Rating: 4/5; Fun, entertaining, worth re-watching. Possibly add-to-your-collection worthy.
Release Date: March 25, 2011.
Thoughts:
Oh what fun! This movie is not incredible. I'm not sure if I would be adding it to my movie collection, but it was fun to watch. What made me not absolutely go gaga over the movie was that I did not find myself caring that much for the characters. Some of them had a backstory and some of them alluded to one we never really got. It's hard to care or root for someone one hardly knows. It doesn't help that at the end of the movie you end up thinking, "WTFrack? Interesting, but I don't really care." I was also hoping to find out more about Babydoll's (Emily Browning) psychological state because that fascinates me, but that did not happen as well as I hoped.
What I did like was the fantasy world created. That was visually pleasing and because there so much action and awesome fight scenes, the movie was something I don't regret watching. Extremely reminiscent of a video game (and I love video games!), which made it all the more fun. The fact that the music (some sang by the main lead) in each action scene fits almost perfectly made this movie worth it for me.
I would recommend at least one watch because audiences won't be able to help but have fun watching it, just don't expect to get attached to the characters.

Thanks for the review! At first when the commercial came out, it was a totally turn off. But I have been hearing better things about it lately.
@Diana Dang:
oh yeah it's a fun watch! but like i said, i wish there was more of a
background to the characters. I guess it's the reader in me. so used
to having full backgrounds laid out. hope you like it when you see it!
Im glad you liked it! I can't wait to see it :)
It definitely seems as you describe it. I will watch it but probably once its out on DVD or something...
