This movie looks absolutely stunning.  Great cast and the closest thing since Ang Lee's Hulk to capturing a comic book.

This is definitely going to be a good movie. I love how they used selective coloring.  Stuff like making Yellow Bastard completely yellow and I remember a scene where the woman's lips are a vibrant red. I just appreciate it when movies have a prominent sense of style. They really went all out with the cast too, which may be good thing.

I finally saw an ad for Sin City on TV.  The preview looks fantastic on the bigger TV screen.  Mickey Rourke, Benicio Del Torro and Bruce Willis... friggin sweet.

I haven't ever saw this movie, but I have read all the "Sin City"-comic books I have got... Great stuff, have to say... If you saw the movie, you should read the comics.

Sin City is still another few days out. Looks like it's going to be pretty true to the comic books.

Elija's not the only freak... Just about everyone has some sadistic tendencies in this.

What a beautiful piece of work.  The closest movie I can think of in terms of style is probably Kill Bill with a dash of Pleasantville thrown in.

Check out these shot for shot comparisons between the comic and movie.  Robert Rodriguez and Frank Miller both deserve heaps of praise for staying true to the material if nothing else.
