SIN CITY [+ favourites]

I went and saw Sin City yesterday, great movie, but a little confusing. Has anybody else seen it yet?

I saw it, and I'm familiar with its comic origin.

It was made in a pulp fiction style which could be confusing depending on what confused you.

I thought it pretty good, there were some bad spots, some average spots, but some pretty exemplary ones as well.

its got that QT flair to it. i think it would have been a lot better if it had been seperated into chapters or sections like QT does in his movies (with actual titles, instead of just a few moments of darkness like Sin City). the exact time frame of all the events was not very clear, but it was easy to understand general time frame with the reappearance of dead characters and age growth of others. there were some extremely cheesey moments but for the most part they were forgivable. and although im not familiar with the comic, i know many comics do tend to have cheesey one liners. another thing that bothered me was the constant internal monologues. again, im sure the comic book was full of them, but i thought it was far to overly dramatic and over used in the movie.

on the up side, it was very stylish. Elijah Woods character was a ten on the cool factor in my book. the appearance of Micheal Madsen and Clarke Middleton was amusing.

6.5/10

To me a captavating is one that i never look at my watch.... I never looked once and forgot all about my (enormously overpriced) drink and the losers sitting behind me. Man was this a great film wow! a nice departure from the usual junk! Very stylish, confusing perhaps- a demanding film. i loved it !

Just a great film I highly recomend ! alot* of great scenes just dont forget about your snacks!
