Yeah, it's no Pan's Labyrinth, it's not made by an intellectual, that's for certain. I had fun and found it to be very watchable, though I was a bit numb and tired by the end. I appreciated what he was going for.

Okay - I think I'm back to Plan A: Rental, because I'm still not convinced that a big screen will make it better than beer.Comment

I think if I watched it at home I'd fall asleep on the couch, but there's not much I can't say that about.This profile is no longer active.Comment

When I was a kid there was this awesome second run theatre in Fort Lauderdale that had a restaurant/bar in it. You sit at a small table and watch the movie - you turn on a little light at the table and waitresses would bring you stuff. By the time I got old enough to drink it was long gone.
I remember watching "Oh God, You Devil" and "Tough Guys" there. It was great.Comment

They have a Sbarro pizza place and Nathan's at mine. Went to the early show. Slice of pizza, fries w/melted cheese and largest Pepsi. Only 4 people shoed up early for it. Picked a good seat and left this plane of existence for over 2 hours.Comment

I totally didn't realize that half price Tuesdays had returned to the local cineplexes. We've got four dollar movies at the Rainbow chain, but for those, you might as well be sitting at home in front of your big TV.
For me it was a good excuse to get the lads out of their respective houses (since most of us are married and many with kids) to grab some wings/drinks and a movie. Something we used to do all the time, but not so often as we get older. So less for the movie, and more for the good company and goofy comments at the movie's expense. Fun times.
There needs to be more movies like this one and The Expendables. Pure Leave Your Brain Kick'splosions.Last edited by samurainoir; Apr 1, '11, 1:20 PM.Comment

Although as penance, I think some of my bro's did have to sit through Eat Pray Love that same week.
Don't they still have a bar at the Scotia Theatre BTW? We usually got loaded up to bear at Hooters or Milestones prior (before everyone moved out to 905 on me).
Our one friend who couldn't make it to SuckerPunch because him and his wife were going to see Billy Elliot the Musical is not going to live this one down for a while.Comment

Saw it tonight with my friend Todd.
I enjoyed it for what it was, which was a mess of imagery mashed together, but ultimately, it was begging for a plot and characterization. It also felt like it was lacking in humanity; the abuse of women and children was completely over the top.
There were so many story elements and plot holes that bothered me, and those parts of the movie were just so relentlessly unpleasant (pedophilia, sex slavery, mental hospital abuses) that they overshadowed the parts that have should been sheer joy. The visuals of the steam-powered Nazi zombies, giant robotic samurai, dragons, zeppelins, guns, swords, kung ** and girls were all such awesome fun that it's kind of a shame they were wrapped in this craptacular movie.Comment
