I'll be going to see this in the cinema for sure. I'm a fan of Snyder, and this seems a bit like his own Kill Bill, where he throws a bunch of genres together in one film. Hope it's good!

I was so ****ing hyped for this. Until it got a 12A.

A bit ridiculous that it's already got a release date

On my birthday as well, lol

Big black knicker action!

Zack Snyder confirms an R-Rated 18 min longer cut for Blu-Ray

Mad Men's Jon Hamm has an extended cameo, playing two roles: a high-rolling patron who frequents the cabaret in the fantasy of Babydoll (Emily Browning), and a doctor who specializes in performing lobotomies. Those who see Sucker Punch may wonder if some of Hamm's scenes were left on the cutting-room floor — and Snyder confirms that there was indeed one more sequence with the actor, excised from the final act (lobotomized, if you will) in order to secure a PG-13 rating. What happens in the scene? He told us... but it would spoil wayyy too much. But yes, an R-rated director's-cut DVD is indeed in the works.

Snyder (here with Malone) wanted to — and was obligated to — deliver a PG-13 film. While there is no nudity or sex and very little blood in Sucker Punch, the intensity of the sexual themes and fighting kept earning him an R rating from the MPAA. Snyder says it took him about seven passes — and cutting 18 minutes of fighting alone — to finally get a PG-13.

From what's being said, the Directors Cut won't be as strong as other Snyder films, as he was still aiming for a PG-13 rating.

Thats pretty cool news. I wont see this at the cinema now I know an R rated version is coming out. Save my 13 bucks for the BD.

Damn! I knew I should have waited! I bought tickets for this at The IMAX and spent a lot, only to read this.

I'm thinking of doing the same actually. Though I'm dying for another trip to the cinema soon.

I really wanna go see this but if its out on blu-ray in July then I can probably wait

Even though the theatrical release has been quite heavily edited I'm still going to see it, to see if I'll enjoy enough to get the Blu-ray. I much prefer seeing something in the cinema prior to getting the Blu-ray to make sure I'll like, because I think blind buying new releases is just far too risky when the prices are so high.

Saw it today and I really enjoyed it, despite the bad reviews. Will definatley be buying the Blu-ray. I'm surprised it has a release date already though.

@Foggy: I hadn't considered a Director's Cut. Hopefully there'll be more Baby Doll/Sword action.

[sapphire_nick]

Sat down in the IMAX waiting for it to start. Fingers crossed am going to love it!

[Sky_Captain]

Saw it yesterday and thought it was the biggest pile of shite I've seen in quite some time.

'Dull' doesn't even begin to describe it. I considered leaving 40mins into it.
How does someone manage to take such interesting visuals and make something so boring?

I liked the soundtrack, that was about it. Would maybe work as 3-4 minute music videos, but not stretched out to 2hrs. Christ, no!

[,deeii]

I'm really hoping they will release a nice Collector's Edition or something for this movie! Haven't seen the movie (yet) but it looks so cool!
