Here's an early review of un film de Zack Snyder (300, WATCHMEN) SUCKER PUNCH:

Actually liked Snyder's Canadian redo of George Romero's DAWN OF THE DEAD.
I missed 300 in theaters--fell asleep in a hotel room when watching the edited-for-TNT version.
WATCHMEN was a combination of brilliant and what-the-heck-was-that moments.
Didn't bother with the CGI owl cartoon.
SUCKER PUNCH no doubt will have the caffeine-for-the-eyes visuals and bam-bam-bam violence (within PG-13 limitations) of Snyder's earlier work.
But it gives one pause when the reviewer linked to above resorts to the "turn your brain off" cliche--which sounds like a bit of punch-pulling to keep from losing access to future WB cinematic amusement park rides.
