Quote: Born from the creative vision of filmmaker Zack Snyder (Watchmen, 300), this epic action fantasy launches from the vivid imagination of a young girl whose dream world provides the ultimate escape from her darker reality. Locked away against her will, Babydoll (Emily Browning) has not lost her will to survive. Determined to fight for her freedom, she urges four fellow captives – outspoken Rocket (Jena Malone), street-smart Blondie (Vanessa Hudgens), fiercely loyal Amber (Jamie Chung) and reluctant Sweet Pea (Abbie Cornish) – to band together and try to escape their terrible fate at the hands of their captors Blue (Oscar Isaac), Madam Gorki (Carla Gugino) and the High Roller (Jon Hamm).

the little girl from Lemony Snicket really grew up...
The visuals were great but the story was weak. I hope those extra 18 minutes helps.
The DVD art is better than the Bluray art. Lame.
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
AMAZING Movie. First day purchase.

But seriously, this film is visually gorgeous. But a prime example of a film that is empty, predictable, overly formulaic and pretentious. I was very excited to see this film too.
Personally I enjoy Zack Snyders style of filmmaking. Watchmen, Dawn of The Dead and even 300 are entertaining films. Sucker Punch is empty. I do not care what happens to the central characters, the dream sequences make me check out of the film (especially by the 3rd one) and by the end of the film I am checking what the time is.

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.

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.

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!

Magnolia and IFC have been releasing movies on demand alongside their theatrical releases for a while, and from what I understand its a pretty successful business model.

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!

Are you currently being raped?

It's not all about rape (granted a lot of it is).
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.

Heck, the two films share the same initials and Snyder even wrote the artbook for "Sucker Punch". I wish Wright had an artbook for "Scott Pilgrim"...
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 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.
I just noticed how unintentionally funny the blu-ray cover is, but really, that description sums up the movie so I guess it is appropriate.

I can't wait. I hope that the Blu-Ray's extended cut has everything I'm expecting in it. Movies like this are exactly why I now do Blu-ray.

but its pretty funny how quickly this is hitting home video..damn. dont get me wrong, i'm one of the few who loved this but its still funny and sorta sad. i figured a july/august release at the earliest. lol

Awesome that the extended cut is coming out the same day as I will definitely get it. 18 minutes is a lot more substantial than most extended cuts.
Yeah.
We can hope that one of major retailers will have an exclusive DVD, like what happened with "Terminator: Salvation" (Target offered a two disc set with the director's cut).

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. I would've added "warmongering," but that theme follows through to these two films as well.
Still, they're enjoyable as f**k, and Sucker Punch--despite it's flaws, among which were the annoying/generic visuals that everyone seems to have loved--does have a relatively good message. Relatively, mind you. I'm not saying you should take the flick as a life lesson.

so let me get this straight. their putting the extended cut on bluray & just theatrical on dvd? what kinda c**p is that? i loved the theatrical version yes but i was really hoping the extra mins would be released on dvd as well. that really makes me mad.
Hmmmmmmmmmmmm, can it be salvaged by those 18mins?
I remain cynical, I will check it out before decrying it,(not the internet thing to do, I know), despite hating the theatrical cut.

No extended cut on the standard DVD? the Hell WB?
i guess that new picture and updated info answers my question. lol
i love the extended cover, that was my wallpaper for the longest time. i bet had the movie been more successful, they woulda made a slipcover for each girl. but hoorah, it comes out the same day as the theatrical...i seriously was fearing the extended would come later on its own.

I really enjoyed Sucker Punch. And, with an additional 18 minutes added only makes it better. It hopefully means more story, character development and action. And, let's hope they don't dub over Vanessa's F-bomb. Don't get me wrong, I don't need cursing in my films to enjoy them, but I loved that line and hope it's in its full glory in the blu-ray extended cut. Lastly, I like the cover, but I hope it's just a slipcover with the real pic underneath of all the girls.
I thought this movie was pretty average. The visuals were outstanding, but that's it. There's no character. A convoluted story that in the end is just too much to take in, which ends up becoming uninteresting, and the movie loses its way. However, the extended cut does sound tempting. Hmm, might pick this one up.
I really wanted to see this movie, but none of my friends were interested in going. I'll definitely be getting this on Redbox to see how good (or bad) it is, since I heard very mixed reviews about it.
Extended Cut? Are you kidding? This was bloated and terrible enough. There is no need for more!
I'll check out the extended edition even though I didn't like the theatrical version
This didn't look like one of Zack Snyder's best films but I'll eventually check it out as a Blu-Ray rental.

According to Snyder himself, some of the most outrageous scenes were left out even prior to the shooting, or shot but never finalized (meaning no CGI enhancements), and only a big box office success would have made financially possible to include those.
So, lacking the funding for a real "Director's Cut", this is just an "Extended Cut" with whatever was excised because of the MPAA or the control groups tests.

I agree with Aark, what does this mean? there will be another future versión of this movie?
I'm curious to see how the Extended Cut turns out, but I'm worried that even an R rated cut can't save this film.
Quite looking forward to seeing this one again.

Wonder why its called Extended Cut rather than Directors Cut, considering that Snyder constantly referred to it as his Directors Cut in interviews
Given the difference in Blu-Ray and DVD times I guess it is the Directors cut. Its 127mins Blu and 110mins Dvd.
Can´t Wait, this it´s just what I was waiting for, an EXTENDED EDITION! AWESOME!
Thats a great cover. Cant wait to pick it up
I'm joining the surprisingly high amount of the seemingly few who liked this--it wasn't a masterpiece, but it was entertaining with a good feminist message.
One of the seemingly few that loved the movie. Will definitely purchase the Director's Cut.
