Better than Cool Hand Luke!?

Rating: 1/10 (29 May 2005)

As I scan down the IMDb top 250 I came across the latest example of grade inflation; Sin City ranked 123, two spots ahead of Cool Hand Luke. Let's put it this way; forty years from now it will be obvious that this movie was nothing more than a fart in the wind. It's unfortunate that people leave the theatre all jazzed up and then overrate a movie.
Robert Rodriguez is a no imagination hack. I rue the day that El Mariachi was released. I notice that when promoting the film they didn't say, "From the minds that brought you Robocop 3 and Spy Kids 3-D". I know it's a comic book and that means style over substance, but rank the movie accordingly. This is not the 123rd best movie ever made. 5 out of 10.
