Sin City .... Thoughts?
 

I saw it opening day... I won't say I wasn't pleased, but I think I was expecting something else. Kinda ruined parts for me. Don't get me wrong, the stuff with Marv and Dwight is awesome.

And, a note: Voltron and I talked about this, and we came to a conclusion.... We've never seen so many whores. Ever.

And Jessica Alba.....



Oh man.

I loved it. I've never read the comics, though. I just love ninja hookers. You can kick my ass any day, baby. Grrrrowrrrr.

More whores than any movie has ever contained before? Sign me up!

Sin City hasn't come out here yet, but I suspect it'll be here in a week or so. And disappointing or not, its guaranteed to beat the hell outta at least the last half a dozen movies I've seen.

Lets not forget Nazi Ninja Whores.

I envy you all, the movie won't be out here till late summer.

Voltron saw the damn movie without me. What a jerk. :cry:

But we're seeing it again Tuesday! Oh yeah.

Ooh man, I saw it just yesterday, actually...!

You see, the type of person I am... I'ma kinda happy-go-lucky person and... as much as I love violence in movies ((ooh yeah!))... this one was hard for me to watch :( ... I sat squirming in my seat, diverting my eyes at any extreme gore scenes that I could. I really like violence... but this was twisted violence :O .... a LOT of people left the theater cause they couldn't finish watching it! I felt proud though, cause I stayed :)

I walked out of the theater traumatised! :o and my boyfriend wouldn't stop poking fun at me. He's more of a movie buff then I am, and stuff like that don't phase him as much as it does me T_T

Being the type of person I am, I gotta let things digest a little and then I look for the positive sides. All in all, the movie was very well put together... the elements of contrast were very powerful, and I don't at all regret seeing it. I really liked that big guy with the "ugly mug"... not sure of his name... but he was the one who killed the cannibal! I was rooting for the big guy! And all them hookers! YEAH! With guns!!!! Stalking over buildings! With the leather and the attitude! Highlight of the movie!!!

and.... damn you, Mr Frodo... you creeped me out most of all... :( .... emotionless cannibal with glasses... ~shudders~ he still creeps me out...

the reason WHY I jumped into the movie without knowing what to expect is cause I'd seen Sin City in the comic stores for the longest time... alwayse caught my curiossity. I knew it was very dark and that it played with your mind... but I had no idea to what extremes! Next time I'll know better and do a minor research first. If I'da known about the heavy corrupted content and explicit-ness, I'da been better prepares and less traumatised :) ...

But I still liked it! I'm glad I saw it! ((probly won't see it again anytime soon though))

Ugly mug guy was Marv. The best thing he does in the flick is when hes driving the car and holding the one guys face to the pavement when going about 90 mph.

OH MAN! THAT WAS THE BEST! You almost had to do a double take when you saw that! On a side note, you should put spoilers around that Brodie.

In addition to it being badass, I've heard there are a lot of swastikas in the movie. Is that true?

Saw it opening night; loved it. Seems to be getting a lot of flack from critics, though. Entertainment Weekly gave it a C because it was "too stylised and too violent". But then, they gave Catwoman a B+, so what do they know?

its an amazing movie. one of the better ones i have seen in a while. I would probably give it a about an 8.9 out of 10. it is so close to being a 9 and probably will be the second viewing. Also critics actually liked this movie. The only one who didnt seemed to not like it because of moral values....its called sin city what did they expect. anyways rotten tomatoes eneded it with 78% fresh. that is dang good in my opinion. Catwoman got 11% or something, but i cannot remember right now.

I saw it opening night(ALmost went to the midnight premiere, actually) and I ****ing loved it. I'm a fan of the comics, and it was a near perfect translation of the books. Definately in my top 5 favorite movies.

I wouldn't say a lot. But they are there.

Im glad I didnt read the comics I think it helped me enjoy it more. I need to see it again I dont remember any characters names. But I loved the style and all that. Truely a good comic book movie

Hahahaha! Funny how all the guys at the theater went "Ooooooooooooooooooooh! OMFG!!!" simultaniously, each time he did that. I just though it funny. Muhahaha... guess I'm kinda evil that way!

Ya....The only ones that come to mind are Miho's shurikens.

Okay! So I saw it tonight with Voltron, and I have to say it was quite possibly the best movie I have ever seen in my entire life. On the way home, I compared the movie to every other movie I have ever seen, and it conquered all of them.

The plot was fantastic and it really kept me fully interested. Usually movies with violence of this nature tend to sacrifice some story, but this did not. The narration of the film was simply spectacular. The adjectives used, the tone of the narration, and the overall coming together of the film in that club where the other protagonists were located in the bar really struck me as amazing. I really enjoyed the separation of the stories, much like in Pulp Fiction, only easier to follow.

Personally, I really thought the black and white with certain colors used was quite brilliant. The visuals used in this film were wonderful. I particularly liked the coloring of the eyes. I felt that brought depth to the characters in some way. The violence in this movie was unlike anything I have ever seen, with the exception of Kill Bill. Being a lover of violence, this tended to my need for carnage, and it delivered in all sorts of ways that I never thought would be brought to the big screen. Simply wonderful.

Overall, this movie had everything I ever wanted in a movie. I'd recommend it to anyone who loves violence, a good story, and an appreciation for movies in general.

GOnna unblock me, yet?

Oh yeah, sorry. My bad.

What person with a sane mind would unblock YOU?

I saw it last night. One of the weirdest movies I've ever seen.

I missed some parts because I nodded off (Remind me to NEVER go to the movies at 9.. its much too exhausting to pay attention to a movie after using your eyes more than most people do all day....)

I liked it for the most part... the cinemography felt slightly awkward, like one minute the guy's putting on a coat, then all of sudden, he puts it on again? I dunno.. I guess maybe it's just me being tired again. Was there alot of voiceovers? There seemed to be many parts where the characters wasn't speaking, but were "voicing their thoughts"

I loved the violence... totally unrealistic, but it was amusing to watch! Some parts were painful to watch, especially the part where that yellow guy's balls were ripped off...

I need to see this movie again with closed captions at a time when I'm more... awake. I htink i missed too much of the heart of the movie by seeing it in the theater without closed captions.

I haven't read any of the original graphic novels, but I went to see the movie yesterday. And d@mn was this movie violent! I was expecting similar vibes to Kill Bill, but wow... Sin City was much more gore-filled, and I was definitely squirming in my seat throughout some of the scenes (like the yellow dude getting totally destroyed by Hartigan). I thought the characters and the writing was pretty incredible, and most of the action scenes were intense. Awesome movie all around, but definitely not for the light-hearted.

Oh... and I <3 Miho. She never said a word, but her actions spoke volumes. :teek:

Just finished watching it. Bad ass movie. That's really all I can say.

There is one Swastika in the form of some throwing weapon Miho (Devon Aoki) wields. Then there's a lot of iron crosses around the neck of Gail (Rosario Dawson), the chief-prostitute of Old Town. And then there's that one guy who gets killed in a rather funny way who sports a Charles Manson-like tattoo.

And the movie itself: It was breathtaking, awesome beyond belief, a visual masterpiece. Alone the fact that you never get to see Kevin's (Elijah Wood) full face makes him even creepier. The drawn parts are beyond awesome and it all felt right.

Marv was great. I mean, his monologues were really twisted and his way of "taking care of business" is very cool. Also, the many metaphors impressed me.

This movie definitely is one of a kind.

Well, since this thread is being bumped back up I might as well be the first to say that...

...I hated it. Really, truly despised every single second of it. It was well made, I'll give it that, but that's where the fun ended for me. Oh, and Jessica Alba is hot.

I'm not one to bitch about violence but I don't see how anyone could enjoy watching two hours of people being psysically and psychologically tortured. It's just a movie, I know. It's not real. It wasn't even realistic. That doesn't mean it's suddenly pleasant to watch. I really don't like stuff like that in any form. This movie seriously was a snuff film in my eyes. And let's face it, what was there but the violence? Story; style? Please.

I'm sure I'm stepping on some toes here, but bite me. Call me a pussy all you want, it really wasn't that great.

You know, I showed my father the film last night, and right about , he said he'd seen enough, and told me his opinon of the movie, which is exactly what you said.

I, however, have seen it about 5 times so far (3 in the movies, and 2 on dvd). I read the graphic novels before, and the sequel will kick ass.

The special edition DVD is also something to look foward to.

Normally, I'd lock this, because the damn thread is over 4 months old, but since the DVD came out recently and people wanna talk about it, I'll make an exception.

Carry on.

PUSSY! ;)
Seriously, I also thought the violence was a little too much at some points but the style made up for that. I didn't like it as much as everyone else seems to do though.

I have thought about that too, and I think that if there was censoring (or not showing the parts) it would sort of ruin a lot. I mean, all the violence seems to belong there and fits in perfectly.

I dont know. I love the GN, but i didnt like the movie. It didnt translate well.

You saw the previews for this movie, right? What where you expecting? Marv and the others to hit each other with yellow flowers?

this movie was merley showing another side of life that does exist for many out there, its just somthing your not use to. There are such things out there as Corrupted palliations, and many other things that the movie had in it (well except for a few obvoius things of course).

Theres nothing I can say wrong about this movie, it was a great movie that got me motivated to start working on my stuff once again.

No, I hadn't. I expected the movie to be violent. I did not expect the movie to be cruel and disgusting. I have no problem with violence in movies. I do have a problem with movies glorifying violence.

Please don't tell me what I am and what I am not used to. Also, I really don't give a damn whether it's real or not. I'm saying I don't enjoy watching it, and if it's as real as you say it is, I don't see how anyone could.

I don't understand why I need to justify my opinion.

oh I still respect your opinion, just wanted to know why you saw a movie were the previews showed a good amount of violence, your opinions cool with me, I can under stand finding alot of that stuff disgusting. Dont worry im not trying to piss you off at all.

Alright, it's cool. The reason I went to see the movie was because my friends really wanted to see it and I didn't want to rain on their parade.

I saw the preview and didn't like it.

I hear you, I hate when that happens.

hartigan should of shot the yellow bastard in the ass after he tore off his balls. Im serious.. child killers and anyone who likes the nazi swastika should be shot in the ass.
