Beautiful movie - bad plot

Rating: 4/10 (10 September 2005)

After reading reviews here on IMDb I had some great expectations on this movie. I love movies like pulp fiction where you get to follow several characters and in the end you understand how it's all connected. Before I continue I must just note that I'm not familiar with the series at all so I might have missed details fans didn't. Where I'm getting at is the fact that I have a hard time to connect all the different sub-stories. When I left the theaters I felt... empty... there wasn't any "aha!" feeling... the characters never met, they all seemed to be involved in their own story and there were hardly any connection between them.
The violence was just silly. I'm not sure if that was the point, but I just sat there amazed at how they got shot over and over again and never died.
The movie is filmed in a very unusual way, mostly a sort of black and white. That felt very refreshing and made the movie feel like more than it was, beautiful. Sin City is everything but beautiful though, so don't let it fool you.
