I'd have to be pretty brain-damaged to expect anything meaningful from a movie with the marketing campaign this movie had.

I didn't really like this movie at all. Everything fell apart the second she was brought to the mental institution and all of the imagined realities started taking place. I really enjoyed the first scene of the movie and there were bits here and there that I really liked but it just didn't add together at all.
With that said I loved every minute that Amber was onscreen.

The short haired girl was a cutie.
So, saw this, really bad movie! Had some really great imagery though. The use of music was verrrrry bad; it's kind of like how somebody REALLY WANTS YOU TO LISTEN TO THIS ONE SONG and it has all kinds of personal significance for them, you listen, and it kind of falls flat without that context? Snyder put his "inspiration mix playlist" in the movie instead of handing it off to a composer, and we all feel awkward as a result.
I wonder what the same movie with a female directing/writing the non-action scenes would have been like?

Except they wouldn't have wrote it? Sometimes collaboration works sometimes it doesn't. 300 was terrific because it had unedited, in your face action. It was stylish and faithful to the source. But old Franky wrote that. Zack just had to adapt it. Isn't this his first non-adaptation? It was pandering to his base - too much so. I was going to see this sometime but all of this shit talk and I'm going to wait till it's free OnDemand.
And I want to see Your Highness anyway. I loved Pineapple Express and it's by the same guys (starring the same guys).

This movie sucked, and if you like it, you're a fucking idiot.
The ultimate plotless, all style/no substance movie populated with vapid characters with zero personality. You care about nothing at all while watching it. Nothing.
Each time annoying dumbfuck douchebag Scott Glenn laid out the girls' mission objectives, it felt like it was the set-up for a videogame level, which is all this retarded movie really was.
Oh, but what about the supposed "hidden depth?" You can make up all the shit you want about this. I don't care.
This shitbomb is everything that is wrong with modern movies. It actually depressed me more than anything else. If Emily Browning hadn't been in it, it would have been unbearable to sit through. It still almost was.
Superman will blow.
