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…

"Looks like Christmas."

To say Robert Rodriguez has fallen off a bit recently would be an understatement. In my opinion his last good film was the original Sin City back in '05 (which was a damn good film). But, since then, Rodriguez just hasn't been the same. Now, I didn't see Shorts or the new Spy Kids , but the piss-poor reviews didn't help convince me to check them out. And his Machete movies are...well, the less said about them, the better. So, I cautiously went into this one. Sadly, it didn't even meet my modest expectations and turned out being one of the weaker films released this year so far, despite the great visuals.

We start off with a…

Just watched this for the first time since it came out and my attitude hasn't budged more than an inch in the direction of enjoying it. When it isn't just trying to grossly replicate the stark visuals of the original, it pads its time with long, redundant nude shots and strip club scenes where we see more variety in Jessica Alba's erotic outfits than anything else. and goddamn does she hit the pole in this movie, like I'm not even kidding every 10 minutes the movie would wind up back at the strip club to see Nancy grinding her ass on the stage with disgusting lowlifes watching. The whole movie is horny as fuck and usually that isn't really a…

A stacked cast, the same director and visually arresting cinematography could not save the sequel to one of my favorite comic book films, Sin City. Nobody cares at this point. They waited close to a decade to make this and I can’t believe this is what they came up with. In my opinion, the ending to the first film left nothing that needed to be followed up, so a sequel is entirely unnecessary. This is both a prequel and a sequel, convoluting the timeline since very little of the story is consistent with the events of the first film. The narrative doesn’t work nearly as well since there isn’t a main theme going through each of the segments and each…

I definitely don’t hate it, but it’s a damn shame so many actors couldn’t return. It feels wrong, you know? The film itself is just as good as the first, although I don’t care for Dwight’s story. I wish that there had been more tales like Joseph Gordon-Levitt’s. It’s new and interesting with some varying connections to some other characters. I feel that although I’m glad we get some closure to these tales, I don’t think it necessary for the film. I can read the graphic novels for that. I think it just would’ve worked better to see some new stories and some new faces, especially considering the amount of time between releases. 

I don’t know what else to really…

Sin City: A Dame to Kill For is the twenty-seventh feature film listed in the Wikipedia filmography of Juno Temple. It’s the sequel/prequel to Sin City and is more or less the same movie all over again.

Nine years prior to the release of this film the first Sin City movie felt like a breath of fresh air to me. I haven’t seen it since though and this is my first time watching this movie. The two films feel very similar, both aesthetically and thematically, but fuck me if this didn’t feel like watching a horny teenager’s wet dream this time around. I don’t know whether I’ve matured as a human being or if this one’s just a hell of…
