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 Don Shanahan Every Movie Has a Lesson You've witnessed why Zach Snyder's movies never become revered ground-breaking classics: the stories can never live up to the visuals. Rated: 3/5 Jul 31, 2025 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 Read all reviews

Tina A As a victim myself it speaks volumes to my mental and physical hell. Anytime I feel alone and unwanted I pop in my favorite movie,and remember im not doing this alone and I can n will be strong. I know its not the same for everyone but for me. I was born to be a slave to bend n break without a sound, have no real option or opinion just say yes sir and hold back my tears... so for me I related to this movie after I fought to save myself. For me this is my top all time favorite movie and I hope it can reach others in the same way it dose for me everyday. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 11/21/25 Full Review Audience Member The graphics during the dream sequences were definitely a highlight of the movie. The concept is unique and fun. I loved how the dream sequences seemed to take components from video game logic. The protagonists are smart, skillful, and well-acted. Some characters, like the side-characters, seemed to have little to no character development or backstory. The ending was a little confusing, like maybe they were setting up for a sequel that never came to be. All in all, it was enjoyable—especially from a production standpoint. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 11/18/25 Full Review Idodeclareindeed B It's stylish, dark, silly, fun, and sad but the whole point of a movie is to entertain still right? Is it the outfits? The main characters are smart, resourceful, and sympathetic, and the villains are played quite well. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 11/16/25 Full Review Len L. I loved this movie, oh yeah and one more thing the soundtrack is great too 🔥 Rated 4 out of 5 stars 11/15/25 Full Review Isaac R This movie is a bunch of fun. It is absolutely a try-hard film, but despite that, it's visually stunning and the story, while very shrouded as a narrative, feels evocative. This is a spectacle, not a moving heartfelt story, and even the narrative reflects that. It's still awesome, though. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 11/11/25 Full Review Pedro Henrique C Sucker Punch (2011) honestly I don't know what to say about this movie. To begin with, I was even finding it enjoyable to watch, but that awful ending ruined my experience. Another negative point is the terrible and dark cinematography.
