Great movie. I really can't say more, because that's all my mind registers on the subject.

Go see it. Now.

I went back and dug up my graphic novel. I could only find Marv's story, but it's amazing: The movie is almost word for word what was in the graphic novel. A whole lot of the scenes look exactly like they did in the movie.

I appreciate it even more now, and I can't wait to see Sin City again! I'm looking forward to an extended DVD version also, because I read about scenes that were filmed but didn't make it into the theaters (the movie is over two hours long!).

I just saw it, it was extremly messed up.

I think it would have worked better if they had said from the start that it was going to be 3 unrelated stories, because some people in the theater got confused.

The visuals were awesome, there was much violence and nudity. It's a really "dark" vision of our world.

I saw it, it was a good movie, but way to much ball busting (Literally!) for my liking, Marv was awsome, and Elijah was just plain old crazy. And the one cop, uhhhh, the ex-husband of the barmaid, the car scenes with him were hilarious.

Damn good movie, felt like an anime at times, very slick and presetable. I didn't get Josh Hartnett's character though. What was his role in the story?

So? Does he have a point? I heard somewhere that he's the "short" that inspired Miller to let Robert make the movie. Is this true?

Question Mark

<font color = lightgreen>I believe he is in there simply to help set the tone of the movie. She (the lady in the first vignette) pays him to kill her, so she must have been really afraid of something or someone. [img]graemlins/beigesmilewinkgrin.gif[/img] </font>

Finally saw it (hate when great movies come out late here) and all I can say is WOW!!!

I mean even Mickey Rourke was good in it, I used to think that guy was the bottom of the bad actors barrel.

But the film is just so good, probably best film I seen this decade...


Star Wars got a lot to live up to tomorrow...
