Maybe you have to be a comic book fan...

Rating: 6/10 (11 October 2005)

I have never read a comic book in my life, let alone the Sin City ones. Which is probably why I thought this highly-regarded film was actually a load of nonsense (- apart from the outstanding cinematography, which is mind-blowing, and clearly took a lot of effort to pull off flawlessly.) Rated purely from an entertainment point of view, I have to say the plot - or plots rather - are weak and badly scripted, most of the characters have no depth at all (with the exception of Willis & Alba), and I spent the whole movie waiting for a climax or twist that brought together all the plots, but there wasn't one. It just ended, after a lot of senseless violence. 4/10, plus another 2 for the cinematography and Jessica Alba, who is the hottest woman on earth.
