And how can I ever look at Frodo the same way again?

Sin City is a fantastic film.
I give it four stars (or more accurately, four emphatic gun blasts)!
I'm betting I will see this film at least twice again before it leaves the theaters. Man oh man. Easily the best comic book adaptation yet. It's amazing what can be accomplished when you stick to the source material and hire as co-director the creator of said source material.
Early returns had Sin City pulling in $28 million and winning the weekend. I hope these digits warrant the funding of a sequel!

Here! Here!
There was plenty of eye candy. Also Jessica alba is as hot in t-shirt and jeans as about ten other folks are nude.
It was altogether beautiful and very true to miller's style (haven't read sin city so I can't comment there.)
If Frank will direct the next batman film I may forgive him for DK2.

You guys really liked it that much? I thought it was just the same thing over and over again. Big brute save girl from mean man.
I was hoping for some more skin from Jessica myself. Too bad though.
I wouldn't say it's a terrible movie or anything, but once was enough for me.

Just "big brute saves girl from mean man", hmmm Zeek? Then how does that account for the deaths of Goldie, Lucille, Becky, and the 6 prostitutes??? Perhaps they were bruteless. Plus, it may seem like the big brutes have the edge, but did you happen to see ANY of the scenes in Old Town? It seemed pretty obvious to me that those girls can take care of themselves, especially Gail and Miho. 
I agree that it was one of the best comics adaptions, hands down. I mean, a lot of it is panel-for-panel and exact dialogue from the brilliant graphic novels. I too, will probably see it again before it leaves theaters. It's not that I think it's the greatest movie ever made, or the dead sea scrolls or anything, but at least it's not 
"Beauty Shop".

Did anyone else think Kevin (Elijah) looked a lot like Professor Tomo(sp) from Sailor Moon with the glasses on?
Loved the movie.
Keep shiny!

Sadly, that DID cross my mind when I first saw him.

Does that mean Devon Aoki shows some skin?
Pleases say yes.Pleases say yes.Pleases say yes.

Yes, and she acts circles around Jessica Alba and her Magical Undulating Torso; this makes me worry about the Fantastic Four movie, 'cause this leaves just Michael Chiklis to carry the film....
In any case, for those curious, here's a nice article on _Sin City_....

And here's my two cents....
