SWEET!! Frank Miller RULES! I was dissappointed when I saw the first trailer to this movie, but this trailer totally redeems itself. Movie looks really good.

Doesn't look a thing like Sydney, Australia. There's another Sin City in the world?

Dutch, I believe they also call Las Vegas "Sin City", and there was a Sin City video game that I think had nothing in common with any of the other three iterations.

Though I seem to recall someone posting this link in this very forum a short while ago . . .

I guess it wasn't that short a while, since I can't seem to find any record that it existed.

I sort of remember that thread...but I never read it.

Good to know we've all got our sin cities, eh?

Did any ever play SimCity for the SNES?

HOLY CRAP I JUST SAW IT!!!!!!111one

review:

I finally saw Sin City today. And it rocked.

I'll elaborate.

I was drawn in the moment I saw the trailer before The Aviator. The reunion of Robert Rodriguez and Quentin Tarantino, Frank Miller finally adapting a graphic novel to film, Jessica Alba playing a stripper, the sublime black and white with hints of color cinematography. The trailer alone was masturbation-worthy for any cinephile.

And it was (for lack of a more intelligent word) awesome! The plot? Think Pulp Fiction, but grittier, sexier, and a lot gorier. This film had terrificly original characters. Elijah Wood (post-Frodo, obviously) as a cannibal assassin? It works. Nick Stahl was sincerely creepy as Junior/Yellow Bastard. Bruce Willis playing a gritty street-smart cop? Okay, not much of a stretch there. Jessica Alba? She isn't exactly Meryl Streep in terms of acting abilities, but she is very pleasant to look at. Mickey Rourke even makes career reviving an appearance (think John Travolta, circa 1994).

I should add Robert Rodriguez had to resign from the DGA to make this film possible the way it is. Good for him.

Yeah, I just came back from seeing it.

It brings a tear to your eye... words can't describe how much of a rush this movie is... it's a full on assault to the senses...

I feel like screaming until my lungs collapse and calling that my review of the movie.

Hurrah for adrenaline!

it brought a tear to my eye, it was so beautiful.
so shiny.

Yeah, I loved that game.

Can't wait to see Sin City, I know it's gonna own. Ive loved everything Frank Miller has touched since I read his take on Batman.

I think the slavish dedication to the look and over-the-top nature of the comic is a detriment to "Sin City" as a movie, but I still enjoyed it.

Mickey Rourke owns this film.
