All this distaste for the movie makes me love it even more.

I know opinions vary, and people are really entitled to like what they want, but if you like this movie, I don't know. There is so much you can say. You don't know what a good movie is, there is no hope for you, you have shitty taste in movies, etc. etc. It has absolutely no redeeming qualities about it.
On the bright side, this picture makes me laugh everytime I see it.
Friend persuaded me to see this over Source code, needless to say, said friend is now dead to me..
I saw it last weekend after seeing a lot of horrible reviews. Fiancee was out of town, so Friday after work I wandered over to the theatre with a hankering to see a movie, and this was the only film not named Hop playing in the next hour, so I bit the bullet and watched it. My expectations were extremely low, so I can't was disappointed, but there were a lot of things that could have been changed to make the movie more palatable, at least in my opinion.
The coolest of the action sequences was the first one, by far. I felt the worst of them was the last one, which is unfortunate, as the scenes should get better, not worse. The German steam Nazis and dragon/orcs were pretty cool, but the Samurai scene was awesome.
While I like a lot of the music that was in the film, it didn't "fit" the film and actually drew my attention away from the film and to the music a lot because it was such a contrast.
The transition near the beginning of the film between sanitarium and house of ill repute was confusing, at least to me. I kept waiting for her to shift back to the asylum between visions/dances, but that didn't happen until the very end.
I didn't like the "twist" ending,Spoiler: show
I can't say I hated the movie, but I can't say I liked the movie, either. There was a lot of potential there with some cool ideas and concepts, but the film lacked a cohesive way to bring them all together. I think if I had seen this opening weekend when I still had high hopes for the film, I would have been disappointed. As it was, it was pretty much what I expected in terms of quality, so I can't say I was let down, but I can't say I would recommend it to others.

Thinking my liking of this movie describes the entire length of my film knowledge is incredibly ignorant just FYI. I like an extremely diverse amount of movies (Akira Kurosawa is one of my all-time favourite directors) and I just enjoyed Sucker Punch a lot for what it's worth, the amount of hatred towards this movie just tickles me to no end though lol.

Why? Are you really so surprised people generally thought it was a bad movie? Are you the only one that can see the genius behind it? I don't get what you're trying to prove here...
I'm not trying to prove anything... just expressing my opinion. Just like Rhinox's flaming for a whole page (which is why I posted that lol) isn't going to change my opinion for the worse, I know I can't change anyone's for the better. I'm not proclaiming some all-knowing benevolence about liking this movie.. I just do like it and the constant hating is just funny.

I think the argument that people should have gone in with low expectations for this movie is rather silly. Why bother going to a movie that you expect to be awful? Why make movies that you think the viewers will expect to be bad?
This movie doesn't even rate deliciously bad, it's just plain bad. It could have been done better.
Why do people smoke pot and other drugs then watch/listen to shitty cartoon shows/music and say that said cartoon or band is great when high, when you could just watch a good television show and listen to good music from the start instead of needed to be baked out of your mind to enjoy such trash?
I can't say if that analogy had anything to do with what you said, but it does have the same underlying message;
People are fucking stupid.
I heard it was a dream in a dream in a dream! Wrong Movie? Maybe not? LOL
