Come on now New Line,stop doing this to us,with blu ray you can put BOTH Theatrical and Extended Cuts on one Blu each with space to spare! and have a disc or two of suppilments as well,that's the way IT should be done! Give me a vote if you agree! I guess New Line knows that it's LOTR so it can release these multiple times on BLU and fans will buy! The 5 stars is for the films themselves,not what New Line is doing to the fans! GIVE US LOTR/BLU-RAY FANS WHAT WE DESERVE!!! TRUE FANS CHERISH BOTH VERSIONS!!! AFTER ALL PETER JACKSON'S KING KONG FROM 2005 HAD BOTH THEATICAL & EXTENDED VERSIONS ON IT'S BLU RAY FROM UNIVERSAL,THEY DID IT RIGHT,EVEN THOUGH THE EXTRAS COULD HAVE BEEN BETTER,I AS FAN WAS HAPPY!!! As we plainly see,this is New Line's biggest "Cash Cow"(MOOOOO!),and there gonna keep on "milking it"!!!

With any luck Frank Miller's "Sin City" will inspire a new genre of filmmaking - a literal union between filmmaking and the world of comic books/graphic novels. I know, I know, there have been countless films inspired by the world of comic books which have attempted to recreate the chills and thrills. Not one of them - even the best (e,g,, Spiderman series, Tales from the Crypt, etc.) has been remotely as successful as the creative team that gives us this brilliant, jarring, vision. Rodriguez, Miller and company obviously put themselves (and the cast) through painstaking paces to assure every frame, every emotion emoted by an astonishing array of live talent is instilled with the gritty, graphic hyperrealism of the world of Frank Miller. It is a breathtaking achievement which, alas, will go unnoticed and be underappreciated by many who don't "get" this world. The cast is nothing short of remarkable: Mickey Rourke gives his finest performance since Barfly - maybe ever. Bruce Willis has never given a better performance than the retiring cop, Hartigan. Everyone involved is obviously relishing having the time of their lives. Outside of Shakespeare I can't imagine anything currently more theatrically over-the-top and satisfying than being associated with Sin City. For many the violence will be of too gory and graphic in nature (gorygraphic?). Others will enjoy the rough ride but also be appreciative of the often stunning beauty of so many of this film's images. The final tale in the trilogy of stories that make up the movie is shot with the cool and chill of winter bathed in a snow storm of such exquisite beauty that I don't find it difficult to say it is among the most beautiful images I've seen in any film. Ever.
