Current Events > question about the sin city sequel (massive spoilers for first movie)

(+) Yeah! (+)

preface with I never read the comics but...

in the movie both Marv and Bruce willis' characters die--how are they still around in the sequel?

the events in the sequel aren't always chronologically ahead of the previous movie's

to add to this, the events in the first one aren't chronological either

That much is obvious, but now I feel like I have to watch both movies back to back as my memory of the first one is fuzzy at best and there is no way I'm going to be able to figure out how to piece together what arc goes where.

Doesn't the sequel have absolutely trash reviews?

It looks like more of the same shit so I doubt it can be much worse than the original.

I don't know anyone who likes them equally.

The first one was great. The second one was OK.

Firstly, I liked both the first and the original. People complained about the second because it wasn't as innovate as the first one visually. I'm not sure what they expected from a sequel, though. They are one of the most faithful comic adaptations I've ever seen, and if you have seen the movies, you won't really miss anything by not reading the books.

Anyway, they are out of chronological order and Bruce Willis' character only ever appears as a ghost/memory. Marv's appearance, however, is because all the stories take place before his execution.

Because it is a prequel as well. Josh Brolin has his surgery to look like Clive Owen at the end of his story, which puts it before Marv was executed.

I have to say that terrible sequel aside, Eva Green was fucking great in it, she was born to be that role she played. The movie would be worth the price admission for her alone. Unfortunately we're bogged down by a garbage jessica alba story, what was up with that I'll never know. But yeah Eva Green was perfect.

It's a shame that they waited 10 years though, that was utterly bizarre. I mean for god's sakes half the cast of the original were replaced and some actually died irl (in real life) . Brittany Murphy and Michael Clark Duncan in particular are deaths that are really sad (brittany murphy's death is outright bizarre)
