always been a fan of sin city....and the extended addition is great with an extra 30 mins than the theatrical release....I am also a huge fan of Frank Miller and graphic novel's in general....This DVD package comes with the first sin city graphic novel "The Hard Goodbye", which features Marv, Goldie, and Wendy as Marv avenges Goldies' death...Havn't read all of the Sin City novels, but as far as I can tell the movie is a compilation of three Sin City novels...The Hard Goodbye, The Big Fat Kill, and that Yellow Bastard....Do yourself a favor and get this movie and read the sin city novels...they are incrediby good quick reads....
One watches Sin City and it’s equally well done (perhaps better) sequel and wonders: “Who did Frank Miller have to tick off to get this to become so underrated?” For fans of true noir, this is a kairotic moment movie: setting what I think many could argue is THE true break between the black-and-white, grainy, overstated and undervalued crime noirs of the 1950-60’s to what I hope we see more of in the future. Each character was exceptionally well cast. Outstanding displays by Bruce Willis, Elijah Wood, Jessica Alba and Mickey Rourke. Awesome costume and special effects. Anything Rosario Dawson is in should have most noir fans clamoring, anyway. She plays perfectly to the film in both content and thematically. Enough skin and grit to make John Wayne blush and Marilyn Monroe fawn. Gotta love it. The movie plays in a several-overlapping-story-arc confluence that kept me anxious for the next visual treat - and there were many. Beautifully conceptualized cinematography (realize that 90 percent of the scenery was CG). This is the best comic-to-movie adaptation that is out there. Hands down. This is a film that gives a long overdue ode to the pencilers and colorists in trade paperback. God and Hollywood forbid a movie that won’t spoon-feed you the morals and constitutionality of the characters... which is why I think this is as underrated as previously stated. If you have read this far and I don’t think you can watch it and not feel that this was a hidden gem you overlooked for years. In addition to the movie, this comes with a wonderful complete graphic novel (that’s worth it, in and of itself) and a bonus disc with all that stuff that I love to collect but never usually watch anyway. The only way this could be better is if it were on Blu Ray, but that’s a small price to pay for such a great flick. Grab it.Read full review

This movie is great. The extended cut offers two things-awesome bonus features, most notably Robert Rodriguez's 10 min. cooking school, and the ability to watch all four segments seperately from start to finish. The extra footage not seen in the other release is nothing to write home about, seems to be all in the Bruce Willis segments. Do not buy because you might be missing out on some lost footage, but if you like the 10 min cooking school or the 10 min flick schools that Robert Rodriguez puts together than sell your copy of Sin City and buy the extended cut. It also has the original release on a seperate disc.
Sin City If you're reading this review trying to decide on buying Sin City all I can say is BUY IT. Buy it now. It's one of my all-time favorite movies. Sin City features one of the best casts ever assembled for an action/comic book movie. The story is superb and the action is second to none. Final Verdict: 5/5 Rent or Buy?: I'd marry Sin City if I could, it's that good. Trust me, buy it now and thank me later. IF YOU FIND THIS REVIEW HELPFUL PLEASE REMEMBER TO VOTE. Thank you.
This edition is truly the best one on the market! It comes with the graphic novel "The Hard Goodbye", and disk one has the theatrical version, while disk two has the extended versions of each story, split up into the actual books, as intended. There are also special features like a "green screen version" of the film where you can watch the entire thing without any special effects at all (however, why anyone would ever want to do that is beyond me).
