Just watched that (see Subject). Never heard of it before until someone was looking for the actual comic book that it was based on and mentioned it was also a couple of films.

I was hoping to see both films, but fawesome.tv seemed to only list the 2nd one.

Anyway.. I loved the style, visual treatments, etc. as a film-noir. Some might say it's campy with clich‚ one-liners. But I think it works for that comicbook-to-film project. The film reminded me of the same style and wild ride of a Tarantino film.

It has a star-studded cast, and it works well.

I just bought the comic at a library benefit sale this weekend. Yes,
campy as all hell, as a neo-comic should be.

Do try to catch the film(s). Artistically, it's quite stylish and true to the comic-book experience.. visual entertainment - what a film should be.

Started to watch the 1st film from 2005. Wow.. dark and gritty as hell.

I didn't realize that the first film is actually 3 films/segments with their own set of credits. The first segment w/Bruce Willis' character was only 45 min. The 2nd segment was even shorter. By the time the 3rd segment started it was about halfway through the whole +2hr "film". It was getting quite late for me by then, so had to quit it. Will revisit Sin City (2005) at a later time.

I loved the first film, didn't see the second one - will definitely
seek it out.

Strange movie, but I liked it. My favorite segment was the B/W one that used bits of color on things, like the lenses on a pair of glassed this guy wore were solid...yellow...I think. I'd never seen a film look like that brfore.

They used to do that with some older films. In 1933's The Vampire Bat, which is entirely in black and white, the scenes where the townspeople have torches have the torches colored in, IIRC, red and yellow. First time I saw that I figured it was added in later but learned that it apparently was not.

also a couple of films.

Like the other replies, I liked the first one. Saw it when it came out. I don't think I'd heard of the second one yet! Gonna check it out today.
