Sin City Pre-screening review! - Aquarium Advice

cJw · 04-01-2005, 11:15 AM

Hey hey - a coworker of mine got free tix to this; I couldn't make it

but here's his comment this morning:

Quote:

"The preview last night was awesome. They had security at the door asking if you had recording devices or camera phones. I wish I had my camera once I sat down to take a picture of the cop using night vision during the movie to spot bootleggers.

This review is pretty spot on. http://www.cnn.com/2005/SHOWBIZ/Movi...ity/index.html

If youâ€™re in the â€œHard-core action junkies, comic book geeks and the young male movie-going demographicâ€ indicated in the review youâ€™ll love it. They could have tied the stories together better, but I liked the serial feel to it."

I have seen several clips, and the one thing I can say is that it is visually stunning.

Absolutely. . . check out this link, comparing the panels in the graphic novel to the scenes in the movie:

Stephen was saying the paper only gave it 2 stars and that the plot was weak.

I still wanna see it tho =o)

cJw · 04-02-2005, 08:30 AM

LoL - I give reviews zero weight. A weak plot in a movie made from a serial graphic novel? pfffft.

lyquidphyre · 04-02-2005, 08:41 AM

Thats what I thought, too... you never know though =o)

It looks amazing and hopefully Ill get to see it in theaters

Maybe it will make my old sin city comics worth something

(probably not

)

It was great! I'm horrible at reviews, so I'll let others tell you about it, but my wife and I thoroughly enjoyed it.

For those that watched it...I'm thinking back over the movie--were there any swears in the movie? (I don't need to know what they were

) I know they didn't drop the f bomb, but now that I think about it I don't think they swore at all.
