This REALLY looks good. Great framing of shots, neato names and really wonderful black and white/color stuff.
Looks great, and has Bruce Willis, so we have to see it =p. (Hubbies a bit obessive ... not in a bad way, but its like oh! Bruce! WE have to go now! =p)

That looks like it'll be amazing. Almost all the shots in the trailer are exact remakes of the panels in the comics.
Now here's the potential problem... Sin City has several mini-series comics. The movie looks like it'll have almost all of them in it. That might end being too much to do... but I have hope.

Early reports have put it as THE most faithful adaptation of a comic to film. I'm so psyched.
Incidentally, early repoarts have also stated that most women hated it due to the portrayal of the female characters.
In the comic, they were pretty much all prostitutes.

I saw it...it was good. Interesting but good.
Not my favorite comic movie yet, but very well done.
I also think you need to watch it two times to really appreciate it, there is symbolism in the black and white and color, but I found if I concetrated too hard looking for all the color nuances, I would stop paying attention to the story. It is weird, doesn't happen with subtitles for me, maybe it is just hte way my brain works /shrug.

Massive bump.
We're watching this in segments. We watched the Bruce Willis beginning and the Mickey Rourke part. At the end of the Mickey Rourke part, I said, 'MR has always been a good actor.'
Veb says, 'Oh THAT was Mickey Rourke? I've watched that movie twice and I kept looking for him. When did you know that was him?'
'When the previews were out and they said it was him?'
Goober husband. /grin
I like it so far, Jessica Alba is the HOT.

Sin City is best enjoyed by watching it in one sitting, after reading all the relevant comics.

This movie is just wonderful!! I've never read the comics but I loved it! And I am going to buy the DVD, which for me.. I don't spend money often. So, it says something if you knew me lol!

Mike told me not to watch this movie because I tend to shrink back from excessive, unnecessary violence. But it seems to me that the violence in this movie is necessary (ala Kill Bill). What's the official vote on this?

I'm holding out for the special edition DVD, but I loved the movie and the comic.
Oh yeah, Frank Miller was the priest in Marv's story.

Gilae,
All violence is necessary IMO.

Hmmm it's a tough call Gil. Some of it is necessary, some of it is what makes it necessary. I would say start watching it. I have a feeling the black and white of it will take away a lot of the squeemishness of it. I know it did for me.

My husband got a tongue lashing at the store today when I realized there's a cover with my woman on it (Jessica Alba duh) and he got the one with Britney Murphy or whatever her name is... he said they didn't have her at the time, so he's lucky. It could have gotten really ugly down at the Wal-Mart....

Yeah I asked Mike the same thing.
'Oh, what cover did you get?'
'The bruuce willis/jessica alba one.'
Gives him a look, 'Why did I think otherwise...'
But that's ok, she is THE HOTNESS!
