But downloading Episode III would be illegal so I wouldn't be doing that nor discussing it in any real way. So say I, the Mod.

As to 'Sin City', it's not released yet so I don't know how valid this poll is for most of us. I am looking forward to seeing it though.

I saw this on a download and it made me want to see it in the cinema even more. It's gonna look great on a big screen!

Some of its very funny, in a Itchy & Scratchy sort of way

User3231231231 you’re quite nauseating to read, please do us all an immense favour and download a spell checker.

Also it seems you post erroneous dribble just for the sake of posting, stop and think. I’d say a good majority of your 2000 posts are quite utter ****e, with a lot of random meaningless threads thrown in to boot.

Ease up there, none of us are flawless. This isn't the place to attack another poster. Stick to the thread topic thanks.

Bought it on dodgy dvd on sunday and watched it mouth agape, awesome, can't wait to see it on the big screen, makes one hopeful that the like of Watchmen won't be a total washout when it comes to a cinema near you, perhaps Dark Knight Returns will be a possible future development, an 18s Batman flick, we can only dream.

I know that piracy is wrong, please don't let this thread become a spelling/anti piracy forum, make a new thread for that, no?

Lads start another thread if you want to correct each others english all day.

Sin City.....Wow.
Very stylised and self-conciously and thats a good thing. Beautifull presented scenes and great acting abound. Throw in some of the most violent scenes imaginable and your left with a very satisfying new angle on the film noir.

I picked up a perfect copy of this on dvd on holidays but
I wasnt sure what to make of it.
I liked the style of the film though,it was like watching a comic book.
I especially like the way it seemed to freeze frame the action just like a comic would.The black and white landscape,white blood etc but after a while it became a bit repetitive and tiresome.
I can see how the cartoon violence would appeal to a lot of blokes but I wouldn't recommend taking your girlfriend to see it.I don't think women would
appreciate the torture, cannibalism, castration etc etc.
Even the women in the film are either hookers or crazy killers.
It had some cast, Bruce Willis,Mickey Rourke,Clive Owen,Michael
Madsen,Elijah Wood,Rutger Haurer.Some great performance's especially
Mickey Rourke but best of all was Benicio Del Toro as Jackie Boy,
It was worth watching just to see Del Toro's performance alone,he was superb.

Absolutely great. Highly recommend it. Ultraviolent, but there's nothing wrong with that. Everyone was great in it aswell, great performances all round.
Loved Elijah Wood in it, great change from his usual characters, Mickey Rourke and Benicio Del Toro were just plain great.

2 thumbs up!

Absolutely brillant THE BEST film mad from a comic ever, best film i have seen this year.

I loved it and so did the two other persons of the female gender I watched it with.

Yes there may be some hope for Watchmen after all.

Dn't say anything about Watchmen, and to a muh greater extent, V for Vendetta. These are sacred parchments. They will be judged when seen.
