Hated it!!!!! Movie made no sense! Nice soundtrack.
Technically brilliant but emotionally and philosophically barren. Still, great music, pretty pictures and a memorable performance from Scott Glenn almost even things out enough to recommend it. Almost.
3 Stars.. I went in there with high expectations and wasnt that impressed. It was okay. very random movie and like that other guy said its a nerds wet dream :) Nice action but not so amazing story line.
The movie had great music that went along perfectly with each scene and the story was also very good but you have to pay attention to fully understand the complexity of it
Had great action and effects and a killer soundtrack, but everything else was just terrible. A one time watch.
As with most movies it's hard to get a real storyline into a 2 hour time frame. It was entertaining and that's what movies are suppose to do. For people who expect every movie to be Oscar quality then I suggest you stick to reading books.
The story (or what I could make sense of the story) was about Babydoll (Emily Browning), a girl who is committed by her stepfather after some events that happen in the first ten minutes of the movie. She is set to be lobotomized and she works in a burlesque show with four other girls. Every time she dances, she lets her mind escape and kick-ass action scenes ensue. The following ninety minutes is pretty much just a sexed up prison break movie peppered with great visuals and great action. The story did have problems, seeing as some times it was damn near incomprehensible, and it does borrow a ton of stuff from other movies. There is a very Tron-esque battle scene in the middle of the movie, t
3 stars max. Special effects are great, but they cannot replace the non-existent storyline. Mostly disappointing.
I really enjoyed this movie. I would recommened to anyone over 14 since it is way darker than you would think. examples include prostitution clubs and attempted r#ping
Quite honestly the only good thing about this movie was parts of the soundtrack, I should have left the theatre but I kept expecting a better part to turn up, but it never did.
