Appears it will open on March 25, 2011. Looks fun, I haven't delved much deeper than the trailer so i cant speak for how good a story (or perhaps lack there of) but the ninja war-lords, and things blowing up, and the heroine's makes me want to see it.

I'd like to see the girls in Sucker Punch more nude. I think this at least looks like something different, and I'm looking forward to it.

I had seen the trailer for this some months ago and completely forgot about it until this week when I started seeing tv spots for it. Really looking forward to this one.

Me too. I find Snyder a bit hit and miss. I didn't think much of 300, but I thought he did a fantastic job with Watchmen and I think he'll do great things with Superman. I skipped the creepy owl movie. This looks like fun, but it smells a little of letting a director do whatever they want. Which can be great or disastrous, depending on what the passion project happens to be.

if snyder manages to get the characters working was well this will be icing on the cake

I'm there day one. Hopefully the film delivers what the trailer promises.

I also hope that the film is successful, for two reasons.

1. To show that films of new and odd material can do well.

2. So that fangirls will dress like the ladies in the movie for halloween and Comic-Con :Yellow_Flash_Colorz

Really? I've heard overwhelmingly positive things about that movie.

Yeah i really didn't like it, the animation was so gorgeous, so if you're a fan of fantastic animation you shoudl give it a try, but the story is so flat and generic, it's eragon all over again but this time with owls instead of dragons (but not as bad as eragon)

It's lacking dragons, and it's still better than Eragon? I may have to see this Owl movie now.

Internet Advertisement: "Prepare yourself for Sucker Punch."
Me: "Wouldn't that defeat the point?"

i think it's awesome that the movie is only referred to as "that owl movie" really "Legends of the guardians: the owls of ga'hoole" is just overkill for a title

I heard that there's a review embargo on this until the release date. This is not a good sign.

It'll probably be one of those cases where it is good for what it is. If you think you'll like it based on the trailer, you're probably right. The general non-nerdy public might feel differently, but they already made up their mind about it anyway. This one is kind of critic-proof.

Saw a screening tonight...


This movie was summed up pretty well by the person walking out behind me. He said it was like Zack Snyder had a whole bunch of ideas to put into a movie but didn't really have an idea of what to do with them, so he took some lame plot and tried to make all those ideas fit in there somewhere. Didn't really work at all.

To me it was kind of like watching one of those music videos that kind of, sort of, has the makings of a story, but not really, but it at least looks cool. Problem was, it went on for almost 2 hours. There were songs blaring throughout almost every frame of this film. There was absolutely no tension during the action (the music was a big contributor to this), and the "plot" holding all those pretty scenes from the trailer together is barely explored and lacks any of the emotional depth and pathos needed to make the audience really care what happens to these people.

This is turning into a disappointing year so far. Thankfully, most of what I've seen has been free. This is probably the worst movie I've seen recently (at the theater) though. Just ugh.

Saw a tv spot for this the other day that said that it was "Kill Bill meets Inception". I loved the Kill Bill movies but hated Inception so not sure what to make of that. :lol:
