This is the movie that positively screams, “Vanessa Hudgens still has a career!” Remember her? The dour-faced girl that bangs Zac Efron? Yeah, I had to Google her, too. (I’m kidding; I did not have to Google Vanessa Hudgens. I have High School Musical posters all over my bedroom, duh!)
Sucker Punch, the latest creation directed by Zack Snyder, features Hudgens, Abbie Cornish (who used to date Ryan Phillippe), Jena Malone and Emily Browning, among other notable actresses, and this was the movie that Vanessa Hudgens was referring to when she said she was doing a project that involved physical training by Navy SEALs.
In all honesty, the trailer doesn’t completely blow, and Emily Browning in A Series of Unfortunate Events totally rocked my world. Maybe Vanessa can finally shed that pesky High School Musical thing and become a real actress. You saw what Footloose did for Kevin Bacon’s career, am I right? That fucker’s got his own six degrees of separation.
Anyway. Will you see this movie?
Neither Vanessa or Abbie interest me in that “Oh _______ is in that movie, I HAVE to see it!” way. I don’t even recognize the names of the other two so-called notable actresses.
I’m not saying I wouldn’t see the movie, just that the actors wouln’t be the reason I see it.
Is it a comedy? What is the plot?
I just checked IMDB and the plot for Sucker Punch reads as follows:
“Sucker Punch is a movie about little girl who is trying to hide from the pain caused by her evil stepfather and lobotomy. She ends up in mental institution and while there she starts to imagine alternative reality. She plans to escape from that imaginary world but to do that she needs to steal five objects before she is caught by a vile man. Story is set in 1950’s.”
Sounds…..pretty dumb. No thanks.
I’m looking forward to this. I particularly like that VH is the closest it comes to having a “star” in the cast, although all of these other women have proven themselves to be very good actors. This is an ensemble peace, an action film with women. This will either be terrific or bad and I’m not seeing anything bad so far.
The plot summation Paige posted didn’t make sense to me, so I Googled. I got this off of teaser-trailer.com -“Set in the 1950s, the story follows Babydoll (Emily Browning) who is confined to a mental institution by her stepfather, who intends to have her lobotomized in five days. While there, she imagines an alternative reality to hide her from the pain, and in that world, she begins planning her escape, needing to steal five objects to help get her out before she is deflowered by a vile man.” It still doesn’t make sense to me. It looks like if you’re into special effects and don’t care much about story development or acting, you’ll like the movie.
I’m really looking forward to this… I think this is Vanessa’s chance to prove that she can do different things and that she does have talent! I will definitely see it, so please don’t hate on the movie, just yet and especially Vanessa… Give the girl a chance to prove herself!
wtf was that?
Will suck
