Mindless violence

Rating: 1/10 (30 March 2007)

I rented this movie based on the great rating it got on IMDb, without taking the time to read more than a couple of reviews. Big mistake - I hated Sin City. After an hour of extreme violence, terrible acting and little or no plot, I gave up on the movie.
Although I'm no fan of violence, I will watch it if the film has other merits - I enjoyed The Departed. I wasn't aware that Sin City was based on a comic series. If Sin City is at all representative of modern comics then I'm glad I gave up on comics years ago.
I can't remember when a movie last made such a negative impression on me. It wasn't simply a matter of disliking the movie, I really disliked Sideways, but I managed to watch the entire movie. A movie has too be really bad for me to give up on it, and Sin City certainly qualifies.
