Best Comic Adaptation Yet

Rating: 8/10 (21 April 2005)

I'm a strong comic-book fan, been one for years, and i really enjoy the fact that Hollywood has decided to delve it's hand into comics to find their place on the silver screen. many movies have been made over the years:flops (captain America), breakthroughs (X-Men), and more. Sin City, by FAR, is the most incredible move to the screen that any comic has ever made.
Robert Rodriguez has made a work of art. His Visual dreams and visions have come to the screen with such blinding color (and sometimes "mute" color) that it seems like this is what he was made to direct. the intensity of each story keeps your eyes racing across the gray, white and black scenery of Sin City looking for the next dead body, ominous clue, or gorgeous temptress that may find her way to our lead characters.
Mickey Rourke does a fantastic job as Marv, the thug who finds love and loses it just as quickly. his intensity really drives this powerhouse movie. Clive Owen Looks right at home as the courageous Dwight, risking it all to keep the peace in Sin City. The cast in itself draws you in. every character (no matter how small) brings each story to such vibrant detail that i could not imagine these stories without them.
i've read all the Sin City graphic novels and sat in awe. i do the same for this movie.
