You will be put off by the name and poster.
I thoroughly recommend that you should not be - this was unbelievable in its creativity, in both the writing and execution, and every scene frame was perfectly framed with stunning lighting as well. A true visual feast and despite what appears to be a game-based plot (multiple tasks), it isn't. Emily Browning, Abbie Cornish, Scott Glen and Oscar Isaac get right into it and some of the action is phenomenal.
This was a ride from beginning to end and if you like a dose of escapist fantasy, this is definitely for you. I do like a dose of escapist fantasy so this was right up my street. Brilliant!
8/10.
And it's not surprising when the credits roll - written and directed by Zack Snyder. (Not everyone likes his stuff, though...)

Is that the "Steampunk" one? Seem to remember it being good fun.

It's not like you to be miserable about fun.

Never saw it actually rated highly. Just a lot of fun silliness.

It's not like you to be miserable about fun. I had pretty high expectations after Watchmen, and it looked like Snyder is a good illustrator but sucks when it comes to originality. Some good music videos though.

I can't get into those type of movies. Sucker Punch, I kill Giants, Pan's Labyrinth. All of them are about young females who's real life is so horrible so they create an entire fantasy world to cope. Never been able to get through any of them.

It has a bad reputation but I remember thoroughly enjoying it when it came out. I never rewatched it.

Never did see it. I do remember when it came out, there was such divisive reactions to it (like the rest of Snyder's work ). Like people either loved it or loathed it.

One of the couple of Snyder movies I haven't seen. Don't know if it is any good though.
