ha! dietzer123 is quite right. But, like for sin city, don't forget that the lines are taken from the graphic novel, most of them with no changes/adjustments at all. The best lines are the ones written on purpose for the movie.
But, seriously, it's mostly a pure visual "exercise" (and the battles scenes are really amazing, and not just because "yeeeeeeeeeeeah blood!", but because of the way those are concieved and shot). I'm not sure about "it was trying to cash in on Sin City by imitating a lot of it's style" (richard pryor on fire). Imo it's actually quite different from sin city, starting from the simple fact that, as you probably noticed, here there are COLOURS!!! YAAAAYYYyyyy! colours! Sin City "graphic" appeal (both for comic/movie) was the great use of BW, here the director (and Miller himself in his graphic novel) used a really different style, you can obviously recognize similarities, but the overall appearance is not that similar. All in all, don't expect a "life changing" experience it's just entertainment beautifully visualized.
