Sin City (2005)

I searched multiple forums but couldn't find an existing thread.

Seriously................this film is magnificent and amazing.

My honest opinion is that it's the greatest comic book adaptation ever made. It's just great on every level and I own every comic book, too.

My favorite segment is "That Yellow Bastard". Superb acting and tension. The only bummer is that Jessica Alba refused to dance nude like in the comic book.

The sequel, A Dame to Kill For, was shockingly not that great and very underwhelming.

What are your opinions?

i enjoyed the film. good violence. story was pretty good..

sequel sucked

Great film

i ended up getting the Recut and Extended Special Edition way back in 2005 when it was released, Came with Volume 1 of Sin City.

Sin City was great.

Sin City is one of my all-time favorite movies. It truly is an uncompromising masterpiece.

I actually revisited it a few months ago and found it better than I remembered. I just thought the ending was underwhelming. But otherwise it's still pretty good. Obviously it's not as good as Yellow Bastard and all, but still entertaining. Part of the problem is that it came out around the same time as the 300 sequel with Eva Green in another similar lead role and something felt canned and stock about that.

First movie: Yeah!

Sequel: Meh

Another CBM after Watchmen to make the scenes shot to shot from the comic

Absolutely loved it and saw it several times in the theater when it came out. I’ve always been a fan of noir when done right, and Sin City hit all of the bullet points, literally.

Comic Book Movie

Great movie. As for the sequel, well...to quote Jay Sherman: it stinks!

It is still quite possibly the best comic book movie ever, even after all The Dark Knights, The Logans, The Guardians of the Galaxies, The Infinity Wars and the Endgames.

My favorite performance was Mickey Rourke as Marv, and my favorite storyline was That Yellow Bastard.

Sin City as well is Robert Rodriguez's best film by a country mile, and is the best example of directors who do nearly everything they can (direct, edit, produce, write, music, etc.) by their lonesome.
