I just wanted to comment on Sucker Punch. I was not sure I wanted to see it – the plot looked dubious but the fantasy elements looked fantastic. I took a chance and went to see it in IMAX format. I think what ruined the whole movie for me was the lobotomy scene at the beginning. I’ve seen this plot device before and NEVER liked the outcome (twilight zone, Brazil). So, I knew she lost from the beginning and all the action and character growth seemed pointless as she was going to be an idiot in the end. The fact that another character was saved (the one who was most resistant to the whole plan) seemed a bit like trying to make the audience feel there was some reason for the whole adventure. If she had at least been taken out fighting, I could have appreciated that, but to walk to her lobotomy after creating all that havoc – no, can’t wrap my head around that one. Too bad as I really wanted to enjoy this as a “leave my brain at the door” adventure film (no pun intended

That seems to be the consensus. The unhappy ending really threw the whole movie into a negative light.
I was okay with it not being her story but I did leave the theater in a dark mood.
Thanks for the great comment. So well said!
