overrated ?

Rating: 5/10 (9 October 2007)

I've so much heard about this movie and the worship around it that I was quite impatient for seeing it, finally... I've found it disappointing !
Why ? Because aesthetically I find this movie ugly. It were supposed to be the comics' twin. A real Black & White movie. Not a Grey and white movie. I was even more disappointed cos' I had seen in a paper the screen shots made by Rodriguez to persuade Miller for making this movie. It was way better and faithful to the comics than the actual movie is.
Eastwood has succeeded in a lot of scenes of "Million dollar baby" to make what Sin City should have been visually... and this without used a computer or a digital camera. Another example : just compare the "balcony's scenes" of both Minority Report and Sin city. Nuff said ? That's the difference between 2 genius directors and a lazy one.
Fortunately, the story is the same so I can't have been disappointed by that : Miller is a great "novellist". What a shame that a good director wasn't attached to make Sin City (Spielberg ? Eastwood ? Where were you both at the time ?).
