SIN CITY

that movie was amazing!

I love how it was so different from any other recent movie, great to see someone mixing things up!

I agree with whoever said this will be a huge cult film, it completley seems that way.

But, it's not for everyone, I went to it with about 12 people and it was about a 50/50 split. Half loved it, and half hate it with a passion.

I think it's an amazing film though.

that guys who got a new face, dwight... who was he before? and that chick that josh hartnet killed in the beginning... that wasn't wendy was it i can't remember the face? the ripping of the dick was real sick

 
i didnt really understand Josh Hartnetts role...i mean i know he was a hitman and all...but why does he show up only in the beginning and end? overall..sick movie

 
Josh Harnett was just a hitman. the first scene introduces him as such, and then, at the end, we can only assume that he was there to kill that trifeling bitch.

i thought it was crap. i thought the aesthetic was really well done and i understood and appreciated its intentions. but i thought it was really just an excuse to showcase gratuitous violence through an ensemble cast (who i was mostly dissappointed with). although they established the comic style, they were not succesful at taking the story beyond that. everything appeared as fluff, all aesthetic no value.

i'm all for non linear story lines (i always appreciated 'slacker' and tarantino of course), but i thought in this case none of the individual stories were well rounded. i thought all of the girls roles were just mundane, rourke, del toro and wood were all interesting though.

but really my main complaint was that the violence was waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay over the top and i never complain about violence in movies. from my point of view, the violence seemed to be the main focus of the film, not what the director was probably going with: the violent nature of the characters, the violent nature of the environment and how these create violent intentions. it just seemed tacked on and sloppy, a lets show em what they've never seen before. instead of distracting me from all the other weak points of the film, it just bored me. i was over it not long after it started.

the worst part is that i was really really really excited about seeing this one. i've been waiting for it since i saw the original trailer months and months ago.

If you are into editing or special effects at all then you should probably see it. The whole movie was pretty much composited. The actors were pretty much the only things filmed, everythign else is cg.

i've never read the comic book... but i heard the movie actually totally sucked hard core. I also heard it was the best movie ever

for those trying to figure out the plot, or why it was so freakin violent i guess you don't really understand what the movie was. sin city is a series of graphic novels, and the movie was three of those novels combined into one movie. it was so violent because they really were pretty much following the novels frame for frame. and the reason the colors are so cool is because thats the way the novel is illustrated. they are already thinking which novels to use for the sequel.

 
^right, but whether its in the novel or not, its still gratuitous violence and i think the film failed to substantiate much further than that. it sounds to me that the novels probably had more wealth (in terms of substance) than maybe the film provided.
