It seems like people either think Sucker Punch is extremely shallow, or a highly elaborate work of art that "you just don't GET, man."

I haven't seen anyone fall in between those two camps. It's always one or the other!




Man. People that think Sucker Punch is a highly elaborate work of art that people just don't "get" really need to reevaluate what art is!

There's nothing to "get," really. It's all laid out in front of you.

There's just nothing of substance there.

particularly Destructoid. More recently, the latter's convinced me to hold off on buying Kid Icarus until a sale comes around.
But it's Jim Sterling.

You should do the opposite of what he says.


Jim's one of the best video game reviewers out there, IMO. I almost always seem to agree with him.

I should probably wait to judge until I actually see the movie, but... I have a feeling those people are the same ones who think Dolan is "subversive and brilliant anti-comedy."

In other words, they're smoking some serious ****!

I thought it was extremely shallow, but that's why I loved it. Sometimes a mindless entertainment movie is great fun. If it had some sort of artsy deeper meaning, it would have come off as preachy and I'd have hated it.
