Sucker Punch + reflexion on o.v. and dubbed voices

You can't go to the cinema to watch this movie expecting a master piece: it's just another action movie. However, if you go with that in mind, you'll sure enjoy it! Action sequences are amazing, and the girls so pretty! I think it is the best convination for an entertainment: sexy girls, in sexy outfits, kicking ass.

The music is also great and, as in Watchmen, it drags you inside the movie. You get absolutely absorved by the action, the visual effects and the excellent song choice.

I can't say it is the one of the best films I've seen lately, but it certainly is one of the ones I've enjoyed the most. I am not sure how it is in original version (in Spain films are ALWAYS dubbed), but with the dubbing I guess the acting seems better. In my years of orginal-version-watching pursue, I've discovered that acting tends to fail a lot through the voice of the actor. I mean: actors can be good with facial expression, body language and physical expression in general, but can spoil all the role just by a non convincing voice performance, a lack of credibility in their vocal expression (sorry for the amount of made up words and expressions; I tend to get carried away by creation and experimentation with language). One clear example of this that comes to my mind right now is Angelina Jolie. For me, she loses credibility with her own voice, I don't know why but her voice performance seems to me very artificial. Nevertheless, when you hear her in Spanish, especially when dubbed by Nuria Mediavilla, she is just awesome! I heard once, and I completely agree, that Angelina is made to play action roles, she is like a comicbook super heroine, and I think this is very true! But for me she needs another voice... For me, her voice is that of Nuria Mediavilla. Believe me: try o.v. and then dubbed. This is a list of the movies in which Nuria gives her beautiful voice to Angelina: 60 SEGUNDOS (2000), ALEJANDRO MAGNO (2004), AMAR PELIGROSAMENTE,EL BUEN PASTOR, EL COLECCIONISTA DE HUESOS, EL INTERCAMBIO, LARA CROFT: TOMB RAIDER,
LARA CROFT: TOMB RAIDER. LA CUNA DE LA VIDA, PECADO ORIGINAL, SALT, SIETE DÍAS Y UNA VIDA, SR. Y SRA. SMITH, THE TOURIST, UN CORAZÓN INVENCIBLE, WANTED: SE BUSCA.

But, going back to Sucker Punch, one last thing I think is important to say is that there is no Charming Prince who appears at the end to save the ladies. As the song say: Las chicas son guerreras (girls are fighters) and they don't need a knockout to come round and save their cute asses, they can do it themselves. Boys in this movie mean trouble. Guess after all the story has a moral.

My rating: IT IS ANOTHER ACTION MOVIE, so don't expect great story, great performing or anything great you'd expect from a academy awarded movie (which I think is pretty obvios you shouldn't you, but critics all around the globe seem to keep on doing...). Just go watch it if you want action in its purest state.
