Firecat · March 29th, 2005, 4:58 PM

The_Finn · March 29th, 2005, 6:33 PM

Tarantino directed a small bit as part of an agreement he had with Rodriguez, who scored Kill Bill Vol. II. images/smilies/wink.gif

I'm going to check to this one out too. The directer said that he filmed it very true to the comics.

Firecat · April 3rd, 2005, 12:46 AM

wow....

Pretty cool film. Like watching a comic (or somethin' like that)

hokiethang · April 3rd, 2005, 1:17 AM

I had heard good things about it from friends who saw it this weekend (damn test monday, damn it to hell images/smilies/sad.gif

). I guess in the downtime I hopefully will have on tuesday I might go and see it.

goneinsixtyseconds · April 3rd, 2005, 7:43 AM

i just saw it tonite and ... i'm not too sure what to make of it ...

don't want to put any spoilers here in case any of you are going to watch it, but let's just say it was quite ... graphic images/smilies/wacko.gif

Firecat · April 3rd, 2005, 7:52 AM

It didn't pull any punches, and was a faithful adaptation of the graphic novel. Plus, Jessica Alba is hottttttt images/smilies/tongue.gif

kenezzite · April 4th, 2005, 12:09 PM

Jesica Alba is too freaking skinny IMO. Nothing to grab on to images/smilies/mrgreen.gif

Sin City was freaking great. If you've ever read any of the graphic novels, you'll recognise everything. It was incredibly close to the comic books, some frames are almost exactly like the frames from the comic books.

If you're faint of heart you probably won't like this movie.

This isn't the usual comic book/graphic novel movie with superheros like Daredevil or Spiderman or XMen, so dear Lord, don't take your preschool aged children.

When I saw it there was a young guy with 2 kids that couldn't have been older than 6 or 7 sitting in the row in front of us. That was by far the most disturbing thing, hearing the guy try to explain some of the bits to little kids.

All of my friends (who want to see the movie) went and saw it together while I was out doing something else on Friday. images/smilies/sad.gif

I'm dying to see this movie but don't have anyone to go see it with now. I'm going to have to figure out a way to convince my girlfriend that it's a romantic comedy. images/smilies/tongue.gif

Lardass · April 5th, 2005, 8:00 AM

We gotta wait till the end of may to see it over here. Though I think I will wait and get the full big screen effect

Gophermuncher · April 10th, 2005, 11:15 PM

The movie rocked images/smilies/thumbsup.gif

I won't give anything away, but Marv > *

People say that the movie is new age film noir, but Frank Miller said it's not. It's just a faithful translation of the comic book... which is not film noir since it's a comic book. It's just a comic book that has all the characteristics of film noir... if it were a film... which it is images/smilies/wacko.gif

these are side by side comparisons from the comic book panels to stills of the movie images/smilies/eek.gif
