Rapper Pharoahe Monch Reviews Sucker Punch, Because Why Not?

These days everyone's a critic. No, really: The folks at NextMovie got rapper Pharoahe Monch to review Zack Snyder's Sucker Punch for a video series entitled, appropriately enough, "Rappers Review Movies." (Previous installments include Lil Mama on Big Momma's House 3 -- oh, the sweet poetry in that pairing -- and Talib Kweli on The Fighter.) So what did the Queens-born self-identified nerd (who famously sampled the theme from Godzilla for his chart-topping 1999 anthem "Simon Says" and has a new album out now) think of Sucker Punch?

"I liked the movie, man," Monch begins diplomatically, pointing out Babydoll's battle against giant robot samurai as his favorite scene. "Obviously the effects were crazy. That kind of blew me away."

Young female moviegoers, Monch believes, could leave the film feeling empowered - and thanks to the skimpy costumes, "I could see young men going... and being aroused." Monch continues to speak truths on point with what many professional critics have also said: "It was hot. It was like a music video."

But despite the film's hotness and mind-blowing visual effects, Sucker Punch fell as flat for Monch in its quieter character-driven moments as it did with most critics: "I didn't think they developed it enough for me to care."

Still: "The twist was dope." Agree/disagree? Simon says comment the f*** up below.
