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.

Anna Pearce Bitch Media 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. Jan 8, 2021 Full Review Andrea Gronvall Chicago Reader Gun-toting hotties combat assorted villains and their robot henchmen in this tawdry, repellent action fantasy. Dec 6, 2011 Full Review William Goss Film.com Snyder likes to think that his Russian nesting doll of a concept is enough to excuse its hollow center. Jun 29, 2011 Full Review Justin Brown Medium Popcorn 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. Rated: 1/5 Aug 25, 2023 Full Review Brandon Collins Medium Popcorn Despite some incredible visuals and eye candy, this movie executed so poorly and backwards that it's offensive. The actresses were clearly sold a different movie than what was ultimately put on the screen. Emily Browning was greatly miscast. Rated: 1/5 Aug 25, 2023 Full Review Brian Eggert Deep Focus Review Snyder packs on the thematic symbolism with as much subtlety as his three-story-high samurai toting a Minigun can provide. Rated: 1/4 Jul 31, 2023 Full Review Read all reviews

Baby S I love u emily browning Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/17/25 Full Review Isha I One Direction and Sucker Punch Comedy Sci-fi Comedy Psychological Parody girl epic Teen Comedy Action Teen Comedy Fantasy movie 2000s 2010s 2020s Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/15/25 Full Review Mercy H Oh this ate. I really feel like this movie was ahead of its time. It’s a very psychological movie with different realities and leaves the viewer to question whose story are they really trying to tell. I was going into this thinking it was gonna be just another action movie but it’s so much deeper than that. I LOOVEEE IT. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 01/04/25 Full Review Sassy Shannon C This particular ‘sci-fi’ girl-fight movie is on a 1-10 scale=5!!!!!! ONLY…b/c the fighting scenes ARE awesome & sick!!! However? The con? The fact that the movie doesn’t even give you a clear reason as to how the girls even get into the fighting situations that they get in… Other than the fact that they are locked up in some apocalyptic top insane asylum… That’s a short and sweet for you about this movie…. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 12/30/24 Full Review Karl A Sucker Punch is brilliant. It subverts expectations on every level, and exceeds tradtional boundaries of story telling. It's an entertaining acid trip of a movie, with meta-levels of reality-- and un-reality-- that are unique and internally consistent, but it requires the viewer to pay attention. The feel of the movie is like a popcorn flick, so it seems that some reviewers engaged only superficially and totally missed the bus. This movie made me think about it long after viewing, and I still feel the resonance to this day. Worthy of multiple viewings, there are some excellent YouTube deep-dives into Sucker Punch that are worth a watch also. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 12/13/24 Full Review Audience Member My god this is just awful. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 12/09/24 Full Review Read all reviews
