If you're even remotely considering seeing it, please save yourself the anguish. Or at the very least, wait until it's 2 for 1 night at the local video store or something.

Yes, it's really that bad.

Hadnt heard of Sin City, but it seems to suffer from having too many big names in it

My biggest problem with Sin City (but by no means my only problem with it) actually has to do witih the way it was marketed. If you watched the trailers on TV, you wouldn't have gotten anything close to a sense for how violent and graphic (pardon the pun) the movie is. Consequently, you might end up bringing kids to see it ("hey, let's go see that cartoon action movie!"). There were a -lot- of children in the audience when I saw this movie, and I'm really sickened by that. I blame the parents of those kids first and foremost, since they should have known better, and/or should have taken the time to read a review or something. But after that, I blame the studio and then the filmmakers.

Separately, the acting mostly sucks, and the dialog is mostly incipid. I'll say this for Sin City - it looks really neat. So, if you're into graphic novels or art direction, it's worth seeing parts of it on that basis. But overall, in my view, it's a steaming heap of crap.

just about the most confusing zombie movie ever made, well mabey not so much confusing as pointless, and what the fuck was the nurse thinking ?

I agree though, it's far too violent for children but their parent's should be slapped for taking them to a rated R movie anyway.

I remember my dad took me to see Aliens when it came out and I was scarred for quite some time after that.

The worst movie ever made (or quite possibly the best) is Manos the Hands of Fate.

I mean, because, after all, that's OUR LORD up there, suffering for our sins, and all. That movie was all about his love for us, and stuff.

My girlfriend and I both like horror films.

We're both in our 30's and reasonably well adjusted, and I don't normally walk around seeking faults in others.

That being said, I found it shocking that people had brought their
four year old to see 28 Days Later (The zombie flick).

On another occasion we saw the Texas Chainsaw Massacre, where a couple seven year old twins were sitting by their Mom.

I get that rated R requires parental permission, but maybe a healthy dose of cluebat is what's needed with some people.

Poor kids must have soiled themselves.
