With 300 and Watchmen, Zack Snyder developed a reputation as a director able to meld action with big visuals. Sucker Punch flushed that cred down the drain with an overblown splatter of colour, boring action sequences and borderline perversion in its version of the female action hero. That Snyder is a talented action filmmaker with a great visual eye makes this failure of a concept/fantasy/movie even worse.
