All hovering around the age of 14.
x2 (Abbie Cornish is 28) While she may be 28, she's and the rest of them are dressed up like they're 14. I'm six months away from 40. Considering how much shit I got for dating a 21-year-old when I was 36, even watching this movie for the hotties in schoolgirl uniforms factor officially puts me in  territory with lots of people that know me. |
Tuned in, immediately get to watch cringey Ubisoft talking head offering her deepest sympathies to the families impacted by the Orlando shooting while flanked by a man in a giraffe suit and some sort of "horrifically garish neon costumes through the ages" exhibit or something. We need to stop this fucking planet right now and sort some shit out. -Kail

The schoolgirl thing puts me off this for similar reasons. I don't get the fascination with girls in school uniform - it always seems dubiously creepy to me. |

As logical as any other female. The trick is to think the way they do, and use their own rules against 'em.  |
The past cannot be changed. The future is yet within your power.

Well despite having all the dvd boxes and liking the first film, she hated Sex and the City 2, so under her rules, I'm fairly sure it was all somehow my fault.
I'll stick to trickery, I got her to see Kick-Ass which she enjoyed, so figure I'll come up with a way of comparing Sucker Punch to that or maybe tell her one of the girls in this is having an affair with Jamie Oliver.

It's a story about five women in a hospital who become friends, face trials together, and stick with each other no matter how much life tries to bring them down. Perfect chick flick.  |

Man, that's going to be Street-Fighter-Bad (TM) and not just because there's no girl under 30 that's a remotely decent actress.
I can't wait.

These kinds of discussions remind me of how lucky I am to have my wife. She loves sci-fi, fantasy and action movies. She loves video games. She has less tolerance for chick flicks than I do. |

Saw the trailer for this one at the theater the other day. Started off thinking "omg what is this boring girl-in-an-asylum crap". Ended up thinking "omg I have to see this movie". The wife was not impressed  Though she liked Kick-Ass, so maybe there's a chance. |

yeah, sorry. I scanned the first page of Movies and assumed there wasn't a thread. Should have done a search. Feel free to trash this one :) |

I'm with Schild, this looks like shit. It looks like a collection of cutscenes from a game I wouldn't play.

I'm not...but I will watch this for the imagery: attractive younger females, bad ass weapons, bad ass bad guys... I am not looking for an Oscar winner, nor am I looking for much of a story, just straight visceral imagery. It's the only thing that I can think of which could have made Transformers movies that much money. |

The trailer made it look more fun than 3/6 Star Wars films. You guess which ones! |

In all the time you've spent on these boards, did you somehow miss the two big forums devoted to MMO's and other video games? The 70+ page T&A thread (the most posted in thread in Serious Business, not to mention the fact that the Britney Spears thread is still #3)? The pre-release Avatar nerdfight you yourself were a part of? The fact that the top movies we've discussed here in this forum are all Sci-Fi movies or comic book adaptations? YES WE ARE ALL SIX FUCKING YEARS OLD! Embrace it or gtfo. |

I like how the movie pretends to be based on something a hawt girl thought of, when in fact it's still base masculine desire driving the entire flick.
It's like if the Matrix was actually formed by Merv instead of the Architect. You'd know the shit aint real, but you wouldnt care 'cause it'd still get you off.

This movie will do for feminism what 300 did for heterosexuality. |

Careful, you're giving me "Scott Pilgrim/Kick Ass/Serenity/every picture The Internet has rooted for in the last five years, etc." flop vibes. Still haven't seen any of those three, or even finished watching Firefly. Or Snakes on a Plane for that matter. The trailer I watched looked like dumb fun with 300-esque Zack Snyder visuals and hot girls strippers with guns and dragons. I'm not expecting cinematic masterpiece that will provoke meaningful thought. I plan to wait 6 months, torrent it when it comes out on DVD/BR, watch it, and then if it's fun enough to warrant re-watching, I'll buy the BR. Of course this could be shit like Clash of the Titans or Inglourious Basterds, but it's not like I have anything invested in it. What I said about the trailer compared to SW remains true, though. Still, even those 3 shitty SW films all had reasonably good trailers. |

This. Sucker Punch is geek wank fantasy, not mainstream action fare. That's why it's debuting in March and not June or July. No one expects it to be a blockbuster but morons. |

I thought it was a great fun cheesy movie and most non-nerd people I know liked it as well. Scott Pilgrim was fucking stupidity on steroids. (I mean there's nerds and then there's I'm a white boy with a Japanese/Anime fetish nerds. You dont make movies for the second group, at least not ones you hope to be commercially successful) |

What are you, fucking six? "Critics who treat adult as a term of approval, instead of as a merely descriptive term, cannot be adult themselves. To be concerned about being grown up, to admire the grown up because it is grown up, to blush at the suspicion of being childish; these things are the marks of childhood and adolescence. And in childhood and adolescence they are, in moderation, healthy symptoms. Young things ought to want to grow. But to carry on into middle life or even into early manhood this concern about being adult is a mark of really arrested development. When I was ten, I read fairy tales in secret and would have been ashamed if I had been found doing so. Now that I am fifty I read them openly. When I became a man I put away childish things, including the fear of childishness and the desire to be very grown up". |

The fact that this opens in two days and there isn't a single review on rottentomatoes does not bode well. They either aren't screening it or are embargoing the hell out of it.
