Sin City a "gimmick" movie?

[Nathan Petrelli]

I'm having an argument with someone who claims that Sin City is a gimmick movie due to the way it was filmed.

I'm trying to set the point across that it's not a "gimmick movie" due to the fact that the Graphic Novels look exactly like how it was filmed

Do you feel that Sin City is a "gimmick" movie?

Yeah, it's a gimmick movie in several ways. Go ahead and ask me why.

 

[Darth-IronMan]

All movies are gimmick movies.

Shouldn't the correct question be 'is the comic a gimmick?'

And yes I'd say the film is gimmicky.
