Black & White in vivid colors

Rating: 9/10 (4 July 2007)

If you love graphic novels, you have to see that movie. I hadn't read the novels before I saw the movie, but from what I understand, this is an exact page-to-screen adaptation! Yes there are many good comic book/graphic novel movies, but this is the best one yet (that is until Sin City 2 comes out of course).
300 is good fun too, but this one has also character depth. It might be too much for some people (you have 3 separate story lines), but I thought it was pure genius. On the DVD you even can watch the stories as standalone episodes (Sin City Re-Cut DVD). Although this is filmed in black and white (with the odd color "popping" up here and there), this is nothing like "Resistance" for instance, where you couldn't tell things apart sometimes. This movie here,also has gray tones, so you do recognize everything on display!
It's a graphic novel adaptation alright, but for those who are not familiar with the graphic novels, be advised that is not for children or those easily offended by violence and action! What else can I say, else that I love this movie! Can't wait for part 2 to come out :o)
