Excellent

Rating: 9/10 (2 April 2005)

Immediately upon seeing the trailer for the film I thought style over substance, but was completely proved wrong after seeing the story in it's entirety. Three heroes - One using brawn, one brain, and one heart tell their stories through voice over which at first seems drowning, but lightens up and becomes quite interesting. The images go panel for panel with the comic (So I'm told) and each frame in the film is even more visually stunning than the last. Bloody, yet somewhat bizarre violence, produced a few laughs. The acting however was top of the line considering I've never heard so many cheesy lines spoken so believably. I was mesmerized with Sin City during my time there, and could recommend this film to anyone who enjoys Robert Rodriguez, Q T, comic books, originality, or just plain fun at the movies. A-
