Sin City

Anyone see this movie yet? I've seen it twice already and LOVED it. Very visually appealing, very violent, somewhat humourous, and did I mention violent? I can't say enough about this movie. I'll admit it's not for everyone, but I think for fans of the comic, it definately did the GN's justice. Mickey Rourke was by far the greatest character. And for those who hate Elijah Woods, this is the perfect movie, he gets completely mutilated!!
ANYWAY, what did anyone else think of the movie so far????

I absolutely loved the movie. Marv was my favourite. Thats one of the few movies i would actually pay to see in theatre again ( i think i have only ever done that once or twice before). fantastic movie, everyone should see it

I'm going to see this with some friends on Thursday, and I'm so excited, I am almost giddy. So I will stop reading this thread just in case people give away too much.

I agree. Haven't seen a movie that good in years - I was literally sitting on the edge of my seat from my excitement. The girlfriend even enjoyed the movie, even accounting her illness.

I'm anticipating seeing this movie whenever I can find someone to go with... I miss having someone that is willing to go out with me as long as I feed him. Maybe I can try to recruit a new friend to replace him, if he decides not to come back.
And now that I know it is just not all critical hype, and that it's actually a good movie, I'm even more excited to see it.

I'm hoping to see it this week also- big fan of the graphic novels. There was a nice article in Wired magazine about the digital production of the movie.

On a side note- I'm trying to picture Invictus "giddy".

Was a fantastic movie, like watching a graphic novel unfold on the screen. Nothing like what is usually done when turning a comic into a movie. Definately on the must buy list.

FANTASTIC movie. One of the best movies I've ever seen, and I love movies and see a lot of them. When I think back and try to remember scenes, I don't see them as live-action, I see them as comic book strips...it's kind of weird; that's how good of a job they did.

GREAT cinematography, awesome characters, sweet storylines, and always something going on, it's just non-stop. Gets a 10/10 in my books, and I highly recommend it.

i love the little things in the movie. like that the priest was frank miller (the creator of the comic), and that all the villans and enemies had bright coloured eyes, and that the yellow guy turned out to be a physical monster because of the monsterous thing he did, and smelled as sickly as his mind was.

::::movie giving away alert::::
and that when marv looked at goldie she had blond hair, and when he saw her sister she had blonde hair until he found out it wasn't goldie, then she became like everyone else with no colour. but when he was in prison, when she first walked in, she was blonde because he was confused, then she turned to no colour again.

i love the thought that went into this movie...

Hope this week to see it, the commerical looks interesting so I' ll give it a shot.

It was the best freakin movie I've seen since Saw. THAT was a cool movie. Who was Elijah Woods in the movie? I didn't recognize him. Was he that cannibal that never talked?

Tim and Julie B · 04-09-05, 01:42 AM

Yes he was. I just saw it tonight. Wow it was a one of a kind movie I really liked it. Except I wanted the sleasy senetor to get his. I can't wait to see it again. If I had more cash I would see it in theater again.

Invictus · 04-09-05, 01:47 PM

Well, I saw it, and I have never been more blown away by a movie. I absolutely LOVED this film, I am going to go see it MANY more times in the theatre, and I just absolutely can't say enough about it. Best movie I've seen since The Crow, which is still my favorite movie of all time, and that will likely never change - but Sin City may tie it.

Emilsmee - I totally did not notice that thing with Goldie's colors, but now that you mentioned it, WOW! GENIUS!
