In other news, I'm glad to hear that! I've been anxious to go see it!
It got really bad reviews, so therefore it MUST be a good movie.
(just like the rest of my favorite movies, like Sucker Punch and V for Vendetta, they all get bad reviews)

i heard it was pretty gruesome and got terrible views because of the unnecessary violence, and the inaccuracy of the history/myths and whatnot.... A friend of mine saw it, and said it was terrible.

I don't want to see it. In the last 2 years there has been like 4 greek myth movies. They all were nothing like the stories.. and I am picky when it comes to getting greek mythology right in movies like these.

Here's one of the more accurate reviews of Sucker Punch and a good reason not to watch it:
This film could not be more appropriately titled. I was a "sucker" to pay good money to see this slop, and I felt like "punching" writer/producer/director Zach Snyder for putting me (and many others) through it.
In addition to Snyder's ("Watchman," "300") "point-the-camera-and-get-away" direction, there's the horrid acting (a term I use more than loosely) of Emily Browning and others. Add to that the convoluted storyline and not-so-special effects, and you easily have one of the worst movies of the year.
What small plot this picture has features Babydoll (Browning) as a much abused stepdaughter placed in a "Shutter Island"-type 1950s mental institution. There, she meets a group of equally terrible actresses and begins her flights of fantasy. Browning seems to have one expression, a sad-sack, dopey-eyed, head-cocked look that makes Anna Faris' thespian abilities look like Katharine Hepburn's.
With this group, she delves into an "Inception"-like world of multi-layered dimensions, fighting giant killer robots, massive zeppelins, German zombies from World War I. These scenes are all one big CGI mess that - to some, I suppose - are going to appear impressive, but when all is said and done give the (intelligent) viewer one large headache.
Meanwhile, an oriental-like wise man (Scott Glenn, "The Right Stuff," "Hunt For Red October") waxes philosophical about finding a map, a key, fire, a knife and other mundane items which are supposed to make this film somewhat deep. Glenn, by the way, only was considered for this role because David Carradine had passed away.
To waste any more words on this slick piece of garbage would only serve to justify Snyder's pathetic vision of titillating teenage males by enticing them them with nearly bare-breasted, violent adolescent girls with guns and martial arts skills.
Take my advice here; unless you're a confused young women with anger and appearance issues, or a horny 14-year old boy, avoid this movie like the bubonic plague. No matter what kind of money you save by doing so, eventually, you will thank me for it.

Yeah I just think the fact they screwed up the Greek Myths aspect pissed a lot of people off.

Did you expect it to be an action movie? If so, of course you wouldn't like it. It's a basically one big visual metaphor I couldn't really explain without an hour long discussion on the symbolism(which I have with friends, we're into talking about symbolism in movies, especially on a philosophical level). That's why I like it. It's more of an aquired taste.
