Sin City (2005) | Canadians First Time Watching | Movie Reaction | Movie Review | Commentary

[@ImLewisPatrick]

Just to clarify.. I believe in the beginning when you said Frank Miller is infamous for disliking adaptations of his work, that you're confusing him with Alan Moore. Alan (creator of V for Vendetta, Watchman, League of Extraordinary Gentlemen etc) hated the adaptations of his comics, and makes sure he no longer has creator credits on those movies. Frank on the other hand, seems fairly pleased with his influence.. infact, he even co-directed this with Rodriguez :)

[@kaybaumann4989]

He wasn’t big on the Robocop sequels which where base on his comic… but his comic is even worse somehow.

[@ColombianThunder]

I might be wrong here but i believe Rodriguez actually gave him a directing credit because nearly all of the shots in the film are taken directly from the comic. Of course Miller went on to direct the sequel! :)

[@overload81]

@@kaybaumann4989 but that would be one, 300 and sin city where very true to his work and he even stared in this one (the priest in the cabinet who got shot by marv). I'm with lewis on this one, i guess he mixed up him and moore.

[@jbacunn]

I think Moore's bigger problem is that he had no ownership of the properties he created for DC comics. His contract stated that he would get the rights back after the series went out of print and DC simply never let them go out of print and never will. He hates DC and will never work with them again.

[@STOCKHOLM07]

Miller also plays the priest who gets shot in the confessional

[@devinmorse3607]

Personally I prefer the theatrical cut. It has an interesting way of connecting everything as the movie goes along.

[@confucius12012]

Yeah, I thought this was the theatrical cut in the beginning. I thought the Hartnett scene right away meant they were watching the theatrical. I was wrong.

[@doughbones]

Besides Terminator 2 and Bvs: Dawn of Justice i'd have to agree (I know there's more but those are the ones that come to mind where the theatrical cut is inferior to the director's/special edition cut)

[@jbacunn]

@@doughbones A lot of people like the director's cut of Aliens is better than the theatrical cut mainly because of the scene where they show Newt and her family finding the alien ship. While this is a good scene, I think it gives away too much. I think it's better not knowing what had happened on the planet prior to Ripley and the marines getting there. It's pretty obvious anyway and the introduction of Newt is better.

[@Devire666]

@@doughbones Terminator 2 is questionable. Many people prefer the original ending. In fact, I believe the only addition most people consider really good was the chip removal scene. And still, even it is not strictly necessary for the movie.

[@Devire666]

​@@jbacunn I'm pretty certain that people prefer the director's version due to the scene when Ripley learns about the fate of her daughter, not due to the Hadley's Hope part.

[@Codemaster1138]

I'm honestly really split, this cut makes the story more cohesive, but I feel the theatrical cut reveals the world in a more natural manner, makes it feel more like that's just how life is in the city.

[@EDTGO1]

This cut is horrendous! I’m angry just looking at it. Original is better because Bruce Willis story line is split. You get to be in the world is sin city before you realize who Jessica Alba is, you understand how Elijah Wood and the farm is connected and how powerful the Senator is. Making the storylines linear is like making Pulp Fiction or Deadpool movies linear, just an incredibly dumb idea.

[@WheresWaldo05]

Cuts not in theatre were not in theatre for a reason. And they dont exist to me. Nor will i watch them.

[@Everan614]

Is there a cut with all the additional scenes of this cut, like Marv's mum, but with the theatrical pacing?

[@zakfrisch2997]

I was wondering what the hell was up with this.

[@drew.168]

I can appreciate both versions, but I agree the theatrical version is just a little better.

[@benjamindorough6129]

Was so confused. Didn't realize this cut even existed. Just makes the movie feel like a collection of short stories instead of a movie imo. Also as others have said, the theatrical cut really makes it feel more organic. Just life in the city.

[@DerekHartley]

It IS a collection of short stories. They're not even in the same order as the comics.

[@simianinc]

The scene where Clive Owen is driving Benicio Del Toro was directed by Quentin Tarantino

[@lanemyer774]

Mickey Rourke should have been nominated to an oscar for his role; not only he gave an amazing performance but it was also a hell of a comeback into doing movies from the greatest actor of his generation.

[@richieclean]

Frank Miller took a Co-Director credit for this film, so it's fair to say that he approves of it... Alan Moore (Watchmen, V for Vendetta) is notoriously critical of cinematic adaptations of his work, to the point where he refuses to have his name used in the credits, but I haven't heard similar things about Frank Miller, so I'd be interested where you got that info.

[@Dularr]

That depend on who get final edit.

[@richieclean]

@@Dularr what does?

[@andarted]

Alan Moore even claims, he doesn't watches his movies. I believe him, his problems with watchmen for example didn't started with the movie. His contract with DC says, he gets the rights of his book one year after the print. But the book was so successful that DC did something they never did before, they start to reprint it over and over. It's crazy. A lot of people say Watchmen is the best superhero comic series ever made, and like everyone agree, that it changed "the superhero comic" in general.

[@stevelettieri]

Yeah was going to say what Mr Clean did. Believe George was thinking of Alan Moore. Love Sin City!

[@chrisleebowers]

"Frank Miller took a Co-Director credit for this film" He's also in it. He's the priest Marv shoots in the confession booth

[@dudermcdudeface3674]

Mickey Rourke's character is some all-time badass. I remember it with a smirk after all these years.

[@BJBee]

Rourke's smirk in the movie? Cuz that would be cool

[@omegapsi847]

Very weird to see this first time in chronological order, but I definately prefer the theatrical cut, especially for first time watcher because the "Oh!..." Factor is much higher when you see that Hartigan actually survived the initial shots or you watch Marv drinking some shots at the bar after his story ended compared to the "who is this guy?..." if you see the character before their actually story. it is kinda the same with Pulp Fiction: if you watch it in chronological order, it takes a way a lot of charme.

[@lindanicholson950]

Yes. I just watched this ten minutes ago and the way this was presented confused the hell out of me.

[@Dinkdownn]

I’ve watched Gilmore Girls several times all the way through, and it didn’t have an affect on me regarding Alexis’s character in this movie. For me, her words and delivery match perfectly with her actions in Old Town. She was a rat, an imposter. And her vibe gave off that energy.

[@docdamnij]

I agree. She was working in Old Town, but she was not living it and also not speaking it.

[@SpottedBullet]

I was wondering what was going on...this isn't the theatrical cut. The theatrical cut is much more interesting, you have to wait for the rest of the first story until the end. Among other things.

[@TwoNinePrime]

I didn't even know this version existed. It's definitely very different than the cinematic release.

[@15blackshirt]

As I had previously stated, the theatrical cut is more cohesive and faithful to the source material

[@JonPaulMaki]

As others have noted, you seemed to be confusing Frank Miller with Alan Moore. Miller had never been quite so vehemently opposed to Hollywood adaptations as Moore, but he wasn't that keen on them, either, as he had been burned by Hollywood in the past. When Rodriguez set out to make this movie, he basically courted Frank Miller, and he invited him out to watch him shoot a test scene (that ended up being the opening sequence with Josh Hartnett), and that won Miller over. Rodriguez gave Miller co-director credit for the movie.

[@roonilwazlib9877]

The city is called "Basin City." It's mentioned in the comics this is adapted from, but here you can see it on the close ups of the police badges. It's just that the place is so corrupt the name is shortened to "Sin City."

[@jasonpalacio2115]

Every reaction I've seen to this movie always uses the unrated version. I wish they'd use the original. The way the original theatrical version is cut is much better, also the original is almost completely black and white, which was much more effective.

[@iamworthy1302]

Yah I was gonna say I don't remember this much color lol

[@phantomzone2725]

This was all filmed in Austin, most of it on a soundstage. Robert Rodriguez, the director, lives in Austin. Use to see the actors around town during filming.

[@jcastromex]

This film and "300" are so awesome! I wish more of Frank Miller's "Sin City" graphic novels be adapted into movies.

[@garricksmalley1733]

I concur

[@Harkness78]

Eh, these 3 stories are the best Sin City Comics. Dame to Kill for is also a good graphic novel but the movie was a tad disappointing, and the rest aren't worth adapting.

[@dancolon47]

Sin City is probably the most faithful film adaptation EVER! Read the source graphic novels, the imagery style is very close to the comics ... and close to 100% of the dialogue is unchanged.

[@darielwoods7859]

Man I love this movie. I think I remember Frank Miller saying that the character of Marv came from trying to reimagine Conan the Barbarian living in modern times.

[@my_randomology]

That scene in the car between Dwight and Jackie Boy is a goddam gem. The directing, the acting... every part of it is a perfect reflection of the comic.

[@jksgameshelf3378]

It's amazing how this film was shot so much on green screen in basically full lighting, and all the shadows, backgrounds, etc., were added in post. I was at a party in LA years ago and a guy had some footage that had been basically stolen from the post house that showed the before images and I was amazed, having seen the film already. Rodriguez is just so good with that, a la 'Spy Kids" etc. Also, RIP Brittany Murphy. She was so good in everything.

[@jonforster656]

The short at the beginning with Josh Hartnett is exactly that, a short. The Sin City comics were a collection of stories, some with repeating characters, of varying lengths. Also the use of limited colours other than the black and white is exactly as it is in the comics, Goldie's hair, Dwight's Converse etc..

[@lethaldose2000]

Fun Fact: Tarantino directed the scene between Dwight and Benicio del Toro in the car (aka gun barrel in his forehead and still talking Del Toro). Tarantino just happened to be visiting set that day and Rodriguez wanted to convince him that filming digitally wasn’t so bad. As we have seen, Tarantino continued to shoot on film.

[@ZannNewman]

it's the grimmest of the grim and noir and so much fun for it. it's called 'Sin city' as its set in Basin City and its full of Sinners . The Yellow Bastard is yellow as he's got Jaundice from liver /organ failure of some sort but his daddy's surgery kept him alive. Marv spent ALL his points on the Tough advantage.

[@johnmiller7682]

I think it was perfect to see Alexis Bledel in that role, specifically because of her character in Gilmore Girls.

[@skylinerunner1695]

The cannibal storyline was inspired by a real life case of a Japanese man who claimed that eating his victim 'filled him with white light', a line given to the Cardinal in this film. It also serves as a metaphor of the rich and powerful 'devouring' the poor and vulnerable of this world. The film is uncompromising in depicting the links of corruption and depravity between church and government, two machines that exploit the populace for their own gain.

[@jamesoblivion]

In the opening, the woman paid the hitman to kill her. Whatever she was running from, she knew she was going to die. She wanted to die painlessly, and not to die alone. It's a very short Sin City story in the comics. The movie captures it well. You can see how everyone got on board when Rodriguez showed them that. But a lot of viewers seem to miss that it was a suicide hit.

[@eZTarg8mk2]

Frank MIller hasn't complained about his film adaptations, as far as i recall. I think you're thinking of Alan Moore, who wrote V for vendetta, Watchmen, League of extraordinary gentlemen. He's hated the films of his graphic novels, been very vocal about it XD

[@HobGungan]

So you guys seem to be watching the special DVD version that splits the three stories up individually rather than the theatrical version that uses That Yellow Bastard and Customer is Always Right as bokends. Also, it's Alan Moore who has the huge issue with Hollywood adaptations. Miller hasn't had the best experiences either but he's more amenable. Miller plays one of the priests in The Hard Goodbye. Finally, it is worth noting that while Miller is very talented and created some great works, the last few decades has shown him devolve into some pretty reprehensible politics.

[@maybeitsyou1317]

Yeah guy calls himself a Libertarian and then votes for Hillary. What a piece of trash.

I think (I'm not sure, I've seen this masterpiece too long ago) that Clive Owen's character is Josh Harnet's character. That is why the "an assassin with new face" line.

[@shainewhite2781]

This is one hell of an epic comic book adaptation! Everything is shot against blue screen which is impressive. Film critic Roger Ebert gave the film a positive review, saying its the best noir film he has seen in years.

[@jculver1674]

I believe he described it as "film noir pumped with steroids", which is the perfect way to describe it.

[@BattyNos1922]

I apologize if someone has already posted this. The priest that Marv kills is Frank Miller.

[@JnEricsonx]

He gets killed in Daredevil too.

[@FollowingGhost]

Love the theatrical cut of this movie. Getting and then staying with the original material made this for me.

[@o0pinkdino0o]

So Robert Rodriguez spent years courting Frank Miller to make this film. He finally got Frank into the studio to watch him make the opening scene with Josh Hartnett. Frank said, "this isn't right. You need (such and such)..." Rodriguez said "don't tell me, tell them !" And that was how their partnership was born. Tarantino paid Rodriguez back for an earlier favour by shooting the scene with dead Jackie in the car for the price of $1. Whilst on set he noticed the scene with Devon Aoki slicing up people with samurai swords. "Are those my Hanzo swords ?" Tarantino asked. "Yeah. Sorry. I borrowed them from your garage when you were not looking", said Rodriguez. LOVE their relationship !

[@chrisleebowers]

What else is Frank Miller? A number of good and not-as-good-but-still-cool things... First of all "A Dame to Kill For" is worth seeing - you get the backstory for Clive Owen's changed face "300" and the sequel "300: Rise of an Empire" are both adapted from Frank Miller graphic novels. The sequel's not great but Eva Green alone makes it worthwhile. He's executive producer on the Netflix series "Cursed" He wrote the scripts to Robocop 2 and 3 however, both scripts were heavily re-written and he has low-key disowned those. He directed "The Spirit" which is... strange. I can't call it good, but it's worth seeing just because of how weird it is. Frank Miller first made a name for himself as the artist and writer of Daredevil comics in the 80's. So a lot of Netflix Daredevil, as well as the 2003 movie are inspired by much of his early work. His most iconic work was the Batman graphic novel "The Dark Knight Returns" which eventually did get a faithful animated adaptation, but in the years prior, it was plundered for ideas and imagery by Tim Burton for Batman '89, Chris Nolan for Dark Knight and Dark Knight Rises, and by Zack Snyder for Batman Vs Superman.

[@lenajohnson6179]

Frank Miller helped MAKE this. He didn't like his films BEFORE this. This film getting made is thanks to Rovert Rodriguez shooting the scene with Josh Heartnet and bringing it to show Frank Millar, who then agreed 'yeah okay maybe we can actually do this?'

[@stathissdz2125]

Technically, one of the best comic book adaptations I've ever seen. As for the cast, Elijah Wood kicks ass!

[@phantomzone2725]

We get some stories that never made it to a graphic novel that give more development to Nancy (after Hartigan) and Senator Rourke. Plus there's some awesome performances throughout. It doesn't deserve all the hell it catches.

Pretty sure Miller approved on this adaptation. I mean, I wouldn't be able to see why he wouldn't be. Most of the scenes and hero shots were pretty much straight out of the comics shot for shot.

[@MetalHeadReacts]

This is one of my all-time favourite films, I've watched this so many times, I can't even begin to count. The comparison from page to screen is so perfect as was the casting. This is, of course, the extended and recut version, the theatrical version is more in-line chronologically, but this cut is more like the graphic novels. Frank Miller loved this too, it took Robert Rodriguez a very long time to convince him to let him make it, the opening scene with Josh Hartnett was what he used to convince him. Frank Miller was also a director in the film AND makes an appearance as the priest that Marv shoots in the head in confessional. Quentin Tarantino also did some directing on the film too.

[@0okamino]

Very fitting that Rodriguez used that story as a preview for Miller since Miller had created it as a short preview for Dark Horse.

[@claytonbishop4021]

The swords used by Miho (Devon Aoki) in this movie are the same ones used by some of the Crazy 88 in Kill Bill: Vol. 1 (2003). That movie's director, Quentin Tarantino, had been keeping them in the back of his garage.

[@meadmaker4525]

Personally, I didn't dislike the second Sin City movie. I thought it was pretty good, though it was somewhat different than this one. Don't always trust ratings. If you haven't seen it, Robert Rodriguez also did - Alita: Battle Angel. I think you'd enjoy it.

[@unnamedofficial5796]

A note about Frank Miller's directing credit on this film: Robert Rodriguez did the "real" director work on Sin City, but wanted to credit Frank Miller as a director as well. Miller pioneered the heavy use of cinematic technique in comics -- in some ways, his "innovative" style was simply to copy the filmmaking techniques of Akira Kurosawa on the printed page. (Just to be clear: that *was* a genuine and major innovation; Miller is a huge influence on the modern look of comics and graphic novels.) Consequently, the Sin City graphic novels were usable almost untouched as shot-by-shot storyboards. Rodriguez followed the "storyboard" very, very faithfully -- to the extent that he felt that Miller had done a large share of the work that a director would normally undertake. He felt this so strongly that he quit the Directors' Guild of America when the guild refused to authorize the joint directing credit.

[@maximillianosaben]

Aw, you should have watched the Theatrical version. That one is designed to be more like a proper structural film instead of an anthology of sorts.

[@benjaminrupe5930]

Frank Miller is a comic book artist and writer who came to prominence with The Dark Knight Returns and pretty much saved Daredevil from cancellation with the Born Again story. Sin City is a book he did for Dark Horse. To my knowledge, his only other film was the adaptation of Will Eisner's The Spirit.

[@tylerfoster6267]

The scene that Quentin Tarantino directed is the one in the car when the body first starts talking to Clive Owen's character. His references to "a new face" are about how his character had plastic surgery to disguise his identity. In addition to co-directing the movie, Frank Miller also appears as the priest that Marv kills in the confession booth. Another movie that was done in this filming style -- not film noir but "digital backlot" where the entire movie was shot on a greenscreen with very few props and no sets, and then the entire look was finished in the computer -- is Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow.

[@tylerfoster6267]

The complaints about this cut are overstated, IMO. Doesn't seem like Simone and George had any issue following the stories or the ways they connected to one another watching it, so even if I was expecting the theatrical version, I don't see a problem with watching it this way.

[@glenmcdonald375]

I'll admit that i enjoyed watching the Gilmore Girls in the early 2000's even tho I was an adult. At least the first couple seasons. It was my break from reality... But, I didnt find anything wrong with Bledel's portrayal in this movie. I didnt find her character to b any more out of place than any other character. She has the sweet and innocent look. Those are often the more dangerous girls in real life, anyway... lol (Not to mention, I always found her to b gorgeous on the Gilmore Girls as well)... Perhaps u find her character difference in this movie so 'disturbing' because u were proby still a young teenager in 2000 and related to her as such... BUT, even tho she played a teenager, she was 18 years old when Gilmore Girls started, and 25-years old when it ended...

[@santiagorodriguez9849]

Frank Miller had a bad relationship with Hollywood for the adaptation of his script in Robocop 3, as they changed a lot of what he originally wrote. In the second part even comes out in a cameo for a couple of minutes. After Robocop 3 he commented that he would never work in and for Hollywood again. Robert Rodriguez convinced him with the little clip that comes out at the beginning of the movie. Which RR filmed in his own studios and with his own money. Frank Miller agreed to let him do the adaptation, took a co-directing credit, and even had a cameo. He is the father who is in the confessional with Marv. He did like and approve this adaptation.

[@chardhrosreaper2307]

Was the entire movie in this release? Originally there was a second vignette with Josh Hartnett at the end of the movie that wasn't included in the edited reaction. As an aside, Frank Miller wasn't interested in making a movie of Sin City, but the director wore him down to see a test scene. The scene was the intro piece with Josh Hartnett at the beginning of the movie. Frank Miller was blown away & gave permission. He was given credit, since it was a shot-for-shot following of Sin City as a storyboard. I seem to remember there being issues about that and lasting tensions with the Screen Actors Guild. Apologies for any imperfect recall of details: it was years ago.

Can't go wrong with Frank Miller's "300" directed by Zack Snyder for sheer style making the source material gleam. Also "A Dame to Kill For" is just as good as the first "Sin City."

I highly recommend for you to get your hands on the Frank Miller's Sin City comic books. They are masterpieces, and defined classics when it comes to comic books. When talking about the artwork in the comics, the biggest element is the negative space, and this movie brings that element very nicely on the screen.

I love this movie, and your reactions to the over-the-top violence and gore was perfect. The story was so perfect at taking "Bad guys" doing terrible things and making you root for them because their "victims" were truly monstrous and deserved everything they got - plus the comic book style it was shot in made everything so surreal that it was like one long fever dream that you'll never forget.

Fun fact: Despite the Marv/Kevin fight, Mickey Rourke and Elijah Wood didn't actually meet each other until the film's premiere.

Frank Miller (FM) wrote The Dark Knight Returns, which, I believe the Christopher Nolan Dark Knight series borrowed some of the story lines (and the batmobile "tumbler") from his 4-book graphic novel series. This included the death of Rachel Dawes (Dark Knight) and his being out of action for 8 years or so and coming back (Dark Knight Rises). So, in a way, you already have seen some of his work... FM also did the graphic novel 300 and was a producer on the movie, to which I would thoroughly enjoy seeing you two react!! I think he did The Spirit, which was in the same vein as Sin City. It was thanks to the success of Sin City that FM decided to work with Robert Rodriguez again.

The obvious choice for more Frank Miller is "300" which is based off his graphic novel. The novel is "based loosely" on a real historical event with Frank's added on story bits. The movie then adds even more story parts because the graphic novel is actually pretty short.

You guys royally messed up not getting the Theater cut. The theatre version Bruce Willis story splice in the beginning and end of the film, which makes it more impactful as you see the other story lines. Sorta like pulp fiction or Deadpool. I don’t know who are the idiots who requested this version with the story lines separated. Absolutely inferior to the original cut. Actually makes me angry to think people are seeing this Version of this great film.

so true

The film _300_ is probably the most mainstream popular of Miller's other movies. Frank Miller is one of the biggest names in comic history. For his writing and his art. His creative influence reaches far and wide across countless mediums: Burton and Nolan's Batman, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, 300, etc. He's one of my four favorite comic writers of all time: Frank Miller (The Dark Knight Returns), Neil Gaiman (Sandman), Alan Moore (Watchmen, Miracleman), Dave Sims (Cerebus).
