Storyboard sketcher with no imagination

Rating: 2/10 (4 April 2006)

Sin City is another example of how not to make a movie. It relies completely on highlight scenes to be shown in trailers. There's no comment on the acting because the script doesn't call for acting, just a bunch of lines thrown together. As near as I could make out the plot is just about revenge, over and over and over, which would make it attractive to adolescents, but the script is so bad, and the plot so badly delineated, that it can only qualify as a farce. However, the farce is hampered by poor directing, which makes it look only serious. It tries to get by on block looks and the one moderately funny scene where a guy is being dragged by a car; and looks like a drawing. In effect, its the result of a good sketch artist for storyboards with no imagination, creativity, or talent. If you watch it any way, don't say I didn't warn you. I do challenge anyone to stay awake and watch it in one sitting. I don't think it can be done by any animal.
