I’m not going to lie to you, there are many things that make Sucker Punch make my film gland drool more than Ashley Cole around bar skanks. Sure, it is a film filled predominantly with girls not wearing a whole load of clothes, but that would be shallow of me were it the only reason. The fact that the storyline basically takes place entirely inside the head of an already slightly unhinged girl as she awaits a lobotomy in a mental asylum also adds a hell of a lot of interest points, and add to that the director was the guy behind 300 (and Watchmen, though I didn’t like the latter as much) we can already be assured that the visuals will be truly inspired.
Still not sure? Let’s throw some other words into the mix shall we? Dragons, Samurai Warriors, big guns (and big ‘uns), space trailer, burlesque, war trenches, kick ass robots and more dragons! It has it all!
Watching the trailer (below as normal) it is quickly apparent that on the visual score, the film hits the mark, it looks flippin’ brilliant.
There are also some nice teaser posters to give you an idea of the characters involved, shamelessly nabbed from Empire Online.
