pretty bad...

Rating: Null/10 (9 April 2005)

I don't believe these idiot IMDb users voting this film in the top 250? I'm sorry, but i just did not get this movie. I know there were some fun scenes and shots, but the film as a whole was not so great, certainly not great enough to be called one of the 100 greatest movies of all time. It seemed to me that this film's purpose was to explain sin city, it surroundings, just as the comic book was, however the plots in the film didn't entangle at all. The film would have been a lot more likable if audience members felt this film had a real purpose, than just mindless killing, even if it was stylish, a bit.
And how many bullets can one take before dying, for the bad guys it was considerably less than the three main characters.
I must say that Mickey Rourke was excellent and made his part better, Clive Owen's piece was stylishly shot, but by the time Bruce Willis' story came around, the film got more and more ridiculous, and leaving the theater, hearing people rave, i thought, sin city have sinfully seduced these poor souls, probably the die hard Tarantino fans, into appreciating nothing but stylized violence. Perhaps if the stories did entangle, i may have walked out with a good review, but i have to give this a short thumbs down, as this was one of Rodriguez's worst films.
