It's funny that a few of you continue to post that quote. I think it's also funny someone would have a problem with "scantily clad women fighting things". Personally, even though I thought the movie was kind of just okay I still enjoy seeing women kick ass, more so when they are hot, and this movie was all about women kicking ass. I liked that a lot. It goes right in line with one of my favorite "Female Power" movies I generally like to watch at least once a year, Tank Girl. I can still see myself watching Sucker Punch again later from Netflix. Maybe after a second viewing I might have a better opinion of it.
