I agree with most the things she said but I would've liked to have seen more character development. We had a glimpse at the lives of Rocket and Sweet Pea, but Blondie and Amber we know nothing about. Sure they were minor support, but I wanted to at least know why they were there.

I agree. I think the movie could use more backstory (at least something) on the other supporting characters.
Hoping for more backstory on the DVD! Kinda bummed Amber didn't get more screen time. Sure she's a pilot, but she couldve gotten out of her machines to fight on foot a little... Seems like wasted training.
The Transformers 2 thread was more fistfight than debate. And I bloodied my knuckles more than once.
As soon as I saw the first commercials for Sucker Punch, I had an idea what the reviews were going to be like. And Rotten Tomatoes didn't disappoint.
I haven't seen it, I don't plan on seeing it, and that's all I have to say about that.

To defend Michael Bay just a little bit, I think he can be a fairly solid director, but he just knows making a $300m gross high-budget/event movie requires no effort. I stand by Bad Boys 1, 2, and The Rock as pretty fucking good action movies.
Bad Boys is too awesome. I think Mike's mom loves the movie more than anyone I know haha
Compared to everything else he's done those movies are almost minimalistic.
I'd agree up until about Bad Boys 2. Fuck that movie.
Ok, the movie is logically over. Thank God. Man, I've been in this theatre seat a long time. Hoo, gonna grab my jacket.
MOVIE:WE'RE GOING TO CUBA FOR FORTY MORE MINUTES!
Shit.
This answers a couple questions: http://screenrant.com/sucker-punch-spoilers-discussion-benk-107573/ 
I hate your opinion and you by extension but this is a really good point. A lot of the modern 'action' directors have confused "MORE" with "BETTER". More cuts, more explosions, more swearing, more loud music when tension isn't necessarily a function of speed. I compare the original zombie concept, a slow, monolithic unstoppable menace that we were scared of because "Fuck, they're going to keep coming and there's nothing I can do about it." to the modern reincarnation (hah) that is basically cracked out meth addicts on a sugar high. M Night Shamalamabananarama best scenes were slow, steady tension-building and atmospheric, Some of the biggest jumps I've had were in movies like Signs where the children are videotaping and someone's screaming in the background and a fucking alien walks across the street in front of them. There was no jump cuts between 6 different camera angles and a crushing score on top of it.
American Beauty, which I thought was an excellent film with an 'el retardo' ending (That's spanish for you, Messicans), had Sam Mendes use long, floating camera movements towards the dinner table with explosive results. It felt real, so it added power. If you want to entertain, that's one thing, but if you want to entertain and effect, you have to add some way for the audience to either empathise or at least pictures themselves in a similar situation.
I freaking loved Sucker Punch and actually not only agree with heatherling that it had an "inception-y" vibe going on (I think there's actually 3 levels, not just 2) I literally said it out loud to Morphine at the theater. She loved it too, by the way.
You people take your movies (and what people think of them) WAY, WAY, WAAAYY too fucking seriously. It's a movie with nazi zombie robot soldiers and giant mechanical samurai being fought by pretty girls in revealing clothing. If you go in expecting more than that, you're the moron, not Snyder. That being said, I think there's a pretty solid message of solace for victims there. But HEY WHAT DO I KNOW I LIKED SUCKER PUNCH I'M DUMB BLOOP BLEEP

I'm really tempted to make Amber's dancing costume, except I'm afraid to make a corset and can't possibly afford to buy a real one. >.< We'll see!
I'm also tempted to make Babydoll's sparkly costume (ooh, shiny!) because it's just that pretty that I'd wear a blonde wig.

kinda match the wall o text I put out in my spoiler sectionThis answers a couple questions: http://screenrant.com/sucker-punch-spoilers-discussion-benk-107573/
If only there was some kind of button you could push that would create a new thread that you could entitle "Rango!" BUT HEY WHAT DO I KNOW I LIKE THIS THREAD SO I'M DUMB BLOOP BLEEP
Why would you want to change this? This is awesome. It's
This movie was dumb and anyone who likes it is dumb
versus
These action scenes were great and anyone who didn't like it ruins movies by analyzing them and having standards

to be fair, there are many crowds and reason to watch a movie.
Sucker Punch
To be intellectually stimulated by the movie: Maybe. This does have some debate, but you have to see all the layers and actually want to think about it. Not many do.
To be amuse by the movie: partially. There are scantly clad women which are nice to see, but the fight scene to some might not be "up to par" to other action flicks.
Is it a feel good movie? nope! it is not one of those, happy ending movie.
Is it Artsy? Yup. The style they use and the way the movie is represent is very artsy. I told people that if you don't appreciate abstract type movies, then this is NOT a movie for you.
Then get out of this thread and make one for Rango. Easy.
Sounds like Nick's prom night.

To each their own mate
I don't presume to understand other people's thought. I still haven't figure out how does the English Patient got so many awards. I can't watch that without falling asleep each time (I try to watch it in cable)
