to Full Review

Snyder likes to think that his Russian nesting doll of a concept is enough to excuse its hollow center. Go to Full Review
Kyle Logan Cultured Vultures Feb 16, 2026
From [themes of] women’s agency in a hostile world to the video-gamification of film...it’s certainly trying to do a lot and that ambition is admirable. But what’s more important is that it all just looks so cool. Go to Full Review

You've witnessed why Zach Snyder's movies never become revered ground-breaking classics: the stories can never live up to the visuals. Go to Full Review

1/5
This was god awful. There was a lack of depth in the female characters so it's just eye candy with some dope action scenes. But without any substance, the gimmicks get old very fast. Go to Full Review

Hermione W Apr 28, 2019 This is the worst movie iâ~ve ever seen. For sure! I am still angry about the fact that i spent money on this movie to see it. And i feel sick when i think about the time i lost on watching it! I cannot recommend this movie! See more
Apr 21, 2019 I disagree about there being no plot. The plot is there, its just you have to read between the lines. For most people, they just want a film to entertain them. But I, myself, find entertainment in putting the story together myself. Other movies are just mind numbing, and unless its a series, you can't watch them again and again. I watched this roughly 20 times for the two-three weeks my dad had borrowed it. Getting to the point, the movie isn't for people who don't want to think about it. If someone just wants to watch something for the sake of watching something, or anything like that, I really wouldn't suggest it. But if you want a story where everything isn't just given to you, this is your story. Mind you, it is incredibly fast paced and the ending is frustrating to no end. If anyone says it doesn't have a plot, they really weren't paying attention very well. See more
Draco S Apr 10, 2019 Zack Snyder has a hit or miss track record as of late with Man of Steel and Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice performing below the hopes of Warner Brothers. However, he was also the visionary director behind 300 and Watchmen, two groundbreaking films that were ahead of their time. When he released his next live action film, Sucker Punch, I was more than ready to jump onboard. Little did I know how much I would actually enjoy it. The film was critically panned and failed at the box office though I found it to be a favorite of mine. A steampunk action fantasy, the film is a dream within a fantasy within a young woman's imagination. She lives her life through a series of events that parallel her real life and what she is currently going through. I don't want to give too many details as to what these are. I'll be the first to say this isn't a film for everyone; a lot of people may take issue with some of the events throughout. While it is PG-13, it was closer to an R rating in reality. However if you appreciate a visually stunning world that makes you think and can take you down the rabbit hole, then I can't recommend this enough. "The film includes an imaginary world that five girls enter into and an alternate reality, where singing and dancing take place. The fantasy sequences include dragons, aliens, and a World War I battle." - That pretty much says it all... See more
Hagrid M Apr 7, 2019 Sucker Punch evokes the bad ass in everyone of us. It is such a thrilling experience. A very strange movie indeed but that is what gives it so much flavour. The cast tops it off, we are spoiled with the performances of Emily Browning, Vanessa Hudgens, Jena Malone, Jamie Chung, Carla Gugino and many more. Zach Snyder presents to us: warriors, girl power, strong women, sexuality and brutality. It definitely makes for an extraordinary movie packed with action. See more
Theodore S Apr 1, 2019 I absolutely loved this movie.
Mar 16, 2019 I really liked this movie. The music is great.
