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.

*KROW* · 04-12-2005, 09:52 AM

I saw this flick Sunday evening. I loved it. The casting was near-perfection and the cinematography was astounding. I loved the translation from book to film. It was very well-done.

My favorite scenes were the ones with Marv and Dwight. Mickey Rourke's still got the juice and Clive Owen did a good job, although his American accent needs more work. Benecio del Toro was hilarious! Those wonderful conversations with Dwight were priceless.

The Hartigan story was real good, too. Bruce Willis did a nice job there, and Jessica Alba climbed a bit higher as an actress in my book. Powers Boothe was great, as well. It was good to see him in action again.

And I never thought that the chick from Son-In-Law looked like that underneath that pesky clothing. Ho-lee...

Oh, and one more thing. Elijah Wood as Kevin. Cool, but friggin creepy.

This film is definitely up there with my favorites of all time.

Peanut · 04-12-2005, 10:06 AM

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

Spoiler:

, 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.

愛 · 08-22-2005, 05:22 PM

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.

Well, in comparison to some of the crap Hollywood has dished out over the last decade or so (the list is endless), this film was a breath of fresh air. I haven't seen many films that delivered the same atmosphere as this one did.

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.

*Mecha Cow* · 09-02-2005, 03:33 PM

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.
