As most of you could have guessed, this film is incredible to look at. The visuals are simply outstanding.

I am a huge fan of Sin City.I consider it to be my second favorite comic book film behind Watchmen. I literally eat dark comic book movies for breakfast. I was always looking forward to this movie, but I was never over-excited for it. The fact it took 9 years to come out and the early mixed reviews (mostly negative), also put a little bit of a damper on my excitement. Nonetheless, I was still really looking forward to this.

I must say, I ate this film up. I certainly enjoyed the hell out of it. Between the hypnotic visuals, great…

Scandalous, over the top, and messy; Sin City: A Dame to Kill for is a worthy sequel to Sin City, bringing both the breathtaking visuals and brutal stories back in full force.

The cast is all fantastic, with Eva Green and Joesph Gordon-Levitt bringing their A-game to their respective roles. Eva Green in particular, is hypnotic and sensual; instantly earning her place in the best film-noir femme fatales. Many favorites, such as Mickey Rourke and Bruce Willis make appearances, with the latter playing a role that he's already played before. If you catch my drift. Powers Boothe is deliciously evil, overloaded with power and constantly conniving. Jessica Alba is terrible as always, playing a stripper that is always clothed, which…

Back in 2005 when Frank Miller & Robert Rodriguez teamed up to transition Miller's graphic novel Sin City into a live-action motion picture, it was hailed by critics & viewers alike as a groundbreaking cinematic feat that brought on screen something never done before, never seen before & never experienced before. Nine years later arrives its long-awaited sequel & it isn't as bad as its reception reflects.

Maybe it was my low expectations due to early disappointing reviews that did the trick but I had a wonderful time with this film as it has the style that made its predecessor an instant classic, the stories are fairly good & although it lacks the freshness of the original, it still makes up for one entertaining ride.…

Noir-November Challenge! Movie #43

The visuals were equally as impressive as its predecessor! The action, violence and kill ratio were increased! The film took on a much darker atmosphere!

For these reasons alone you got MORE than your moneys worth of movie entertainment!

What was absent from the sequel was the way too cool factor that was established in the original through the characters Hartigan (Bruce Willis), Marv (Mickey Rourke) and Dwight (Clive Owen). In the sequel these characters are less animated and more subdued!

Another thing absent was the comic book factor in the original where Marv for example was involved with several violent scenes that reminded me of Roadrunners Wile Coyote falling off a cliff and getting an…

This just so happens to be my 300th watched film this year...

I guess this couldn't have possibly lived up to the hype that brewed deep within my soul during the agonizing nine-year wait since the first Sin City film - although, not saying it still didn't satisfy to a decent extent.

Loved the entire cast, both new and old; the awesome over-the-top action; and, of course, the triumphant return of those astonishing visuals. My main problems were a couple seemingly missed opportunities here and there, interesting characters being unfortunately underused and there were a few times throughout the film that seemed a bit too disjointed -- but then Eva Green would show up onscreen naked for the sixth time…

Visuals are still stunning but inconsistent! Mickey Rourke is still great but Jessica Alba still can't act! A Dame To Kill For could have been one amazing film that can actually rival its predecessor, but unfortunately it failed. Sin City has lost its magic. All those machete films have destroyed Rodriguez. You get to see Rourke crush a skull with his bare hands though so I guess this film is, in a way, still cool.

Just in case you missed that:

Mickey Rourke crushed a human head with his bare hands. Mickey Rourke. Bare fucking hands.

Damn, still can't get enough of that opening credits. So majestic I peed a little. One minute I say it's bad the next I'm…

The residents of Sin City are back for their encore, this time in a prequel/sequel that fills in a lot of the backstory for the neo-noir original. The time frame stretches from after police detective John Hartigan's suicide to a couple of years prior to murderer Dwight McCarthy's return to Old Town.

Since Hartigan is already dead by this time, Bruce Willis has to reprise his character as a ghost that watches over stripper Nancy Callahan, again played by Jessica Alba. However, because all the events in this film predate the electrocution of the story's #1 hell-raiser Marv, Mickey Rourke is back and badass as ever, if looking a bit older even in full make-up. And Josh Brolin was able…

Directed by Frank Miller and Robert Rodriguez, “Sin City: A Dame to Kill For” is a disappointing sequel to a visually stunning, funny, thrilling, and engaging picture that is still unique to this day. While it does offer two opposite but interesting performances, the screenplay by Miller fails to offer anything fresh or exciting. He forgot to ask and answer a most basic question: What makes the sequel worth visiting?

Perhaps Miller thought that the visual acrobatics and trickeries would be enough to sustain our attention. While I still enjoyed that the film is presented in beautiful black-and-white, painted with bright primary colors once in a while, there is barely any dimension to any of the characters. And although most…
