Easily one of my favorite movies of the year so far. Picking up the BD for sure as the 18 minutes should hopefully flesh out some of the things for sure.

Is it just 18 minutes of up-skirt shots?

i understand that, its normal for the extras to be prepared in advance. i just mean the release is rushed. there's just a slightly over 3 month gap between the theatrical and home video release. i know movies come out faster these days but this is really close. i figured it woulda gotten a august release, july at the earliest.

i remember when dvds came out 5-7 months later, now we're at an average of 4-5 and in some cases like these, 3 months. i get the impression one day it'll be a simultaneous theatrical/home video release. lol

Well, I think that once a film isn't in theatres, it should be out on DVD.  With that said, films aren't in theatres nearly long enough.  I'm beating a well-weathered drum by complaining about Hollywood films being ruled by The Opening Weekend, not being allowed to breathe, and there're folk far wordier about the topic than I can be here so I'll put down my drumsticks.

Easily the film that made me most angry this year, and also one of the most inept films I've ever witnessed through the glory of an IMAX screen.

Zack Snyder had a lot of good will from me before the film began. Less so 10 minutes in. None by film's end.
It's all about rape for goodness sake, and the action is dull, lifeless, limp, the music is just comprised of terrible cover songs, the characters dull, or stupid, nothing works, I mean, ARGH! It makes me angry just thinking about it.

This film was so disappointing. I'd finish this comment, but I just went into a dream sequence.

Horrible, horrible movie. Made no sense from beginning to end.
Extended cut?!?!? Is that so I can sleep longer? Oh boy. What a waste of a blu-ray disc. Just burn the original print. UGH!

LMAO!!! That's really funny!

No, but they are the only two that weren't either butchering a classic comic or promoting racism/homophobia/intolerance of other religions and general doucheyness.

That's funny, because, to me, "that Owl Movie" was by far the most insidious in that regard, with its manichean, mystical parable about a "just war" against the "evil ones".

Good point!

Yeah, I'm just saying I think they will milk people with on-demand prices instead of releasing the DVD/Blu-ray simultaneous to the theatrical release, if things ever reach that point (and I doubt they will). And holy c**p that would be the best marketing ever.

Like what you want and if something interests you, take chances, make mistakes, and get messy.  The worst thing that can happen with you watching something is that you won't like it.  By not watching something, the worse than can happen is that you'll miss out on a film that you'd watch forever.  I'm not saying that "Sucker Punch" will be The Film for you, just don't let critics and the like sway you from watching something you might like.  There're plenty of films out there that're critics' darlings that people wouldn't be caught dead with, and there're some films out there that people love that have critics making sacrifices to their Fellini idol.  And, AND critics have been known to eat crow about a film that they bashed so much (see "Robocop" and "Fight Club".  So like what you want.

Between your Harakiri avatar and your choices of women, I must say that you have immaculate taste sir. Keep up the good work.

This sucks, the director's cut is only on Blu-ray? Assh*les! Guess I'm being forced into buying an extended cut so I can see the superior version of the movie I can only watch on my laptop. *rolls eyes  

The visuals were great but the story was weak. I hope those extra 18 minutes helps.
