Just out of curiousity, Seeing that this is a failed big budget project
directed by a director with name fame could this be one of the films
that may find it's way onto the final ballot.

Yes,but I think it'd be because it has negative reviews,and because it has a forum here.

Ouch, beaten at the box office by a "Diary of a Wimpy Kid" sequel! Even with hot girls, dragons, sword fights and a metric-f*** ton of CGI, the movie loses to a kids' flick about middle school. That's just sad! Hint, hint, Hollywood, maybe story-heavy movies should go over CGI-heavy movies, just a thought.

All I can say is, when a movie with half naked women gets worked at the box-office by a kids flick, we have to keep it in our thoughts.

If they learn their lesson from Sucker Punch, there will be less movies with half-naked "sorceresses"*... and most movies that involve half-naked sorceresses will not rely on them. I know this is highly unlikely knowing the Hollywood corporations, but I can dream that they'd cut their losses and rethink the beautiful characters. If everything in Hollywood that does not actively seek to get Oscars or other credible awards is done just for the money, then losing revenue should teach them a lesson. What else would it take?
*The slim, beautiful curvaceous build of a woman is most often characteristic of sorceresses, or powerful spellcasters.

And the REAL irony of "Sucker Punch" .... no actual sucker punches are thrown during the movie!

If this movie actually had better sucker punchers, then I would go see not to crap on it.

This movie reminds me of "Ultraviolet", except with triple the budget. In other words, it's hot chicks mowing down enemies left and right, and there's not much else going on.

I liked it. And if putting in "sexy" type people in action movies as the leads is so wrong, why is it that you always see big muscular dudes as the heroes when they're guys? Do you honestly think they're not trying to appeal to women?

I find it a bit unlikely they're trying to appeal to women. Don't ask me why, but people are more likely to take kindly to men with heavy muscles (the "Warrior's build") than even the most attractive women. I can keep on guessing as to the problem with displaying a woman's curves (the "Sorceress' build) in a film, but I wouldn't come up with a good answer. If it were up to me, either all of it would be okay, or none of it would. I didn't invent the double standard of warriors being more accepted and less talked-about than sorceresses.

My theory: Because in action movies, it's like the males in the audience are supposed to want to be that muscley hero dude. Or like in "Wanted", the males are suppose to want to be that lead character who rises from the dead-end job to become a bad-ass assassin and have sex with Angelina Jolie. Women, on the other hand. are supposed to relate to the women in rom-coms, you know, finding the perfect man and career and lifestyle, etc. Worst case movie: "Sex and the City 2", which was just plain superficial and stupid. But women don't go out of their way to relate to other women running around killing things while in school-girl outifits or leather cat-suits. That's just the way it is.
PS: I find it funny that Mayhem mentioned all these old Forum posters not being around, then all of a sudden, we all came back!

The power to turn into a 6 foot tall, muscular, oily, sword wielding Barbarian in a fur thong?
(Sorry, but you walked right into that one!)...
