This is how graphic novels should be done when brought to life

Rating: 8/10 (16 February 2007)

Sin City is THE example of how today's digital technology can be used perfectly to bring to life a graphic novel.
Robert Rodriquez is no dummy. He knew that if this was to work, not only would he need the blessing of Frank Miller, he would need Frank Miller heavily involved. By making Miller a co-director, Rodriquez was able to keep the film true to its core while he infused the cinematic aspect of it. Frank Miller on his own doesn't make this film correctly. Rodriquez on his own doesn't make this film correctly. This is truly a great example of taking the two mediums of comics and film and pulling the elements from each that need to be for a live-action adaptation to work.
There isn't much more I can say about this film that the countless other positive reviews haven't said already. I hope that my personal favorite graphic novel, THE CROW, is given this kind of treatment. The first film in THE CROW franchise is a cult classic, but it is still not a true, literal interpretation of the graphic novel. Sin City has proved it can be done and done right. So here is to hoping all our favorite graphic novels can be brought to life as well as Sin City was.
