Watch something else. There are very few redeeming qualities to this film.

I have absolutely never seen anything like this movie before. You have to see this movie.

Although I seem to have had higher expectations than I thought, the movie is super entertaining.

One of the best movies of the year! Incredible from the beginning to the end.

Not your normal movie. Was it good? Yes, but not epic. If I never see it again, that's just fine. Is it worth a watch once? Yes

I am utterly baffled by the good response that this movie has been getting. I've never read a comic book in my life, so I can't judge the "accuracy" of this movie's adaptation, but if this is what the comic book is like, then I don't want to read it.This movie has no substance behind it. The characters are either sex objects, action heroes, or both. There are no stakes and I had zero investment into the characters or the story. A character can get beat up, shot several times, run over by a truck, and drowned and still end up fine if they are a main character. The story is not very interesting at all, and it goes in so many random directions that I have trouble remembering what happened and why, although I have a feeling that all this was done on purpose, so as to not get in the way of the stylized action. Speaking of which...The black and white with small sprinkles of color gets old fast and it reminds me why almost all movies are in color. There is nothing visually interesting done with the small amount of color that is in the movie. The action is subpar at best, and a lot of it is just straight up bad. The voiceover is seriously annoying as well. I understand that noir films are supposed to have voice over and it's an artistic choice, but it serves no real purpose in this movie. Sure, sometimes it opens a window into the protagonist's mind, but most of the time it's just describing what we already know.I just can't understand the praise this movie is getting.

This movie enters in the typical description of "style over substance". But what a style! the story is nothing over the top, but anyway, visually speaking its outstanding, specially if you consider that it was done in 2005, more than 10 years ago. Yeah, it have it's flaws and its very predictable but I think overall it is an acceptable film.

If film noir was not a genre, but a hard man on mean streets with a lost lovely in his heart and a gat in his gut, his nightmares would look like "Sin City." The new movie by Robert Rodriguez and Frank Miller plays like a convention at the movie museum in Quentin Tarantino's subconscious. A-list action stars rub shoulders with snaky villains and sexy wenches, in a city where the streets are always wet, the cars are ragtops and everybody smokes. It's a black-and-white world, except for blood, which is red, eyes which are green, hair which is blond, and the Yellow Bastard. This isn't an adaptation of a comic book, it's like a comic book brought to life and pumped with steroids. It contains characters who occupy stories, but to describe the characters and summarize the stories would be like replacing the weather with a weather map.
