Sin City - Instant Classic

Rating: 9/10 (2 April 2005)

Now, I've came out of movies with a high that clouded my judgment and caused me to believe I had just seen the most badass movie of all-time (The Matrix Reloaded being the most recent culprit). But I can say with all the assurance in the world that Sin City is one of the most innovative movies of all-time, and was captivating from the first frame until the last one. It's easy to pigeonhole this as Pulp Fiction for comic freaks, but that's unfair: Sin City stands on its own as a modern cinematic masterpiece of comic-noir that will be unrivaled for years to come. Coming from a huge Robert Rodriguez fan, this is easily his best movie, and probably will remain his best. If Rodriguez can do any better than this, I'd make sweet love to him.
