2005 will be remembered as the year of Sin City

Rating: 8/10 (25 July 2005)

What can I say? Beautiful film. Those who can't see art in the form of comic book language are truly blind idiots. I wasn't a fan of Frank Miller's Sin City novels, I was just a casual reader back in my comic- book buying days, but I clearly remember a lot of panels and moments that I read, and still have them fresh in my mind. Having witnessed Robert Rodriguez's Sin City I am just speechless. It's a beautiful film encapsulated in a very violent for a mainstream film package. This is the way this material was to be done. All of the characters are like a trash can where you can reach into and find something beautiful inside. I have these clear images of Marv's story from the comics in my head, and the way it's done here Gee, it's astonishing. Everything's been said about this movie, and I'm thankful Rodriguez could capture all of it's violence and humanity in just two hours. Great indeed.
