swag...
Out of interest have you read the sin city books/comics??
To me its one of the best comic adaptations ever... great film, briliantly produced and true to its source
As for the violence... what did you expect? Its exactly how it should have been.
Don,
Lack of Transition and cohesion... Give me a break... were your eyes closed... were you awake?

I must confess -- I am not a comic book guy. But I see no reason why movie interpretations have to stay true to the original material -- the medium is different, and why make a second-rate knock-off attempt at a comic book when you can have the real thing instead? (This was one of my criticisms of the Lord of the Rings trilogy -- the director allowed in plotline cruft for accuracy with the books that really should have been edited out to make a better, and not necessarily more book-like, movie.)
It's like when I hear a band playing a cover of another band. IMO, it works best when the covering band tries to do something with it -- e.g., take it in a slightly different direction, add their own touch to it, etc. It works worst when the band tries to make a duplicate copy... at best a second-rate copy of the original. Then it's like the neighborhood high school kids who play in a Nirvana tribute band.
(It's also the reason when I see a band play live, I rather they make it into something more than a lip-synching session over their recorded CDs.)
I thought The Don's graphic was particularly (and hilariously! :dielaugh: ) relevant, because without the violence the entire movie had no purpose nor direction.
If I wanted the comic book, I would have read the comic book.
