Man that prison looks like every other softcore Cinemax female prison movie I've ever seen.
I had also hoped one day Zack Snyder would get over his fetish for slow motion/fast motion cinematography. Totally passing on this one. Looks boring and stupid.
Yea I saw it and it wasn't all that great. Awesome visuals, cool music, but I still wouldn't say it was anywhere near great. I would say that if you're just looking for some action movie entertainment, then it's certainly a good movie to watch.
I need more than a young hot chick to make a film good these days i guess.
This is my problem usually. Not to mention the money that's spent on movies these days to over-stylize them yet they can't seem to justify the expense of having adept screenwriters. Granted,I haven't seen the movie yet, and maybe I place a bit too much faith in movie reviews from particular sources. But I'm gonna bet I'll be disappointed anyway when I illegally, I mean, legally acquire this film for myself and watch it.
Sometimes I think people expect too much out of movies this day. I was going to school for film but I changed majors after I found I was no longer enjoying movies on an entertainment level. After all, this is what movies are for, to entertain. If you focus on every little detail and every aspect of anything, you will find flaws in it. No movie is going to have the best fight scene, original plot, natural and intelligent dialogue, beautiful graphics, superb cinematography, and perfect editing.
I personally just like to sit back, relax, and enjoy. The only thing that kills movies for me is blatant oversight that even joe schmo could recognize. (Like in transformers when they learn that megatron was going to destroy earth but the wait for him to start moving before shooting him. Wait....wait....wait...ok now hes moving, let's try to kill him now. :facepalm:)

Maybe they do. I certainly don't expect much out of movies. I simply was making the point that I see so many movies spend millions of dollars on special effects and ways to stylize themselves, yet no one seems willing to invest in improved script writing. The Star Wars prequels to me are the best examples of this. You don't even need to nitpick that movie to see all the laughably obvious flaws and plot holes in the script.

Nor do I expect the very best in any one of these things. But I'd like for not all of them to be the worst. Yes, it's my opinion of course what is the worst, I realize that. And I also understand a movie is meant to be entertaining first and enlightening second. But I definitely give movies credit for being both.

This is kind of my point. Lazy scriptwriting. Yet so many hours and money is put into making the movie as visually dazzling as possible. To me though they aren't even that anymore. Since when are special effects even special anymore? These days they are so standard in movies that we just sort of take them for granted now.
True. This is not to say that every movie is good. Just that some people are way to harsh on judging them. Everyone is entitled to their own opinion on what they like and don't like and what they find entertaining. I just prefer to take the entire entertainment industry for what it is, entertainment. If the movie was better than me staring at a blank wall for two hours, to me it was a good movie. However, there are some that I would've chosen the wall

I certainly don't begrudge other people the right to their opinion when it comes to movies. But maybe for some people the fun of movies IS to scrutinize them because when so much manpower and money goes into a thing then yeah some of us do have certain expectations.

I miss when movies were also considered a form of art and not just entertainment. I say this as someone who actually despises the art community, yet I still feel that way about movies. But then we'll just go in circles debating that cause what is art anyway if not subjective.
Although I hate when people over analyze art as well. The more you have to think about the art, the worse the art is. It should invoke a feeling naturally in you, not an analytic debate. Again, just my opinion

And I understand this opinion of yours to a point. Sometimes art has that effect on me as well. It just invokes a simple emotional reaction and that is effective. But for me, a movie being the length that it is and full of multiple imagery, sound and music, just the feeling it invokes within me is usually insufficient. And the best movies for me that achieve good art and entertainment are the kind that I can discuss at length with people.
I love discussing movies. I don't mind seeing movies alone, but I hate having nobody to talk to them about. This is why I am waiting til thursday to see sucker punch with my friend. If you ever want to discuss a movie, feel free to message me

I'm fairly easily pleased in terms of movies. I tend to not be the over judgmental type unless it's pure garbage. That being said...this guy directed 2 great films(right?). I loved Watchmen and c'mon, 300 was badass. So I'll see it.

I'll admit if not for the movies he directed, I would not go see this movie. It seems like it's going to have a terrible story and bad acting.

I'll watch this (only coming out tomorrow) soon and enjoy it simply because I'll have friends to talk to during the apparently boring bits. I love a movie with a good story, especially if it's confusing or simply terrifying (looking at Silence of the Lambs, Clockwork Orange...). Visual appeal can definitely cover a bad design too though, for me at least, and this movie looks like it might pull it off, even though after reading a review I'm already confused with the seemingly no sense making story...
Cyborg Nazi Zombies... Dragons... Orcs... Chicks kicking their ass...
That sounds so awesome...

It's all been said. The pun, the not so funny joke, the phrase, something about oneself, the not so random picture.
Idk about you guys, but I thought this movie was AWESOME!!!!

If you want to arrange it
This world you can change it
If we could somehow make this

Or even a stranger
And to know who needs help
You need only just ask
The soundtrack was AMAZING and I find it sad that the critics TRASHEd the movie...
