Sin City extended dvd...with graphic novel

always been a fan of sin city....and the extended addition is great with an extra 30 mins than the theatrical release....I am also a huge fan of Frank Miller and graphic novel's in general....This DVD package comes with the first sin city graphic novel "The Hard Goodbye", which features Marv, Goldie, and Wendy as Marv avenges Goldies' death...Havn't read all of the Sin City novels, but as far as I can tell the movie is a compilation of three Sin City novels...The Hard Goodbye, The Big Fat Kill, and that Yellow Bastard....Do yourself a favor and get this movie and read the sin city novels...they are incrediby good quick reads....Read full review...

A severely underrated classic

One watches Sin City and it’s equally well done (perhaps better) sequel and wonders: “Who did Frank Miller have to tick off to get this to become so underrated?” For fans of true noir, this is a kairotic moment movie: setting what I think many could argue is THE true break between the black-and-white, grainy, overstated and undervalued crime noirs of the 1950-60’s to what I hope we see more of in the future.

Each character was exceptionally well cast. Outstanding displays by Bruce Willis, Elijah Wood, Jessica Alba and Mickey Rourke. Awesome costume and special effects. Anything Rosario Dawson is in should have most noir fans clamoring, anyway. She plays perfectly to the film in both content and thematically. Enough skin and grit to make John Wayne blush and Marilyn Monroe fawn. Gotta love it.

The movie plays in a several-overlapping-story-arc confluence that kept me anxious for the next visual treat - and there were many. Beautifully conceptualized cinematography (realize that 90 percent of the scenery was CG). This is the best comic-to-movie adaptation that is out there. Hands down. This is a film that gives a long overdue ode to the pencilers and colorists in trade paperback. God and Hollywood forbid a movie that won’t spoon-feed you the morals and constitutionality of the characters... which is why I think this is as underrated as previously stated.

If you have read this far and I don’t think you can watch it and not feel that this was a hidden gem you overlooked for years.

In addition to the movie, this comes with a wonderful complete graphic novel (that’s worth it, in and of itself) and a bonus disc with all that stuff that I love to collect but never usually watch anyway.

The only way this could be better is if it were on Blu Ray, but that’s a small price to pay for such a great flick. Grab it.Read full review...

Sin City (extended cut)

This movie is great. The extended cut offers two things-awesome bonus features, most notably Robert Rodriguez's 10 min. cooking school, and the ability to watch all four segments seperately from start to finish. The extra footage not seen in the other release is nothing to write home about, seems to be all in the Bruce Willis segments. Do not buy because you might be missing out on some lost footage, but if you like the 10 min cooking school or the 10 min flick schools that Robert Rodriguez puts together than sell your copy of Sin City and buy the extended cut. It also has the original release on a seperate disc.Read full review...

SPECTACULAR!!!

Sin City

If you're reading this review trying to decide on buying Sin City all I can say is BUY IT. Buy it now. It's one of my all-time favorite movies.

Sin City features one of the best casts ever assembled for an action/comic book movie. The story is superb and the action is second to none.

Final Verdict:

5/5

Rent or Buy?: I'd marry Sin City if I could, it's that good. Trust me, buy it now and thank me later.

two disk edition with comic: Sin City

This edition is truly the best one on the market! It comes with the graphic novel "The Hard Goodbye", and disk one has the theatrical version, while disk two has the extended versions of each story, split up into the actual books, as intended. There are also special features like a "green screen version" of the film where you can watch the entire thing without any special effects at all (however, why anyone would ever want to do that is beyond me).Read full review...

I love this movie...

I loved this movie not because of the sauciness, but of the story of a person whom has destroyed a relationship between another person whom gets big time revenge, but it comes at a price. Oh, so suspenseful, so sexy, so down right bitter sweet revenge at a price to protect a love affair between one another but at a price, if you like this movie about relationships then this is for you..enjoy bitter sweet revenge at a priceRead full review...

ARTISTIC

Besides the cool action seens and strange bad guy/good guys twists and turns...

This movie is a great movie. Certainly not for those who cannot critically think or those who are not into movies with great imagry. This movie is fulled with beautiful and strange color. It makes you think about why red was used in part A/B/C or why her eyes are green. It is a beautifully done movie for those who love the art of our age.

If for no other reason it is a must see, becuase of the artistic approach! Certainly something I can see used in a college class. Not to bad for those comic fans either!

PLEASE CLICK IF THIS WAS HELPFUL OR NOT. THANKSRead full review...

Simply For The Simple Minds

Wow, I had great hopes for this movie when I saw the previews, but it was just dissappointing, and even more, sad to see that people actually like this movie. If you like really bad dialogue, acting, pointless plots, and needless gore and voilence then sadly, I guess this movie was made just for you in mind. If you favor intelligence, then don't waste your time. The violence level in this film disturbed even me, its not that i have a problem with violence and gore, but I feel there should be a point or reason to it. Sin City had the most needless and pointless violence I think I have ever seen in any film to date, but I assume 300 will be much the same. I did however like the black and white contrast, but even that is not original, remember Schindler's List, probably not. This movie is just terrible especially for being one of the most over-hyped movies ever, well, don't buy into it.

RATING: 0 / 5 STARS

Recommended Movies :

Excellent film

This version of the film is definitely the one to buy. The killer feature is the ability to play any of the four stories separately. There is also additional footage added, which is nice. The packaging is good, but not phenomenal. There is a full comic included of The Hard Goodbye, which I will soon be reading. If you find this at a bargain and liked the movie in the theaters, then this is a must-buy.Read full review...

A great deal

The Sin City Special Edition DVD set was a great deal. Not only does it include the movie disc and the bonus disc, it also comes with a mini full length copy of the first graphic novel in the series. I actually bought two sets as gifts for my brother and husband. They are both really into the movie and I thought it would be the perfect gift for someone that would like to know more about the movie and how it was created. I recommend this set for anyone that loves the movie and would like to get the most for their money.Read full review...
