I didn't know what to expect going into the theater, just praying that Sin City wasn't another bad adaptation of "comic book to silver screen" style movie. Good thing though, like many in the theater I imagine, I was pleasantly surprised... Full review

Robert Rodriguez's "Sin City" is the most authentic reproduction of a comic book experience seen on the big screen. The source material comes from the graphic novels of renowned artist Frank Miller, who doesn't hold back adapting his lurid tales of... Full review

I've just seen 'Sin City' and can't for the life of me imagine why Bruce Willis would be involved. The movie is filled with blood drenched actors and there is little improvement from there. This movie is suitable for those members... Full review

With Hellboy, Guillermo Del Toro lovingly recreated panels from artist/creator Mike Mignola's comic book stories and brought them to vibrant life, setting a new benchmark for adaptations that respect their source material. With Sin City, however, co-directors Robert Rodriguez and... Full review

The best you can say about the DVD is that the widescreen images look good and the film sounds good.
The three stories are narrated by the actor at the center of that particular story, and that's part of Sin City 's problem.

It's safe to say that no other film has ever duplicated the visual texture and sensibility of a comic book (okay, graphic novel , for the purists) more successfully than Sin City .
During Marv's search for Goldie's killer, he initially meets violent resistance from Sin City's lovely and lethal prostitutes, led by Gail ( Rosario Dawson ), a machine- gun-wielding vixen in leather.

These excellent visuals, smart and violent action stories, and the great work by the entire cast, make Sin City the movie an excellent adaptation from the probably excellent books by Frank Miller .
My beloved Alexis Bledel looks great, and the amazing Devon Aoki provides the best action.

During Marv's search for Goldie's killer, he initially meets violent resistance from Sin City's lovely and lethal prostitutes, led by Gail (Rosario Dawson), a machine- gun-wielding vixen in leather.
By the time Willis returns as Hartigan for the film's concluding story, you may feel that the filmmakers have overstayed their welcome a bit in Sin City.

Sin City" isn't an emotionally complicated picture or a particularly deep one, and its freshness lies in the way it refuses to pretend that it is.
Part of what makes "Sin City" work is that while the performances may be somewhat broad (they need to be, to suit the material), they stop at being grotesquely cartoonish.
