Re: Sin City

Re: Sin City

I can be way off drip but I think he is a purist who didn't like Rodriguez interp or the hollywood aspect... that is what I gathered but could be wrong

Re: Sin City

No, not a Miller fan. Been dumbfounded by the inexplicable popularity of his bad art and worse writing for the last 20 years. Saw the Sin City movie because I wanted to have an informed opinion about it. And because it was free.

Re: Sin City

I was never really a fan of Millers artwork, but the movie looks badass. I am so there tomorrow.

Re: Sin City

How did you get to see it early?

Re: Sin City

Frank Miller's by far my favorite comic book writer (Brian Michael Bendis is a close second). In fact last week I reread The Dark Knight Returns and The Dark Knight Strikes Back just for the hell of it.

Sin City I can't wait for, I went so far as going to Best Buy today and got a CD I was not interested in getting so I could get the free Sin City preview DVD.

I'm really excited, in fact I don't thing excited is the right word. There are many key moments from the books that I want to see how they handle in the movie. It's got an R rating so I'm very curious to see some very specific and violent scenes and how they are handled. I'm sure if you have read Sin City, The Big Fat Kill and That Yellow Bastard you'll have some idea of what I'm getting at.

Re: Sin City

It looks interesting. I'm not that familiar with Miller's work, but I am a fan of noir. I predict big box office.
I am also a cheapskate, so I'll probably wait for it to reach the cheap theaters. [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

Re: Sin City

After thinking about it some more, I do respect the film as a successful experiment. No other live-action movie has ever been made as a perfect panel-to-panel rendering of a comic book, and only a few animated ones. Check out many movies' storyboards and it's sometimes difficult to even match the boards to shots in the film. Not here!

I'd rank it alongside Blair Witch Project, in that it was a successful experimental film but not a very entertaining movie.

Re: Sin City

It was a great movie as I expected. My only complaint is that at some of the more brutal scenes they changed the composition of the shot from what was in the comic so it comes off as less violent. Also, two nude sceens from the book were done but with clothes on (albeit underware).

Re: Sin City

I can't wait to see this. I'm a 1/2 Miller fan - he's written some of my favorite comics and some of my least favorite, and I've never read any of Sin City. The first Wolverine book, Batman: Year One and The Dark Knight Returns were some of the best stuff I've ever read, but then there was The Dark Knight Strikes Back, which was dreadful (and I'm not talking about the art, which I kind of dug), and some other one-off stuff I've read.

Now, having no expectations since I never read Sin City, I hope it will all be fresh and cool.

Re: Sin City

I love Frank Miller's work. I thought the movie was awesome. Hopefully more comic book adaptations will be made that are more faithful to the source, unlike all the crappy ass Batman movies to date, including the Tim Burton ones.
