Too much style... Not enough story!

Rating: 5/10 (10 August 2005)

Sin City is a very stylish movie, with lots of different colour effects and symbolic references but I feel the style kind of outweighed the lack of storyline. They never really went into any great detail about the characters and what was going on. The fact there are 3 different stories and it's all over in the space of about 1 hour and 40 minutes meant that each story was rushed and out of the way quickly.
What they should have done with this book was split it up into three separate movies. Then they could have spent more time getting the audience interested in the story and the characters rather than blinding them with stylish effects.
