how wrong was i?

Rating: 10/10 (25 July 2005)

wow!!! firstly i had a real high expectation for this film being that members of my family were huge sin city fans. spent many days checking the cast details and which stories they would include. three things struck a chord.... mickey Rourke as Marv, the former boxer wasn't exactly my first choice as Marv, especially after his role in once upon a time in Mexico(stupid dog). Elijah wood as Kevin, i just couldn't see past the hobbit, shallow i know. but i still remember the faculty. his speciality is nerdy! lastly the point that the film would be made mostly cgi, now i'm a fan of special effects as much as the next person but too much makes films look like a Sega genesis game. streets of rage instead of sin city.
many of you reading this think I'm now bashing the film but what I'm trying to say is that i was so....WRONG!!!! Mickey Rourke is MARV!!!! without a doubt there is no person on this Earth that could have done a better job. Elijah wood was just creepy and good on him, the noir effect on his glasses was divine. and finally the cgi aspect was astounding. Robert did a great job, one for frank miller and his fans to be proud of. in case you haven't seen it, I'm recommending it to all, comic book fans, actions fans...everyone!!!!
