1. Impressive effects, but mixed messages about women.
2. Oh, what an endless, punishing, unholy mess this film is. I would have preferred a foreign language without subtitles to the dialogue in "Sucker Punch."
3. I think Zack Snyder just thought of the craziest things he wanted to see in a movie, so he did it. That's what artists should do. Now it turns out to be some metaphorical fantasy and that's cool too.
4. Zach Snyder has attended the Michael Bay school of filmmaking and graduated the top of the class.
5. The movie is a head trip of the most awesome kind -- one I can't wait to take again.
6. where Snyder failed was in using too much to do too little, even though he had the right balance between the two in his grasp the whole time.
7. It provides sporadic seconds of splendid eye candy separated by minutes of muddled exposition and flat acting.
8. It's a film made with serious purpose and serious skill but so utterly, irredeemably geeked out on itself that you simply cannot take it seriously - not if you want to get the most out of it.
9. [A] cacophonous, half-digested mass of pop-culture influences.
10. [The] mash-up set pieces blend into so-awesome-they're-awful slo-mo monotony, and the awful sisterhood stuff in between makes you anticipate the action as though waiting for the bus.

What is a brief summary of the following reviews?
It's technically impressive and loaded with eye-catching images, but without characters or a plot to support them, all of Sucker Punch's visual thrills are for naught.
