Best Comic Adaptation

Rating: 9/10 (1 October 2012)

Brutal and breathtaking, Sin City is Robert Rodriguez's stunningly realized vision of Frank Miller's pulpy comic books.The film stars an ensemble cast including Jessica Alba, Rosario Dawson, Benicio del Toro, Carla Gugino, Rutger Hauer, Jaime King, Michael Madsen, Brittany Murphy, Clive Owen, Mickey Rourke, Nick Stahl, Bruce Willis and Elijah Wood, among others.
Interweaving multiple story lines from the series' history, this violent crime noir paints the picture of the ultimate town without pity through the eyes of its roughest characters. In the first of three separate but loosely related stories, Marv tries to track down the killers of a woman who ended up dead in his bed. In the second story, Dwight's attempt to defend a woman from a brutal abuser goes horribly wrong, and threatens to destroy the uneasy truce among the police, the mob, and the women of Old Town. Finally, an aging cop on his last day on the job rescues a young girl from a kidnapper, but is himself thrown in jail. Years later, he has a chance to save her again.
This film is a lot of things, but most of all, it's fun. It may not be for everyone, but everyone should see it once anyway, just to find out if it's for them.Visually groundbreaking and terrifically violent, it brings the dark world of Frank Miller's graphic novel to vivid life.Obviously,it is the most accurate adaptation ever done of a comic book.
