Picture for Picture, This is a True Comic Book Film

Rating: 10/10 (5 April 2005)

After reading Sin City for years and then seeing this film I was amazed at the accuracy of the film to the novel. Pick up one of Frank Miller's books after watching Sin City and then compare the shots in the film to the story boards of the book. They are guaranteed to be the same. Even the words spoken are straight from the book. This is by far the best film based off of a comic book/graphic novel yet! I've seen them all. This is totally up in the 10's with the like, Hellboy, Superman, Batman, Dick Tracy and Blade. This is not another Catwoman or Daredevil mush up with all new costumes. It's not a teaser like Spider-man (where he shoots webbing from his wrist) and it is certainly not an over-the-top rip of an artistic comic like Batman and Robin was. I've seen many films based on comics and there are a lot of them, look them up some time, but Sin City is the best.
