I just saw this movie last night and have to say it is pretty damn incredible. I was not previously familiar with Frank Miller's comic so going into it I had no expectations or concerns on whether or not it stayed true to the comic. After seeing it I can say it a great adaptation from a comic book. I have since checked out the stories online... there aren't a lot of them.

And to tie this into travel. I can honestly say I don't think I would visit Sin City during my travels if it were a real place.

It took a while to get into the stilted dialogue, I thought. At first, I thought it was a joke and things would revert to something normal. Then it was like someone pounding on piano keys.....then I got into it. Pretty good film, all in all. And fun. The funny lines just sort of snuck up on you. Went to the comic store next door immediately after, and saw that they kept the film pretty close to the books.

Elijah Wood cracked me up. He sure wasn't going to TRAVEL very far at the end there, was he?

Piecar,

haha nope... that was a great scene!

Just got back from seeing Sin City...I liked it alot, too. I liked the use of color, and the drawn or painted backgrounds.

Very visually arresting, modern film noir, but definitely not for everyone.

The vignette with Clive Owen was my favorite.

OK, ready for 6 Degrees of Kevin Bacon?

Roberto Rodriguez lost his Director's Guild membership making this film, because he insisted that the comic's creator Frank Miller directed some parts of the movie. Gutsy.
Frank Miller also wrote a few movie scripts, including Robocop 2 in which he played a drug-manufacturing scientist.
Together with Geoff Darrow, Frank Miller did two other comic projects, 'Big Guy & Rusty the Boy Robot' which we worked on at Sony as a cartoon. And 'Hard Boiled'.
Geoff Darrow was the chief designer for the Matrix films because the Wachowski Brothers liked his artwork so much.
The Wachowski Brothers are about to make 'V for Vendetta' based on the graphic novel by Alan Moore, the greatest living comic writer.
Alan Moore wrote 'League of Extraordinary Gentlemen' and also 'From Hell', which was turned into the Johnny Depp movie, with Australian artist Eddie Campbell.
I lived next door to Eddie Campbell in Brisbane for a few years and we'd talk comics in his back yard over a few beers.
I've also started drawing comics and want to be where these guys are already! Hahahha. There you go.

Borderland, I don't see how this connects you to Kevin Bacon? Was he your plumber while you lived next door to Eddie Campbell? haha

Hooray for comic books!

Saw Sin City...amazing. Saw it again the other night. For those of you haven't read the comic book, or don't intend to, this comparison website should help give you a better idea of just how close the movie was to the original.
