A bit of a Sin City deja-vu, no? Even the logo...
The music made me want to watch "The Untouchables" again.

have they made any video games after an of Frank Millers work?

This Frank Miller renaissance is getting absurd...
This is actually a Will Eisner property that influenced Miller, and hes doing his own rendition of it.
More crime-noir stuff ala batman...darker, more realistic even.
I didnt like Sim City though..the pacing was too slow. Maybe Ill watch it again and give it another chance.
- loved sin city. especially when you look at the comics that it is based on and realize that its a near perfect match7point34
- visually, maybe. I grew up on those comics.WellI never really grew up, but youknow.********
- i just fell in love with the production on that one. maybe just me geeking out a bit... i dug what they did with it7point34
- and marv was the shit!7point34
- yeah production-wise it was very original. Just the pacing was dull, I read it differently I guess.********

I almost everything in Sin City except the yellow guy...creepy.
A sin city would be sick, although almost all movie games suck (except the first spiderman game)

I don't see why they can't make a game that has that 'dark, heavy shadow with bits of intense colour' style...
Sin City 2 is supposedly going to come out in 2010 so I guess they saw a nice little gap for The Spirit to slot into.

looks nice i suppose, but yeah it's impossible to not get a sin city reference from this... somewhat dissappointing considering the talent that miller is (though i guess it's too early to tell how creative he is behind the camera)
when i originally saw it i was concerned that it would just be a rip of sin city and wondered why they went this route. surely noir was around long long before greenscreen and cell shading. should done it differently in my opnion

Sin CIty sucked donkey balls. The whole thing creaked and groaned like everything was made of wood. Clive Owen just looked bored, Jessica Alba can't act and it was just really disappointing. What got me the most was how nearly every frame was taken from the comics, no interpretation or flash of genius to elevate it a little, just exactly the same. Reminded me of the Gus Van Sant frame for frame remake of Psycho, whats the point?
The comics were much better and felt more real and believeable (in the noir workd Miller built) than the film, so watching the film just made me want to re-read the comic to see if they were actually as good as I remembered.

I agree with ian. It was such a boring movie and you get used to the visuals pretty quickly so...yeah.
- Exactly, once the 'wow it look pretty' wears off its a film with nothing else, except for a gyrating Jessica Alba of courseian
- its like dating a hot dumb chick********
- without the sex********
- True, very true.ian
- hahaha well i think everyone can agree jessica alba sucks, but she's pretty to look at7point34
- True, very true!ian
