I film that is different

Rating: 5/10 (11 April 2005)

I went to watch this movie based on hype. I had no idea Sin City used to be a comic. People posted some links about the trailer of this movie, so I watch the trailer, and i was like wow, this is different, so i went to watch the movie.
Spoilers plot: I'm a big believer in a good plot, no matter how bad the movie, a good plot could win me over, I didn't like the plot of this movie. I didn't know that this movie would split into 3 plots. I thought Bruce Willis was the main character throughout the movie, but he was not. So at the end of his scene, I was like, where did he go? And i thought in the second plot, the guy was still Bruce Willis, but he was not, i don't read the comic, so I had no clue. The film then splits into two more separate plots before returning to Bruce Willis plot. I'm thinking this was done to show what Sin City was like through three different views through three different people how bad Sin City is. One things I don't understand was, look, i know its a comic though, but why does some guys get shot 15 times, and nothing happen to them, while some get hit once and there dead. And why is he hurt by gunshot on some scenes and seems to be immune to gunshot on other scenes? This includes some of the main characters, some scenes, they get right up after being shot. Oh yeah, one of the other strange things that bother me, was the characters saying cheesy lines, like, "i'll get em for you, i'll get em good" maybe not exactly those words, but there were a lot of those lines in the movie, for comic relief? i don't know.
Acting: The acting was OK I guess. I felt the guys did a pretty good job. The girls in the movie didn't real do anything for me, especially Britney Murphy, Alexis Bledel, it just didn't seem right.
Sound: Well, its hard to comment on this, seeing that most of the sounds were from gun fire, the visual effects made up for it I guess. The trailer for this movie was done nicely with music.
Visual effects: My comments have been pretty tough on this movie, but I still gave the movie 5 stars because, I felt the movie showed some nice visual effects. Its different to see a black and white film, with all these film these days from Disney and Pixar showing you all these vibrant colors. Color is added to certain objects in this movie only to add to the scene, which i felt looked pretty cool.
