Sometimes I really don’t understand the critics on rottentomatoes.com. I know tons of people who completely base their entire movie-watching lives around reviews on the site. For those who don’t know what I’m referring to, rottentomatoes.com is a fairly popular movie review website where movies are given a score based on positive reviews.

Sometimes I find this website helpful, but most of the time I wonder if the site is run by cynical buttholes who are really hard to please. Zack Snyder’s new film, “Sucker Punch” is a case in point. I kicked off spring break by going to see this movie and I thought it was an excellent choice. The reviewers of rottentomatoes.com apparently thought otherwise.

Only 20 percent of 156 critics gave the film positive reviews. I know everyone is entitled to their opinion, and I’m not implying that anyone should stop visiting the website; I’m just giving credit where credit is due.

Now that I am through with my soapbox, I can move on to the movie. “Sucker Punch” is a fantasy action film directed by Zack Snyder with a cast composed of Emily Browning, Carla Gugino and Vanessa Hudgens. To be honest, the plot is weird and confusing, but I believe it is the true essence of the movie.

The film begins with two young girls whose apparently rich mother has just died. Pissed because his wife has left all she had to her daughters, the girls’ stepfather retaliates by raping the younger of the two.

The rape is interrupted by the older sibling, later nicknamed “Babydoll,” who bursts onto the scene with a pistol. She fires a shot at her stepfather and, by mistake, kills her sister instead. Stricken with grief, “Babydoll” leaves her stepfather who immediately has her arrested.

After being blamed for her sister’s death by her rapist stepfather, “Babydoll” (Browning) is committed to the women’s wing of the Lennox House for the Mentally Insane. Being the butt that he is, the stepfather orders her to have a lobotomy; in hopes to erase her memory of what really happened.

The role of the mega douche is thus passed on to the head orderly of the institution, who accepts the bribe to have her lobotomized. Then the movie becomes a complete mind “f.” Instead of the creepy, real-world sanitarium, the environment changes into what is apparently “Babydoll’s” imagination.

The scenery changes to resemble that of a brothel where “Babydoll” and the other patients are exotic dancers. “Babydoll” befriends four other women and devises a plan to escape before the “High Roller”(in reality the doctor who will administer the lobotomy) arrives. Her plan is simple. While she is distracting a “client” with an erotic dance, her friends steal an important and useful item from the client.

The items will help aid in their escape, if they are successful, that is. The film, however, bends reality once. When “Babydoll” starts her dance, she and her friends are immediately transported to a bat-crap insane fantasy world which mirrors what’s going on in the brothel fantasy as well as the real world. This new and more exciting fantasy world involves the girls fighting things such as dragons and Nazi zombies in order to collect the various items.

You can get a good look at a steak by sticking your head up a bull’s butt, or you can just take the butcher’s word for it. Take it from me-this is a fantastic movie. The scenery was amazing and the special effects were intense. I also thought the plot was delivered really well. Definitely check this one out.
