This movie rocks!

Rating: 9/10 (19 February 2007)

When Sin City first came out, I had no interest in seeing it. I had never been a fan of stylish black and white films or films that were based on comic books. And I had heard of all the grisly violence in this film and that made me not want to see it even more. But my cousin had told me all about it and kept telling me how great it was but I kept telling her that it just wasn't my cup of tea. But a couple of weeks ago I was trying to find something to watch on television and there was just nothing on I was interested in watching. So I saw that Sin City was on and turned it on there. It has already been on for like thirty minutes but I just started watching it and became enthralled and had to watch more. I couldn't turn it off! This was such a cool movie. I loved all the characters. My favorite character was Marv, played to perfection by Mickey Rourke. He had the best lines in the whole film. I'm not normally a Bruce Willis fan but he was great in this film too. Elijah Wood, in a change of character for him, was extra creepy as Kevin, the cannibal. And Clive Owen! OMG I loved Clive Owen as Dwight McCarthy. Besides Marv, Dwight was my favorite character. His sequence with Benicio Del Toro was one of the best scenes in the movie. This film was extremely violent and I did cringe on some parts, but it didn't' distract me from the film. I thought it was extremely well done, well written, well directed, well acted, and overall a great film. Sin City is one of the best films to be adapted from a comic book. I'm glad I ended up seeing it because it's now one of my favorite movies. Sin City rocks! Thanks for reading my review! ~LaTissa~
