I know we've had a thread on this, but I can't get the search feature to work at all for me. I don't even like comic books, I have never heard of this one, but the movie looks kind of interesting. Though I'm wary on movies that rely solely on style and have no substance.

The others I'd take or leave, but this is style and substance. It's not Scott's fault that his imitators and successors could only replicate the look and not the feel

Sin City is an okay movie but I would not recommend it. It has most of the faults of Kill Bill 1 and 2 and few of the highlights. The main issue for me was the repetiveness of the action. I.E. the emasculating and beheadings by multiple characters of multiple characters. It loses shock value after the first few times. The previews are also misleading because Mickey Rourke(Marv) is featured in the majority of the movie followed by Clive Owens character. Jessica Alba, Josh Hartnett, Bruce Willis, Benico Del Toro and any other favorite actor you care to name has a relatively small part.What can make a nigga wanna fight a whole night club/Figure that he ought to maybe be a pimp simply 'cause he don't like love/What can make a nigga wanna achy, break all rules/In a book when it took a lot to get you hooked up to this volume/

I thought it was worth seeing (had to for a class, but I would have anyways) though it was definitely for style over substance."In the beginning was the Word. Then came the ******* word processor." -Dan Simmons, HyperionComment

Its not a movie I plan to see. . .
Saturday I saw "Million dollar Baby" and I quite enjoyed it (largely because it had no cutesy ending or love story for the sake of a love story)You don't get to 300 losses without being a pretty exceptional goaltender.-- Ben Kenobi speaking of Roberto LuongoComment

Sin City was, hm.
I liked it, but I wouldn't say it's a good movie, per se.
Very stylized, not as stylish, and kinda too long, which makes it less fun than it could be. I wouldn't play more than $5.50 (matinee/student discount, for instance) for it, and I'm not sure it would really be that enjoyable on the small screen.B♭3Comment

Now that I think about it, the Trailer with the instrumental version of The Servant's "Cells" is pretty much what you should see.B♭3Comment

hmm, I think I'll pass then. The only reason I would see it, is because I'm a Bruce Willis fan (the main reason I saw Pulp Fiction). If his part isn't large, then maybe I'll pass.
How does Jessica Alba look? I'm not the type of guy to go see movies just for a hot chick in it, but I do consider it a perk.Comment
