the movie is f***ing BAD. ASS.


It is ridiculous, as my man Germy said. It grabs you by the balls and just entertains. I suppose if violence isnt your thing, you might wanna stay away from this title...but I watched it with 3 lady friends (just 3 lady friends ) and although they thought it was a little "much", they liked the movie.

Marv is now one of my more favourite characters of recent memory.

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.

***Spoilers***











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.













***End Spoilers***

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...

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.

******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

That was a fun movie, and I liked the craziness of it all. I thought the Elijah Wood's character, though weird, was really tight. Marv was cool too.

Holy Sh*t Jessica Alba,

I didnt even care if they *Spoiler* didnt show much of anything from her *end of Spoiler!* but we all knew that right? Anyway, the entire movie was brutal to the end and I LOVE IT!!!

Black and White really helps the comic book genre of movies...

'Cause we all know what worked for a graphic novel that was printed in black and white will work for all comic book movies.

Forget the red and blue tights or the red head MJ, the next Spider-Man movie will all be grey!

They could just make Spider Man and Mary Jane colored and everything else black and white....


...And then, they could learn how to spread the color to others Pleasantville styled, and spiderman's web shooters will turn into spray paint cans.
