Suckerpunch!

So I just watched it, and I get it. Zack Snyder wanted to make a film that let us all know what I have known for years: That the only thing keeping us down, keeping us from living, keeping us from being better....it's ourselves. So fight for what you want.

I get it, and I get the metaphors in the movie, and I really enjoyed the fight scene on the train. Would have been awesome in 3D. Sweet Pea is my favorite character...that girl looks GOOD handling an M4!

BUT...

The way he tied the story together at the end, you never really lose that sense of hopelessness he wanted you to feel right after the climax of the movie. And because of that, even though the end is supposed to be a victory of sorts, the audience doesn't feel victorious. Instead, we are left wanting...and what we want is for the villains of the movie to suffer...and they never do.

Also, he tries to pull off this dream within a dream type thing throughout the movie, but that never really comes off that well. It's just window dressing that leaves us all a bit confused. Best leave that stuff to the Inception folks.

All in all, worth waiting for on DVD, if you have a 3D TV it might be better, but I guess I'm glad I didn't pay money to see it in the theater, I would have been disappointed.
