Sin City- best movie ever

[tbach24]

Wow, such a great movie. Non-stop action. Wicked hot girls (especially Jessica Alba). Go see it. Now. Stop watching the NCAA tourney. Stop playing poker. Just go see it now. Best movie ever.



For those who have seen it:



One thing I didn't get about parts of this movie were the color symbolism. A lot of times, eyes, hair, lips, shoes, and other things were colored. Everything else was black and white...for those who have seen it, could you explain?

[tbach24]

I want an avatar of Jessica Alba from the movie...does anyone know where i could get one?

[fsuplayer]

yes, awesome movie. extremely entertaining.

jamie king's tits=flawless.

jessica alba: jeez, i wanna revote of Ms. OOT.

Movie rocked. Clive Owens story segement I found to be the best (the one directed by tarantino) -- but [censored] Mickey Rourke had one hell of a story as well.

Elijah Wood gets my vote for most [censored] up movie character in recent memory and he doesnt even talk. Silent, cannibal assasin who shows no emotion.

What a ride though.

[oreogod]

Oh the color symbolism -- it should be directed on why Miller chose to do it in the books, everything colored in the books is colored in the movie exactly. Probably to bring some snap to the frames, to the scenes -- it just pops. I love this movie.

Because Quentin wanted to??

Haven't seen it yet but intend to.


Assume he's just being kinda clever.
It's the 'new' Noir.


One could also argue that it draws extra attention to the various areas, etc etc. But I would argue that it's just for general effect.
Not unlike a decision to show a bullet or other scene in slow-motion (or super-fast time-lapse photog motion like traffic or clouds zipping by) instead of just at regular speed.


I'll be interested to see how much I like it as I typically am repulsed by gimmicky cinematography....but I suspect I am going to like what they do with this film a LOT and, without having seen it, I might guess it has a shot for a couple of oscar nominations for editing, cinematography and the like.

I thought tarantino only directed the part where owen is talking to benicio in the car.

[thirddan]

this movie is like watching a comic book in motion, the stylized look didn't bother me cuz it made sense. unlike the incredible hulk movie that tried to edit it and do pic in pic which was just awful...

[peachy]

i liked it alot...as i posted in the other post about this movie /images/graemlins/tongue.gif

[Number4]

Not the best movie ever, but really good. I liked Dwight's storyline the best, but Marv was a close, close second.
Elijah Wood just freaked me out.
And Alba? I can't even put it into words. Good movie - I recommend it.

[astroglide]

it was very good

[Lazymeatball]

Saw it today. The cinemetography and gritty setting was awesome. Most of the acting was fairly simplistic, nothing impressive, but that worked for what the movie was trying to accomplish. I wouldn't go around saying best movie of the year or anything, I could have done with a little less Bruce Willis, and a little more Jessica Alba, but hey, it wasn't bad for a matinee. Also, you don't have to know anything about the original comicbook to enjoy this, because I certainly didn't.

[thirddan]

sadly, i can never like michael madsen against...[censored] tilt...

If anyone goes to this movie after reading this much hype they will be severly disappointed.

[Dead]

YES.

I saw it yesterday and it was awesome.

[The Dude]

Holy cow was Jessica Alba hot in this movie. Had this come out 2 weeks ago, we would have a different Ms. OOT. I know I would change my vote.

[Dead]

Dude, Jessica Alba didn't look any hotter in this movie. She always looks hot and this was no exception. But I think that she has reached maximum hotness.

[The Dude]

The makeout scence between Jessica Alba (23) and Bruce Willis (60) did kind of wierd me out, though.

[Dead]

Bruce Willis is not even 50 yet, yet alone 60.

But point taken.

[sublime]

damn, I need to see this flick.

saw it last night. really cool. alba is a dime.

[ClassicBob]

Well, he is 50, but not 60. The movie characters were supposed to be 19 and 68, which is pretty creepy.

[Dead]

Those are their movie ages. It didn't seem that creepy to me.

[sublime]

The movie characters were supposed to be 19 and 68, which is pretty creepy.

unless you are 68.

[JinX11]

Going to see it in a few hours...will confirm or deny these allegations afterwards.

[hutz]

It was a very good movie. I particularly liked the colorization of certain items pertaining to key characters. The dialogue was pretty stilted in places, though. There are three or four really sweet lines sprinkled through the movie, which makes up for that. Sadly, Alba remained clothed throughout the movie. /images/graemlins/mad.gif

My girlfriend covered her eyes a lot, reacted with disgust to certain parts, then proceeded to talk about it a lot over dinner last night and again this morning. So, while it's not at all a chick flick, it got a "normal" (well, normal for any girl who'd date me) girl's stamp of approval, too.

[threeonefour]

sounds like everyone liked it...

I am going to dissent and say the movie was way too ultra violent for me.

it just seemed like juvenille gore film.

sin city = testosterone + blood

to be honest, I think i would have really liked the film if they toned down on all the violence... and i realize thats a major part of the movie and to take it out would be stupid...

I am probably just an oversensitive-metrosexual-pansy-man but to each his own.

[Ulysses]

Just saw it and really liked it as well. One thing that could have been better was get a few better actors for some of the roles. Some of the over the top noir stuff could have used some better delivery than people like Brittany Murphy and James King are capable of. Nonetheless, I thought it was very good.

[Tron]

Does anyone have a good link to an explanation of this movie? When I left the theatre yesterday, I felt like I had just seen a really good movie, but I didn't understand how it all came together... Maybe I got too caught up in the action or something. I don't know, but a solid summary would be really nice so I could at least feel like I know what was going on in that movie.

[rutang]

the thing that made me love the movie - and a part of why people who haven't read the novels are puzzled about some of the approach... is that this move is the most exact adaptation of the source material that i've ever seen, all the way down to the visual style and specific shots. A good example: Every panel from the book that involves Marv's parole officer is perfectly duplicated. It may seem a little erratic becuase it really is one movie adapting four individual stories. Usually a fan of the "original" text would urge you to read before watching b/c a movie inevitably will be worse and ruin the book. In this case, you should read the graphic novels first, b/c it will make you love the movie more.

Tarantino did not direct an entire story segment; just one scene. I'm not sure which one, but it's in the rain. Atleast, thats what USA today said in their review, which was 3.5/4 stars.

Went to see it friday night and after waiting in line for 30 minutes it was sold out. Can't wait to see it.

[brassnuts]

I saw this on IMDB while browsing through pics from Sin City and thought it was really in need of some caption bubbles.

I didn't even notice the scary dude in the back until I opened the pic in Adobe.

Don't forget the run-in from Carla Gugino's T&A.

[theBruiser500]

thought it was a good movie liked it a lot, this seems like it's going to become another cult classic where people say it's their favorite movie ever like fight club which is kind of crazy. fun movie, but definitly not on my favorite movie list.

also, jessica alba has a fat face. the barmaid was clearly the hottest one in the movie.

whoa, i agree with every word of this.

[Tuco]

Thought it was really well done and enjoyable, except the part where they have the six-year old girl say "but i'm still a virgin" over and over. Way over the line of bad taste for me. Guess it has to do with the fact that I now have a daughter. Make that part very hard to watch without being repulsed.

whatever dude, you are weird. apparently you had no problem with the countless murders in the film?

I'm weird cause I am offended when a six year old says "i'm a virgin"? K. I'm weird then. Thanks for the personal attack, btw.

I, along with most of society, have been de-sensitized to violence. I havent yet heard a small child say shes a virgin, and I hope I dont hear it again.

Tuco.

[pshreck]

No personal attacks from me, but I agree with Daryn in that its too small a detail to get hung up on.

Yes it would be uncommon for a 12 year old to repeat this.

However, it is very possible that it could be said in certain situations, just like the one in the movie.

personal attack? "LOL" someone is too sensitive. it's a movie. relax yourself and try to have a nice life.

[daryn]

also, i remember back in elementary school when everyone learned the meaning of the word virgin, all the guys would just go around asking the girls if they were virgins, etc. it's not like this shocking mind-blowing thing you are making it out to be.

What makes you think I don't? Look man, like I said in the OP it probably has something to do with the fact that I have a young daughter. If you don't, you probably don't understand where i'm coming from on this.

i don't mean it as an insult. how does the fact we've never met or talked change anything? if i find out a guy's favorite food is a bowl of nuts and bolts covered in chocolate sauce, i'm pretty sure that dude is weird.

Not sure what that song was about, but you are right. He was criticized in reviews too (if you listen to them). It really seemed like he just phoned in his role, all his lines were said in the same tone (even if they had different meanings, feelings about them). Didnt matter much, his role was small.
