Special Effects are good, but I expected more

Rating: 7/10 (1 April 2005)

I think if this film didn't have the special effects, it wouldn't have been as good. I haven't read any of Millers graphic novels, so I guess I don't have much to say about the story, but I think as far as a movie, if it didn't have the effects it would have been a lot like other movies with multiple story lines. Something akin to Once Upon a Time in Mexico, or Pulp Fiction. Sin City was cool, but the effects made the movie. The Benicio del Toro and Clive Owen sequence was my favorite part of the film. I think the worst sequence was the Bruce Willis part. It just seemed lacking. I will definitely have to pick up some of the Sin City GN's and check them out. The style seemed to be represented well in the movie. Maybe in the future somebody will make a movie out of Ted McKeevers work. I think his style would suit the big screen. Metropol the movie anybody?
