Smart, haunting, emotional, beautiful.... the list goes on and on. And my god, Weaving gives one hell of a performance.

One of my favorite films.

What do you personally like about it? Go in depth, I love reading detailed responses :]

The main character was what made the film for me. Portman was great as well but V had an amazing presence every time he was on screen. I love how much emotion Weaving could show just from his own voice alone. The idea of futuristic totalitarian governments in film, video games, and books has always interested me and I think that made me appreciate the movie more. The last scene of the movie was my favorite due to how v isn't just a man but an idea and this idea could inspire and has inspired ordinary people to stand up against a higher and unfair rule.

I totally agree. For me, what makes the movie is...

Evey's time during V's prison. I was literally tearing up during Valerie's flashback sequences. And then the discovery that it was all V's quest to help Evey discover who she really is and to live without fear... just so powerful, and done in such an intelligent way. Alan Moore really is a phenomenal writer.

I wouldn't give the credit to Alan Moore.

Well I give credit to the Wachowski's as well, but the main source material is Alan Moore.

Sin City: A Dame To Kill For

Sorry to report, but this film just didn't perform like I was hoping it would. The magic of the first film is absent. The new stories are quite poor, among the least interesting is the the main story "A Dame to Kill For", which is strange considering I heard that's the one story adapted for the screen that wasn't newly written by Miller. This is very much what Quantum of Solace was to Casino Royale, or what Before Watchmen was to Watchmen (Granted Sin City never carried as much depth as Watchmen)

I can't figure out why it doesn't work it just doesn't. It's not a bad movie. It's just not a terribly good one either. And it's ending felt so anti-climatic I just wanted to scream "That's it!?" It just fucking ends without any emotional resonance or well earned conclusion.

And then there's Eva Green... And she's not shy. haha. Her performance isn't anything to write home about, but she probably is the best part of the movie. It's a shame that the movie around her is only so good. Rodriguez makes her look beautiful in this movie. It's not just throwaway nudity. Mickey Rourke/Marv is in it a good deal, but his prosthetics looked terrible compared to the first film and he seemed to have gained 20 pounds in the face. It just felt like a hollow caricature of the real Marv.

I still say it's worth seeing if you like Sin City (2005), but maybe not until home video. I also think fans who are a bit more forgiving will enjoy it more then I did. There's nothing about it that screams "This isn't Sin City!" It's just an uninspired return that lacks the compelling charm of the original.

Thoughts of JGL?
