Gorgeous women, irresistible hero... what more could you want?

Looking forward to this...

A lot.

Yeah, great disguise dude. Also not a huge fan of Eva Mendez..

Otherwise it does look pretty impressive. It seems quite the parallel to the vision of Sin City, not that it should be expected just because it was made by the same people. Again, I like the black and white with the only colour in the frame as the red of his tie.

Yay! Loved Sin City! I shall look forward to this one with gusto.

Yeah, looks a lot like Sin City which isn't a bad thing but it seems to me that a lot of movies are going to this very stylized cinematography to make it seem "unique."

Although, I'm not as excited about this flick as I was about Sin City or 300 I'll definitely check it out... Seems to me whatever Frank Miller comes out with lately turns to gold.

I really like the look of this film, of course, as Sin City was a very visually stunning piece. But I'm a little concerned with the chicks they picked like Scarlet and Eva. They're not horrible actresses, but they're just not...I don't know, they just don't have that oomph you need to make a good performance. Sure, they're pretty, except that's about as much as they've got going for them.

I'll probably see it anyway, though. :3 I like these kinds of films.
