We are actually going out to Woodridge to go to Hollywood Blvd Theatre (where you can eat and drink it up while watching the movie).

I actually really want to see this... and I'm not usually a big fan of action movies. I haven't seen a movie in ages so this is the perfect opportunity.

I saw it today (I prefer matinee movies) and I liked it. It was different, I had never heard of this before I saw the previews so I didn't know what to really expect but was pleasantly surprised.

It kicks all kinds of ass. So many scene stealers you can't even count them all, but Mickey Rourke is sooooooo Marv. This is the new measuring stick for comic movies. Needless to say, I liked it.

I saw it with the bf and his friend yesterday, good stuff. He had me read the three sin city books in the movie and I thought it was awesome. It stayed true to the comics and didn't add lots of profanity.

I was impressed with the usage of black and white with a hint of color too!

Can we say boring five times really quickly? If you can then you will enjoy yourself much more than if you went to see this movie.

The concept in our time of this movie with its cinematography and play on colors, its use of violence is enjoyable. 2 hours of this bullshit is so boring that I wonder how much you truly can enjoy it. If you're the kind that enjoys reptitive scenes with no true progression or depth, then this is your kinda movie. If I had gotten up after the first hour and walked out, I would have liked the movie. It makes me wonder why he chose to take 3 stories and show them and create such a long movie.

Rudey,

I actually agree with you. I have to confess that I mainly wanted to see Benecio and Nick Stahl (though he was creepy in this movie.) But I also wanted to support Robert Rodriguez since he is an Austinite and the entire movie was filmed here in Austin.

Saw it. Hated it.

Granted, I didn't read the graphic novels, and maybe it's just a sign of my rapidly advancing age, but the movie was disgustingly violent and just about sickened me. There was only about 40% of the movie I could actually stand to watch. It's too bad, because it is a visually stunning film.

Overall I loved it and now want the DVD

However, there were some parts that could have been much better.
