Below is the teaser for Sucker Punch, the latest from Zack Snyder, the world’s best music video director. It looks like what’d happen if Casshern had sex with Sky Captain and all three of Charlie’s angels and then they got in a fight with Reign of Fire—in other words, like something that could either be fucking awful or like something that I would love, provided I got really stoned before the press screening. Eh, whatever. At least there don’t appear to be any adorable baby owls* in it. So far.

*There’s nothing wrong with dreams. Just in case you were wondering.

With honor and distinction, Erik Henriksen served as the executive editor of the Portland Mercury from 2004 to 2020. He can now be found at henriksenactual.com.

  1. But it looks like it might be more entertaining than Casshern, Sky Captain and Reign of Fire combined. Those movies had some good trailers, though.

  2. @ tk.: Whoa. WHOA. Say what you will about Casshern and Sky Captain, but back the fuck off of Reign of Fire. Reign of Fire rules.

  3. That’s a great breakdown. I was wracking my brain for all the CGI clusterfucks that trailer paid homage to.

    There are also distinct notes of Mutant Chronicles, which, as far as I can tell, was this movie without the dream/burlesque framing, and with Ron Pearlman instead of hot chicks (a casting decision history will probably not be kind to).

  4. @Erik: Maybe I just need to give it another shot, I came into it late. For a movie about fighting dragons with helicopters and all, it didn’t seem terribly exciting.
