This movie sucked. Micky Rourke did OK but overall comic books are for geeks and homos. Don't go see it. I walked out in the middle of it. Terrible movie. I saw Sahara too which is way better and believable and then Upside of Anger which is totally believable. If you want to see a cartoon with Actor-but-animated characters who think they are this and they are that then go see Sin City. All the liberal critics gave this movie 4/4, 5/5 stars. I'll never trust a liberal critic's review again. Again, this movie is for and made by wannabe pansies. Save your money. I hate comic book movies too. Such a waste.

Should have watched the end.

Comic books are for geeks and homos? I'm sorry, but you've lost all credibility by throwing some pretty offensive slurs at those who actually liked the film. You haven't seen many comic book films have you? Batman Begins will ultimately reign as one of the best when it comes out in June.

I try to stay away from movies that won't enhance my relationship with God...I dunno. seems a bit strange for Christians to go see a movie with a title that describes a city teeming with sin....hmmm..toughie there.

Like I said - shallow. You haven't the guts nor "the time" to debate me on this, thus you are a coward as most atheists are - like your boys in that movie you seem to like so much, "Sin City."

Ah, the typical response when I try to be a bigger person and leave. I'm not discussing religion with you because I'll end up insulting Christianity just to hurt you. Also, when I say this isn't the place, I mean it would be off topic and spam. Yes, there are other rules than the ones written on two rocks. Ah, there I go, slipping into insults. If you want to debate your religion and my belief with me, PM me.

Please enlighten me.

No surprise you need enlightenment.

Batman Begins pfft. I'll stay home thank you. If you like the capes and the costumes as an adult then by all means go see it.

I had no idea that the movie, Sin City, was derived from a comic book. I simply skim the critics ratings and assume it might be a good movie. This movie DID get excellent rating across the board by the liberal media left elitists. Sahara got bad reviews but I liked it as it was uplifting and made me laugh at times. Sin City was a real downer and had no storyline, plot, focus, or direction to it. It just meanders around to and fro, if and about, like a sick cartoon from one of those street papers you can pick up for free at a downtown laundry mat - you know those hemp papers that push every liberal-leaning agenda they can cram into it - the papers ran by atheistic/anti-christian tree huggers advertising massage therapists, hookers and adult film hire-for-help classifieds.

Yes, ignore the fact that it's got Christopher Nolan as director and an ensemble of Oscar winners/nominees. It's already being given more positive buzz than any other film this summer. It's not just one of those conventional superhero films btw. But you'd have to actually know what a good film is to understand that.

I know a good film when I see it. It's called "The Passion."

A much more bloody and gorey film than Sin City. Ironic.

I don't think the problem with Sin City was the fact that there was sin everywhere in the city. That doesn't make it a bad movie. If the sin is portrayed as the wrong thing to do, then the movie is not supporting that sin. However, there were a few times when it seemed like the movie was saying "this thing is OK" and those were the parts I didn't like about. It's kind of like the Lord of the Rings. I have a friend who's parents won't let her see it because they believe magic is evil. However, what they didn't realize was that in the movie all the magicians but one are evil, and even he uses magic only twice that I can think of off the top of my head. Most of the time, magic was used by the evil charachters. The movie did not promote magic, but it did have magic in it. If a movie had no sin in it, nobody doing the wrong thing, it would hardly be a movie. How can we see a conflict of good an evil with no evil?

Well, as I read through this thread I see MANY more complaints about the nudity than I do about the violence. For some reason people seem to think seeing a woman topless is worse than seeing a man being dismembered. I’ve never been able to wrap my brain around that whole “Sex is worse than violence” idea.

Well, I can't speak for everybody, or even every christian, but I know why this is true for me. Neither the topless woman nor the man being dismembered are real. They are both in a movie. So neither, by itself, is actually wrong. Whats wrong is the fact that they are being shown to us, people that are supposed to have pure hearts. Now, I do not like to see violence because if I see it too much I will become desenstized and will not fully somprehend it if I see somthing like it in real life. However, the naked woman presents a temptation. As a christian, it is a sin for me to have sexual relations of to lust after a woman that is not my wife. Seeing a man dismembered does not tempt me to dismember a man. Seeing a topless woman might tempt me to lust after her.

That is why I consider the topless woman worse in a movie. Obviously, if this were real life, I would rather be tempted by a topless woman than actually witness a real man be dismembered.

I hope this helps to clear it up a bit.

Well, when someone complains about the content of a movie, they have no one to blame but themselves. The movie rating included gore, blood, violence, nudity, language, etc. So, who is going to see the movie with expectations of a church worthy film if they had read the movie rating?

Sin City had no point - not even a moral to the story - story?? - to it like that movie with Woody Harrelson - Natural Born Killers. Sin City = violent cartoon and a load of BS. Oh, and I could care less about "Goldie," his hooker. What a loser was Marv

"The Passion" did have a point - the upmost point - Jesus, perfectly innocent, willingly taking on the punishment and death to serve his Father in Heaven to show the world His love for His creation and our only way to redemption.

Sin City had a story. In fact it had three that happened to intertwine with each other. It's not hard to miss the story. "Sin City" is a exaggerated dramatization of what our world is today. We have corruption at every corner of the globe. We have murder happening all over. Sex is no longer sacred to many. Hypocrisy is common among alleged Christians. You can't compare "Sin City" to "The Passion of the Christ". They're different films in different genres. Why don't you compare "Love Actually" with "The Rock" while you're at it?!

Well, if you'd see ANY of the movie you'd see that Cartigan did the same. No I'm not saying he was equal to Jesus, wouldn't want your pants to get in a knot. I'm saying he was innocent, willing the take the punishment and death to save the life of another, and did this in true sacrifice to save another, the only way to give them freedom. You must be quite blind to have not seen that.

Please tell me the stories of Sin City, then, and how they all intertwined..and..who the heck is Frank Miller next to Mel Gibson??

Well, they intertwined at the bar, for one. If you look at Cartigan's story you can see Marv and Jack at the bar together. And Frank Miller has more talent in directing than Mel Gibson has in anything he could possibly hope to achieve. Mel Gibson has money, not a vision.

 

[HaloRoundMyHead]

meh..Marv would have died in the fall down the stair case when running from the cops not to mention all the bullets he took to the forehead etc. This was a cartoon like "The Hulk," of which I didn't see at all. I wasted a whole half hour watching this **** called "Sin City" man o man.
