I'm not a 13 year old boy with a thing for torturing small animals, so I guess this movie wasn't really intended for me, but I'll give my opinion anyway.

Rating: Null/10 (9 April 2005)

There is a monotone grumbling narration throughout Sin City. Here's one of my favorite lines:
"I'm a grizzled old guy with a weakness for damsels in distress. This little girl/hooker/stripper is gonna get raped and killed/won't be avenged if I don't start shooting every guy I meet in the crotch. But it's not enough for you to see all this. I'm going to tell you about it-- even the things you can see for yourself. Plus every other repetitive thought in my head. The only times you won't hear my grumbling is when I stop to shoot some crotch. And for your viewing pleasure, Rodriquez has given you the same story 3 times. And after you've been squirming in you chair for what seems like an eternity, the movie's going to have several false endings, just so you can experience the same torture as all the people on screen. But watch for moments of unintentional hilarity, like Frodo as Harry Potter as Sabertooth as cannibal. Or Rory Gilmore the hooker. Or the goofy pumpkin head guy's yellow blood in the snow. Will he write his name in it? Suspense!"
Maybe 10 years ago I would have enjoyed a movie just for it's visual trickery, but I've seen a lot of special effects in my day, and I just don't give 2 craps anymore. I need characters I actually care about who have something to say. Now if you'll excuse me, I've got to go take my special medication that stops me from becoming the maniac that every one would always said I would be.
