[veve]

The film sure has an interesting look to it .... kind of a retro film noir kinda thing, much like Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow if you ask me.

But, I'm not sure if I can watch a 2 hour film if its gonna look like that the whole movie. Definitely a turn off

[*stephinika*]

looks pretty interesting to me actually...i'd like to see it when it comes out.

[Individualityy]

The way it was shot looks completely awesome. I can't wait to see it.

[xXirockhardXx]

^^ Thats why i want to go watch it, it just looks very mafia or something like that.

[yeseulx3]

[jambaJUICE]

[william]

it looks interesting; i'll have to see it when it comes out. wasn't tarantino going to direct a scene in this, or am i thinking of a different movie?

[xj_liana_tx]

[karrar]

[d0nchikit0]

About this movie.. It comes out on April 1st.. I was thinking it could be a huge april fools joke, seeing as to how I have not seen any behind the scenes to this movie on Extra, Access Hollywood, E.T., Etc. Plus the movie just looks too cool.. it has plenty of stars..This is just a prediction.. BUT I would love to see the movie..

[skateforfree]

this movie looks tite im defentliy gonna see it

[Teesa]

sorry to bring this topic back, but obviously I did not want to create a new one--

I saw the movie last night
and it was really good, IMO, but kind of confusing. I recommend it, although I bet lots of people won't agree with me.

[angelrevelation]

i want to watch it.... i think it's cool how it's like cartoonish but real life at the same time. and it's black and white with a little bit of color to accent things but what exactly is it about? lol

[brokenskys]

[rememberme]

[Domonic]

Indeed. Very original and faithful to the orignal graphic novels.

You can tell by watching the movie that Tarantino had a part in it. I definately got that vibe.

And C'mon. When will you ever see Elijah play a role like he did in Sin City??

Go see it. If you enjoyed Pulp Fiction like I did, I promise you'll love it...

[shnuzzles]

sin city! yesss. it was an awesome moviee! alot of blood tho gross. i dun wanna say anythin more coz itll proly ruin tha movie for those who havent seen it ^_^

[dancingkait]

i got to see an advanced screening i thought the movie was soo good. i've seen it twice now too...i thought elijah wood was really good in it. and how only what they wanted to stand out was in colour. i thought it was awesome myself!

i liked elijah. even though he creeped me out.

answer your PMs!

[nightsong]

I saw this film noir yesterday night, and I honestly didn't like it. I understood it and everything, but this wasn't really my... type of movie.

Haha. Am I the only one who thought it was funny that Alexis Bedel played a prostitute?

Oh, and I liked how Bruce Willis castrated Nick Stahl. Twice. *feels sick admitting it*

xo, Pauline

[snak3y3z1001]

"I took away his weapon"
"Both of them"
I saw it 3 times already. Really enjoyed this movie.

i saw it 2 lol..that is a funny two parts..

[xXYouMeBedNowXx]

The movie was simply beautiful. For those of you that are Quentin Tarantino fans, you'll be getting a smart fusion of Kill Bill and Pulp Fiction smashed in with some comics and modernization. Add a tint of Saw, and you have Sin City.

[gOODpIRATE]

i've seen it. bloody...yes. but it is sort of a way it is similar to a comic book, and, comic books are like that....

[imadorkabledxd]

my friend saw it and said it sucked. my school newspaper gave it a B+. but i trust my friend more :)

[mystah_danger]

With Hellboy, Guillermo Del Toro lovingly recreated panels from artist/creator Mike Mignola's comic book stories and brought them to vibrant life, setting a new benchmark for adaptations that respect their source material. With Sin City, however, co-directors Robert Rodriguez and Frank Miller have done more than just recreate the brutal chiaroscuro of Miller's stark post-modern noir artwork, they've captured the essence and the aesthetic of Basin City (as much a character as Marv or Hartigan) and brought its universe and characters to a stunning three-dimensional life. And unlike Hellboy, which suffered from a weak, confusing script, Sin City weaves a Pulp Fiction-esque narrative which snakes through the dark streets and crooked alleyways of this hellish metropolis like a fever dream.

In short, Sin City delivers a blistering ballet of bullets and blood, dames and danger at every turn. It's a kinetic masterpiece of pop culture for the new millennium (and a case could be made that this was the movie that CGI was invented for).

Everything works here. From Rodriguez's cinematography and editing, to the seamless direction (no mean feat when you consider Robert co-directed with Miller and Quentin Tarantino joined the mix as "Special Guest Director"), to the spot-on casting. The script gives Bruce Willis, Mickey Rourke, Clive Owen and Benicio Del Toro plenty of opportunity to chew the scenery – and they do, especially Rourke, who, despite having his mug buried under a thick layer of gruesome latex, delivers one of the best performances of his career and steals the show as Marv, the giant thug with a broken heart. The ladies hold their own, too. Jessica Alba, Rosario Dawson, Brittany Murphy and Jaime King are all great in their roles, particularly Dawson as machine gun-wielding Dominatrix/Hooker-Godmother Gail. And kudos to Elijah Wood (proving there is life after Hobbits) and Nick Stahl who deliver contrasting performances as vile villains, the ultra-creepy Kevin and the disgusting Yellow bastard, respectively.

Sin City is smart, stylish, sexy and sick. It's also violent and funny. Certainly not a film for the whole family, but for those of us who enjoy our movies rated R, this flick kicks the head and the gut like a mule

i can't watch that film in Hong Kong ,, too bad

[snak3y3z1001]

i've seen it. bloody...yes. but it is sort of a way it is similar to a comic book, and, comic books are like that....

well maybe because the movie was based off on a graphic novel written by Frank Miller Everything came straight from the comic.

[Domonic]

well maybe because the movie was based off on a graphic novel written by Frank Miller Everything came straight from the comic.

...and because Frank Miller was a director, of course it's going to be faithful to the comics. Although some things were taken out...

[karrar]

nice avvy domonic

[veve]

...and because Frank Miller was a director, of course it's going to be faithful to the comics. Although some things were taken out...

Frank Miller really wasn't a co-director on this film .... Robert Rodriguez just wanted to give him the credit which he deserves.

There was actually a big controversy with Frank Miller's director credit. Robert Rodriguez wanted to credit him so badly that he withdrew from the Directors Guild so that he could. The Directors Guild wouldn't allow Frank Miller the director credit.

[hardbodyactiv]

I have only recently seen the movie in Naples Fla (Its not released in the UK until June!!).

It combines action and dialogue which perfectly mimics comic book fantasy, even to the portrayal by Mickey Rourke who although he had his own features hidden under an amazing prosthetic (perhaps to mask the awful & disfiguring plastic surgery he had) gives a film stealing performance.

But Jessica Alba as Nancy. Now she is one hott chic. Although the original comics portrayed her part as fully nude, Rodriguez gave her the option not to strip and I for one am glad she didn't. Her scene in the bar with Bruce Willis a-la Christina Aguilera was fantastic. Even my wife said it was hott!!

Incredible sets, innovative use of modern technology, lighting, shadow and colour, outstanding costumes, characters with depth and moments of humour skillfully intermingled with the graphic violence. Plus the joy of witty dialogue unheard of since Pulp Fiction.

Modern cinema in all its gutsy, blistering and brutal glory.

But 6 people left....not to return. Perhaps Kevin was waiting for them outside.

[sharerol]

Ehh, I saw it. It was okay. Just okay.

[smthngcrprategrl...]

looks interesting...still have to see it

[vampireduster]

i love that movie so much. my cousin has seen it 10 times. lucky him. i need to see it again but sadly i have no money. im broke

[*iNyCxShoRT*]

My sister said it was a great movie, but i also heard it was violent. Jessica Alba is in it though xD

[*mzkandi*]

I saw this movie last night and it was excellent. Jessica Alba looked for pretty. And I love the way it was directed. I will have to get it when its comes out on dvd.

[*Azarel*]

I finally watched this movie today. I loved it. Absolutely adored it, especially the beautiful colourizations - my favorite was of Becky (Alexis Bledel)'s eyes. And Gail (Rosario Dawson) was absolutely gorgeous. AND I'm a sadist, so this movie was loads of fun for me.

[ktsou11]

i really wanted to watch it but i didnt get a chance :[ now i ahve to wait until it comes out on DVD but it probably wont have the same effect as in the theater

[t352525]

my fd 's comment: not so good ....

[nosuntoday]

What do you guys think about the movie? It looks very interesting but kinda boring. I love that its in black and whit (it is gonna be in black and white right?) lol. N.e ways yeah do you rhink your gonna go watch it?

awesome movie

[karrar]

Of course it's an awesome movie. Frank Miller was directly involved.





-As you can see by my Avtar and my Signature ( woah they took it away ) I'm a huge fan of his works.

[Chii]

sin city is so overrated.

i hate black and white movies...they scare me because if i focus on it too long i think i'm color blind.

there was too much gore and hookers.

1. Only 11 year old queers think that.

2. Then you have problems.

3. Don't see the movie if you are to imature to handle the source material.

The part with Becky's eyes was one of my favorites, too.



And this one, where the policeman shines the light in Clive Owen's <3 face:



and btw, karrar, what is your real name--if your username isn't it--I've been wanting to meet you =]

[Looow]

Too many boobies. =P

[gotahemmi55]

i thought it was spectacularly well done

and the fact that it was in black and white only incredibly enhanced the rare few things that actually were in color.

lots of gore and boobies, but so what? it was rated R and the black and whiteness took away a little of the bad effect of gore and boobies so that made it a little better

[vampireduster]

the DVD comes out August 19 and Sin City 2 comes out next year!

[gOODpIRATE]

yeah, it was very long, but better than i thought i would be. can't wait to get it on dvd.

[*Azarel*]

the DVD comes out August 19 and Sin City 2 comes out next year!

.. Sin City 2? God. I hope it's as well done as the first. But I'm definitely going to watch it.

[enyceXaddiction]

i thought it sucked.

[Nixin]

You thought it sucked. There's a difference between that, and actually sucking, and quite a large one.

Frank Miller is one hell of a writer, and he does his own drawings for the comics ( yes, it was a comic before it was a movie. It was even said that it could never be made into a movie, because of that reason, but it was done and it was done well! ).

It's very, very, very well written, and they kept the same black and white comic book feel, and also threw in some other comic book type elements like color in certain places to place emphasis on certain things, and little things like that.

I especially liked the voice-over narration, it was a large part of the comic, and there is no subsitute for it.

The second movie is coming out, and will be based on earlier stories, so it will have some of the characters that may have died in the other movie

I've read all of the comics, and they're just some of the best ever, written better than most literature of today, not only limiting it to comics.

I enjoyed the movie very, very, much.

[*mipadi*]

The coolest thing about that is it was filmed in color, then transferred to high-quality black and white (simple to do, since it was shot entirely digitally), which means the animators/sfx people could selectively bring out the true colors of the shot. It's an awesome technique.

[karrar]

I <3 Sin City. Just look at my Avvy and Sig.......wait they took my sig........fags.

[iheartjohn]

Sin City was pretty good. A little confusing to follow, though.

if you were really a fan, you wouldn't have called Frank Miller's graphic novels comics.

[Aoiro]

I haven;t seen it yet, but I heard it was pretty good.
People wouldn't shut up about it, though.
@_________@;;

[angel-roh]

I watched it.



And. It was boring LIKE HELL!!!!

I'm so confused with the story. It's like 3 different stages of stories. CAN WE JUST STICK WITH ONE STORY? PLEASESAESEASE. gez.




But the hookers gang was hot. They had guns!!! and the ninja girl dannnng. and and and and alexis bedel --- sexy.

[Levy2k6]

i didn't really like it much but i understood it.

i lmao in some scenes tho.

[miyabi]

i just watched it. it was acutally pretty good. but the end, it kinda left me hanging. XP i like the part with the police officers and the hookers. i think that was the best part. all the hookers shooting eveybody.
