While I'd enjoyed it in theaters, it had also given me a sense of déjà vu. And it started the sad trend of recreating comics frame-for-frame for the silver screen. Listen up, movie makers: When I go see a screen adaptation of a written work, I want to see YOUR interpretation, not the same thing I've ALREADY seen. Now that 2006 is far behind and I'd even forgotten the details of the comics, I can better enjoy the film, and the criticism I lay at 300 and Watchmen's feet isn't as important here because 1) Frank Miller actually (co-)directed the film and 2) I think it's a lot better than those other movies.

I had seen this movie when I was much younger, and didn't think much of it, but I watched it again today in anticipation for the second and I was gladly pleased. This is a fun movie, with amazing visuals and good performances. The style is mind-blowing, it made me want to see more and more. Very fun to watch.

Those pining over a lack of relatable protagonists are missing the point, and if you're expecting any audience empathy you are sorely mistaken. Consequently this is not a movie for everyone.

Unique movie, the best part is the Bruce Willis story and the goldie story because of the action and violence

Pure poetry. A true masterpiece of cinematography. It's beautiful how you can see mixed in a same scene originality at it's rawest form and the most devoted aspects of noir and decó that transports you to the underworld of a corrupt city where walk by con men, prostitutes, dirty cops, hitmen, vigilantes...

With a sharp cast as few times seen, Sin City was divided in three segments, The Hard Goobye, The Big Fat Kill and The Yellow Bastard, each one a volume of the "comic". I quote the comic because, actually, there are few humoristic parts. These are very well build by Benicio del Toro and his Jackie-boy in the second part, The Big Fat Kill.

Sin City's only flaw is this exact second part. It's lack of control and the length of this segment dragged the film down. If direction trio decided to shorten it and extend the third part (The Yellow Bastard), perhaps we would had perfection.

Getting back in the cast subject, Mikey Rourke is fantastic. That first segment (The Hard Goodbye) is by far the best by two key elements: the first one is this fantastic world in which we are being introduced. And the fantastic dialogs Mikey's character has to itself. His self knowledge, the political implication of his acts, everything was meticulously built.

Rodriguez, Tarantino and Frank Miller did an excelent job adapting Sin City to the theaters. In fact, it is actually a Sin calling this an adaptation. This is the comics. This is the story.

It looks beautiful. I can't remember the last time I saw cinematography as innovative as this. It's like they've literally transplanted the feel of a comic book onto the screen.

And it's the style that elevates it from good comic book movie to really very good comic book movie. Cracking stuff
