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…

Sin City still looks like a nightmare painted in black, white and blood. But this time, something feels missing.

The cinematography is incredible. The colors. The shadows. The way every frame looks like a comic book brought to life. I was still hypnotized by the visuals.

But the magic wasn't quite the same.

At first, I was confused by the order of the stories. But I liked seeing more of these characters and understanding their pasts.

Some moments were brilliant. Others just felt weaker than the first movie. The stories didn't hit me as hard, and the whole thing felt less powerful.

And I really missed Suki. She was such a presence in the first film.

Jessica Alba was wild…

Action! - Three Auteurs: El Campamento De Robert Rodriguez

Whenever I critique a film, the first thing I usually do is try to judge it not so much based on what I would like it to be but rather on what I think the film's goals are. As such, if this sequel aims to be less of a conventional film and more of an exercise in style and editing, then the film is a resounding success, because even though its aesthetics and tricks are not as new as when they were first introduced, there are still wonderful moments and sequences that left me speechless. The direction is equally great from Frank Miller and Rodriguez, with the latter bringing a certain…

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.…

This might not be a popular opinion, but I have to say I prefer this Sin City sequel to the original. The film retains the visual style that made Sin City such an experience, but other elements are scaled back. Some of the characters feel toned down and the ridiculous over the top action scenes are mostly absent, which is fine by me. This is much closer to real noir, with extra trashiness added in certain key areas. Furthermore, the stories featured here have much more variety than the three in the original: with the title track "A Dame to Kill For" taking the cake for best of the whole bunch. This one dominates the runtime and rightly so. It's…
