It's a little too brutal at some points, however most violence does surve a purpose.

DC Comics Watchmen meets Tarantino.

Brilliant adaptation of the source work.

that comics book look when it film.

OK but not great movie. Sometimes it is rather hard to follow the different stories.

I don't know why people regard this film in such high esteem. Sure, the visual effects are nice and something else. Above that, storywise, I find this movie highly eratic, incoherent, unnecessarily violent... It is one thing to tackle taboo topics like cannibalism and prostitution but a whole nother story to celebrate it.

Among the few things I liked about this movie:
Josh Hartnett as a professional hitman opening the movie in order to explain the ending (one instance they spared us all the bloodshed, I wonder how that happend).
Equally how the storyarcs about Goldy and Nancy close with the exact same text spoken as voice over as they began.

Sure, there are elements that those different story arcs partially share, old town and the rock farm, the powerhungry rockfamily in general, but it would be extremely exagerated to say that this would tie the story arcs together, there is no real connection. It's more like someone threw paint at a canvas and accidentally two drops hit the same spot.

all this 50s detective movie charm cannot help me over this erratic storytelling.

Why is the internet gatekeeping the Theatrical Cut??? Everyone on the internet is saying the Recut version is worse and honestly... I can see why, but I can't find the original anywhere.

_Sin City_ is an incredible movie that stays true to its comic book roots in terms of both its storyline and cinematography. The movie is visually stunning, with a black-and-white aesthetic that perfectly captures the noir-inspired world of the comics. The acting is also excellent, with an all-star cast that includes Bruce Willis, Mickey Rourke, and Jessica Alba, among others. Each actor brings their A-game to their respective roles, bringing the colorful characters of the comics to life in an unforgettable way. _Sin City_ is complex, engaging, and for anyone who loves comics or just great movies in general.

A good comic book film. The Black and White effects and comic look of the film were great as was Mickey Rourke as "Marv" and Carla Gugino as "Lucille". It was enjoyable and better than I thought it was going to be.

Hartigan: Just one hour to go. My last day on the job. Early retirement. Not my idea. Doctor's orders. Heart condition. Angina, he calls it. I'm polishing my badge and getting used to the idea of saying goodbye to it. It and the 30 odd years of protecting and serving and tears and... blood and terror... triumph it represents. I'm thinking about Ilene's slow smile, bout the thick, fat steak she picked up at the butchers today. I'm thinking about the one loose end I haven't tied up. A young girl who's out there somewhere, helpless in the hands of a drooling lunatic.

La puesta en escena es genial, pero ningún personaje es carismático o no cuenta con el tiempo suficiente para demostrarlo. No se si es por que la ví en versión DVD, pero es muy molesto ver los créditos completos cada vez que terminaba una historia.

This is the kind of film that you're probably going to really really like or really really hate. I would absolutely put myself into the former category.

The movie is made up of three different stories taken from the comic book. The film is shot entirely in green screen and the backdrops are unique in that they are almost completely black and white while the foreground does have rich color in it. The result is a film that is even darker than "The Dark Knight".

The acting, direction and stories are fantastic. The nice thing about this film is that the backdrop allows the story to go in any direction. There is no time spent on backstories or anything like that. You're dropped right into the story.

One warning: the movie is extremely violent but the violence is rather cartoonish.
