they would not have seen #2, which made more than did #1.

I can't get my head around what happened with #3, before you attack me. people were like "well, the first one sucked so I'll give the franchise exactly one more chance"? or was #2 that much worse than #1 (I don't know because the first one almost made me throw up so I haven't watched #2). is it the R rating vs PG13 rating thing? has the audience died off? I really don't think the torrent thing mattered *that* much.

in any case, I agree that sin city 1 was a "good" movie, but i didn't really enjoy it and don't really see how a sequel is like... necessary? maybe? maybe it makes $20 mill.

The first one had novelty. "Finally, all these action stars in one movie". That's not true of #3. -- nm - Roger More Aug 20, 07:34 2
- this is a great point. I think that's why we watched it. "it can't possibly be bad with all those action stars." -- nm - peggy ann m Aug 20, 07:52
- yeah, by #3, it pretty much turned into a joke IMO. nm -- nm - groiny Aug 20, 07:35
2 earned $18 million less than the original. The bottom has fallen out for 3. - David Aug 20, 07:25
3 added a ton of new blood though. I was really surprised it did so poorly -- nm - Beaker Aug 20, 07:22
