Comics Sense !!

Rating: 6/10 (31 August 2005)

Stylish !! OK understood that it is a needed attribute for all good quality films, now. But Over Stylish shall be the estimation for any audience who haven't read the Frank Miller's Comic Book.
This Film at visuals is just like or little better than "Dick Tracy". Of course it has altogether different taste. Sin City is that Evil Violent City in which dwells the small town with exotic women prostitutes & mobsters. Our Characters & Heroes are sort of Hidden Natural Born killers and probably the only one who retain some respect for their own gorgeous women.
Sin City covers the fabulous touch of a fast-paced Story shot in Black & White & with a Comic style of outlook governed by good special effects & art direction. Each story has a hero out to protect the women from evil villains or avenging some kind of atrocities made on women.
But the film makers never considered that a Hollywood production is a venture for global distribution. Not even one percent of the global audience must've read the comic book. And what happens is the Hero gets shot with a machine gun and he lives. He is shot again & again, but he lives. He is shot on the chest with more than 10 bullets but he lives!!! The Hero jumps from the 4th or the 5th floor on the ground & he lives !! Why didn't the film makers make a Carton then. The Film is definitely not made for children as Sin City series of comic books are only for Adult reading. Then out of how many Hollywood movie goer adults are immature enough to relish this sort of comic fantasy on screen? The Movie then gets a touch from Kill Bill sort of sword action sequences which are of course scene stealers & greatly executed. Quinten Tarantino must have just added a value out of this comic sense of mess.
The film's best part was the Babes. The hot & the hottest babes. Jessica Alba, Rosario Dawson, Devon Aoki, Jaime King & others sets the screen on fire. The touch of romance between these hot babes & their counter part heroes is splendid.
Full marks to Cinematography. Mickey Rourke is excellent & deserves applaud for his great act. Finally the Film only belongs to Bruce Willis. Just after when the 2 prime story ends & we thought that we shall not see Willis again, comes the continuation of the 3rd story. Bruce Willis' screen presence saves us from all sort of disappointments.
