Tony the Tiger Posted April 3, 2005 Posted April 3, 2005 What an amazing movie. Unlike any other movie I've ever seen. A lot of good action sequences coupled with visuals that were impressive and unique. I was a little bit worried when I saw the previews that the look of the movie would get annoying after a while. That didn't turn out to be a problem. Quite the opposite in fact. My recomendation comes with one caveat. If you don't like violence, naked girls, or swearing then this isn't the movie for you. 294095[/snapback] I saw Sin City Today and agree with you 100 percent. I cannot believe that Entertainment Weekly gave it a C+, A+ all the way IMHO.
Dr. Fong Posted April 3, 2005 Author Posted April 3, 2005 I cannot believe that Entertainment Weekly gave it a C+ 294484[/snapback] What a ridiculous grade. Another reason that I'm glad I cancelled my subscription to EW.

I cannot believe that Entertainment Weekly gave it a C+, A+ all the way IMHO. 294484[/snapback] C+ ? I wonder what they gave steaming piles of garbage like Beauty Shop and Miss Congeniality 2 ?? Sin City is a very rare movie. I might go see it again tomorrow.... Now, to decide to take the wife or not...Hmmmmmmmm....

I checked out the reviews over at rotten tomatoes, and EW was'nt the only publication to give Sin City a fair-to-bad review. I do believe that Sin City will be a word-of-mouth-movie, and that will keep it going strong. Which is good considering the flaming piles of dung we have coming out next week in "Fever Pitch" & "Sahara".
JÂy RÛßeÒ Posted April 4, 2005 Posted April 4, 2005 It looks like it was co-directed by Robert Rodriquez, who directed the Spy Kids flicks. He also did the Mariachi movies which explains the gore and violence.
Dan III Posted April 4, 2005 Posted April 4, 2005 Mickey Rourke did a great job btw. My favorite character in the movie. Who was yours? 294292[/snapback] Marv was my fav... but the dude that got shot with the arrow.. "should I go to the hospital???"

He wanted to ensure that it was done to his standards.

Tony the Tiger Posted April 4, 2005 Posted April 4, 2005 Ebert and his partner, forget his name, both gave Sin City a thumbs up and rave bigtime about it.
Hollywood Donahoe Posted April 4, 2005 Posted April 4, 2005 Awesome movie. I'm not really sure anyone could give it a C+. The EW reviewer mustn't have been watching the same move I was, because the one I saw was incredibly cool and entertaining.
