Not too Shabby

Rating: Null/10 (1 April 2005)

I just returned home from watching Sin City and I have to say I was impressed. For all those that have read the comics before, this movie may seem pretty familiar. I have only read a few of the comics before going to this film, and the comic "That Yellow Bastard" is Brude Willis' story line. I could've quoted the entire parts because they were almost word for word the same as the comic series.
Considering the other movies that were based on comic book series (ie. Hulk, Daredevil, and the terrible Elektra), it was refreshing to see a comic series that actually followed the series and not making a movie that is based on the characters.
Let's not forget about the film techniques. The entire movie filmed in front of a green screen couldn't have been a better idea. The original comics are almost completely in black and white and the green screen was able to provide the effect perfectly. It's not the first movie to do this, but they still use the effect perfectly.
Overall, the movie was pretty good. The casting was excellent, the action was heart-stopping and the technique of filming was excellent. Enjoy!
