sin city: lesser than the sum of its parts

Rating: 1/10 (3 April 2005)

i'm utterly shocked and even a bit outraged that the general consensus is such a positive one. i mean, an 8.7/10?!?! was i the only one that walked out of the theater feeling cheated out of my 2 hours and $10? for such a dynamic cast and crew, the results were far less than the sum of its parts. the acting( moreover direction of actors) was atrocious, the story seemed really choppy and the plot was pretty much nonexistent. was there a point to this movie? something to be learned? i walked away with neither, almost wishing i had opted to watch that bernie mac movie instead. sin city was a well dressed bum. don't watch this movie.
