I just went to see this film and i must say its the most far fetched film I have ever seen but also one of the most entertating. All three storylines were briliant, especially Mice Rourke as the vigilante trying to avenge the death of Goldie. Alot of cameos, and even the imperious Michael Clarke-Duncan was brilliant even though his role was small

What do you peeps who watched thin of this film

The Film visualy was outstanding. The script was awful - I know it's based on a graphic novel, it was a mishmash of wannabe film noir that didn't sound hard boiled but glossy. Willis was rubbish again - time to retire I think! Benicio Del Toro was wasted. the female roles were weak, Noir femme fetals are usually strong with significant roles. I know Miho kicked some ass but she had to wait for Clive Owen to tell her to. In the days of Baffy and Kill bill this representation of women seems old hat. The action was good thou and so was Mickey rourke.

Sin City, in a word, FANTASTIC. I know women aren’t supposed to enjoy this type of films but damn I was blown away, from beginning to end, it’s absolutely incredible. The film is in black and white with the occasional splash of colour used so appropriately, just brilliant.

Don’t expect good story lines… it’s very simple typical comic book story lines… you know the Women are always scantily dressed, and the men are macho and very simple, fighting and killing anyone that gets in their way lol. Some cheesy story lines and cliché scenes.

The scene with Rosario Dawson and Clive Owen has to be the most ridiculous, so cliché I had to laugh out loud.

Mickey Rourke (Marv) is just as bad as he wanna be … he completely steals the show as the indestructible menace tearing through Sin City. He also had the majority of the cheesiest lines. But his sequence was by far the best.

I didn’t even recognise Benicio Del Toro and I agree they could have done more with him.

Oh yeh, Elijah Wood’s character was good, made me cringe a few times there, some awful scenes.

I enjoyed it so much i am going to watch it again during the week clp)

4.5 out of 5

One thing, I guess the film is abot sexist. however you will struggle to find an ensemble female cast as good looking as these lot, especially jessica Alba

I saw it over the weekend and I'd say it is the best comic book adaption turned into a film. It stays true to the original story and characters without fabricating and changing sh*t around.

Excellent movie.
