Almost as good as the book

Rating: 9/10 (16 November 2005)

As a fan of the books, I really enjoyed seeing the pages come to life on the big screen. Too bad too many newbies had problems with what they perceived to be continuity issues. Perhaps they would have followed thing easier if the stories were presented as three vignettes, although that type of thing usually doesn't fly too well in theatres. I can't wait to see the DVD version where I can watch the stories individually. Perhaps more people will have a better viewing experience when they have a chance to see the stories on at a time. I've heard that the next movie "A Dame To Kill For", which precedes "The Big Fat Kill" will be the sole source for the next movie. That should alleviate continuity issues. Anyway, "Frank Millers Sin City" is a pretty wild near-noir ride for mature folks. Mickey Rourke does the best job of channeling his character, Michael Madsen doe the least credible job, with Alba not too far from him. But it doesn't matter - as a whole, the movie is good.
