huh?

Rating: 3/10 (5 April 2005)

So, i saw Sin City and i don't get what the big deals about. i was skeptical when i heard that they where making the movie, though miller was still in creative control. once i saw the trailer, i was extremely excited, to say the least. from what i saw in the trailer they got the concept of how the the books look and felt.
fast forward a couple of months, and I'm sitting in the theater watching the movie. Marv's story was just about to start, so far i was not impressed nor disappointed. for some reason it just didn't feel right, i couldn't put my finger on it. this doesn't have to do with the petty stuff (ie Marv's head being bigger than his torso and it looked like he's going to fall over). this bothered me for the rest of the movie. reflecting on the movie i realized it was the pacing. none of the from the novels, in my opinion, where kept. it seemed as if it had a constant beat and every once and a while kicked it up a notch.
another odd part was the movement of the characters, it seemed as if they thought they where superheros. these are just normal people in an insane condition, no powers. the exception to this is Kevin he was the only character who's movements where as portrayed in the book.
the part of the movie i enjoyed was the jail scene, every thing moved just as the book did and i enjoyed it. as for the rest of the movie it wasn't anything special other than the way it was shot, it wasn't really a noir it was just careful with colors.
