Thought about posting this under the "bad comic book movies" thread, however, since I didn't think it was a bad comic book movie, I made a new one.

To paraphrase Denis Miller, this is my opinion, I could be wrong. For those of you who've read the Sin City books, apart from a few omissions and a couple changes, I think that most people would find the movie a faithful adaptation covering the original Sin City story, The Big Fat Kill and The Yellow Bastard. However, that doesn't mean you'll like the movie. The comics were dramatic noir, where the movie was campy, dramatic noir. It seemed to jump around a bit, and some edits could've been better. I won't go into what I mean for those who haven't read the books so I won't give away anything in the movie.

A lot of the nudity was gone, mostly because they cast actresses that don't do nude scenes (though, thankfully, the Yellow Bastard kept his pants on in the movie). Carla Gugino showed quite a bit as Lucille, but stayed her natrual brunette instead of being a blonde. Devon Aoki wouldn't have been my first choice as "deadly little Miho", but she certainly did an excellent job. The rest of the girls, Alba, Brittany Murphy and Jamie King did decent jobs. Didn't much care for Rosario Dawson though she looked great.

As for some of the guys, Mickey Rourke and Bruce Willis kicked ass as Marv and Hardigan. Michael Madsen was horrible as Hardigan's partner, Bob. Clive Owen as Dwight and Benicio del Toro as Jack were great. And Elija Wood as Kevin was just perfectly freaky.

While I loved the movie, at a two hour running time, it can seem to stretch a bit. I recommend seeing it. Be warned though, it's not for the faint of heart, even in black & white.

I heard mixed reviews about this movie....

Might hold on watching it immediately, as a few people I spoke to was disappointed by it. I haven't actually read the comic so it might be hard for me to compare the movie difference from the comic version.

Want to hear Jeff's review actually....

Have you had a chance to watch it Jeff?
