Elijah Wood's character was the weirdest of the bunch...

I like that, you're hired...

It was quite a movie, however it's always a struggle for me to enjoy a movie with the limited legroom them damn stadium-seated theaters have... U.U

THE MOVIE IS ROCK HARD ASS KICKER!!

I just saw it, and was blown away. The occasional ghost white film technique made it a comic feel and it gave an essence of being based on a comic.

Marv and Miho are my two favorite characters, cuz they are complete pwnage.

Can anyone tell me what the point of the Nazi symbols and Josh Hartnett's character was? Was it to liike show that Sin city will always be full of corruption or something along those lines?

Oh, and the hookers' rooftop shooting made me cringe and laugh at the same time. I hope it was made to look so....weird.

About Josh Hartnett's characterrrr






*****SPOILERRRRRRRR*******










People were discussing his character on IMDB as well, the beginning scene was setting up that he was a contract killer, the ending scene was showing that that back-stabbing ho was getting what she deserved...








*eenddddd zpsoilers*

Were the Josh Hartnett scenes taken from one (or more) of the graphic novels, or were those made for the movie?

Anyway, I saw it last night. It was neat. It was also my first R movie without a parental person accompanying me and all..

ID...

Anyway, I liked it. T'was fun. Marv is cool. S'all.


/me shrugs and walks away

******SPOILER*********













I thought that the intro scene was perfect to set the tone and give the viewer a good idea of what kind of place Sin City was. The ending, I'd say, was more of a bookend to finish off the movie instead of a reasurrance that the whore was going to get what was coming to her. It started off the way it ended.


and strangler, you're right...Carla Gugino has a very nice rack

didnt quite make me forget about Jessica Alba, though

Well first off, I personally prefer other Bat-books like Year One and the Long Halloween over The Dark Knight Returns. Something about that book just didn't rub me the right way. And also, I read it after Batman Beyond and for some reason that seems to be Batman's future in my mind...

Anyhow onto the movie, it was great... awesome.. well you get the drift. It was such a great movie and some awesome characters. I liked Merv a lot. Dwight/Dwayne was a good character as well. And Miho kicked all types of ass. I also liked the guy who got shot with the arrow.. funnie scene

The beginning was from the short story "The Customer Is Always Right." The end was made for the movie.

Finally got it. Good movie. Shlubb and Klump are a lot more pleasant to listen to than read. Shame they didn't show Marv's mom. The Nazi with the arrows still my favorite part in the entire series. Gotta love that guy.

In case anyone is wondering about Dwight talking about his new face...read the books. Would explain it but they hinted at making a sequel.

I just saw this movie tonight.

Wow. I was completely blown away. It went above and beyond my expectations for the movie. I saw it with a friend of mine, and we were constantly talking about the symbolism of the colors that they used and the things that they said.

It was one of the best movies that I've seen in a long time. I think that Marv and Dwight were my favorite characters, but I also liked Hartigan.

And Jessica Alba...was just gorgeous. As usual.

I can't wait for this movie to come out on DVD so I can buy it.
