  Our ol' thread on it has expired! http://www.sgforums.com/?action=thread_display&thread_id=125646.
  
  This long-awaited Frank Miller movie is finally being screened here!
  
  
  
  Devon Aoki, the model-actress with the unconventional looks, has a part in this movie too.
  
  
  
  She had her first role in 2Fast2Furious, driving that pink sports car.
  
  And then, there's Jessica Alba...
  
  
  
  So, has anyone caught the movie yet? How was it?

  Awww... so busy at work? Or too obsessed playing MapleStory?
  
  I often watch movies alone cuz of my shift roster. I love to watch movies during off-peak periods.

  Hmm... sounds like it's a movie that isn't going to be easy to comprehend with quite a few people not appreciating it already. On the other hand, there are also those who loved the movie after watching it.
  
  Looking at the trailers and the shots so far, I appreciate the foreboding, dark, gloomy beauty of the movie. I got a feeling I'll take to it too!
  
  Watching it tomorrow!! WHEEEEEEE!!

  I really enjoyed this film.
  
  The film is in black and white, but at any time, there is usually a single item on screen that is in color. The first scene shows a couple on a rooftop. Black and white, but the lady wears a red dress. Very refreshing. (this style was also in Schindler's List. Remember the little girl wearing a red coat?)
  
  The setting is similar to Gotham City in Batman, or Hell's Kitchen in Daredevil. Very dark, unforgiving and morbidly fascinating.
  
  Fight scenes will remind you of Kill Bill. Blood, blood and i guess more blood. Did I mention blood?
  
  Best thing I like about the show is that it's a film noir. Can't really say more about that. You either think it's sexy or not.
  
  Basically think of it as:
  
  Batman Begins + Kill Bill + Max Payne = Sin City
