Easily Amused
We saw Sin City the other night. I enjoyed it quite a bit, and so did my wife... though I'd hesitate to recommend it to anyone bothered by gore or violence or cannibalism or sexual assault or etc, etc, etc. The movie is about all these things, but doesn't glorify them... and the movie's heroes, such as they are, are the people who fight against those things.
So I'd recommend it to anyone with a strong stomach who enjoys comic-book movies and film noir and wants to see something totally unique.
And I'd recommend the movie's official website to geeks like me who are easily amused and would enjoy putting together their own Sin City ID, like the one below:

Even though I'd read the comics, and knew what was going to happen, it still blew me away. Literally they lifted the panels and brought them to life, and the cast was spot-on right down to the bit characters(LOVED Nicky Katt's moment--perfect role for him). More comic book movies should be this faithful...although one could argue Frank's stuff was so tight he had basically storyboarded a movie already when he first told these noir tales. Good stuff.
