EmpireDan JolinMar 28, 2011
Ambitious and visually impressive as a pop-video mash-up, but, lacking a strong emotional core, it doesn't quite cohere as a fully satisfying movie. Read full review

Time OutKeith UhlichMar 25, 2011
Begins in the land of lunacy and ends up somewhere on the far side of deranged. Read full review

Washington PostMark JenkinsMar 27, 2011
An extremely boyish ode to girl power. Read full review

Boston GlobeTy BurrMar 25, 2011
It's a surprisingly joyless mash-up of every bit of fanboy flotsam floating around in its maker's cranium. Read full review

You've never seen a movie like Sucker Punch. And depending on your entertainment preferences, you may not want to. Read full review

San Francisco ChronicleMick LaSalleMar 24, 2011
Though Zack Snyder is known as an action director, he is a genuine artist and one of the most exciting and promising filmmakers to emerge in the past 10 years. His new movie, Sucker Punch - let's just say it - is a failure, but there's so much talent on that screen that the movie can't be dismissed as a waste of time. Read full review

The A.V. ClubNathan RabinMar 24, 2011
Browning has wildly expressive eyes and body language, but she turns wooden when delivering Snyder and Steve Shibuya's alternately purple and stilted banter. Like the film, she seems to regard plot and dialogue as necessary evils. Read full review

Village VoiceNick PinkertonMar 24, 2011
His (Snyder) mash-up set pieces ("Call of Duty" meets "Castlevania," etc.) blend into so-awesome-they're-awful slo-mo monotony, and the awful sisterhood stuff in between makes you anticipate the action as though waiting for the bus. Read full review

The Hollywood ReporterTodd McCarthyMar 24, 2011
Certain to create a gaping divide between generational and aesthetic camps, Sucker Punch is a largely grim and unpleasant display of technical wizardry wrapped around a story that purports to be inspirational. Read full review

VarietyPeter DebrugeMar 24, 2011
Like Quentin Tarantino, Snyder is unapologetic about his influences -- the trashier the better -- though he's far less skilled in the art of pastiche. Read full review
