I'd rather watch Dick Tracy!!!

Rating: 2/10 (19 September 2005)

As creative as the trailers were, I expected much more. Yes this film is aesthetically pleasing and contains all the gratuitous violence one comes to expect from Rodriguez/Tarantino, but c'mon. I can appreciate the comic book feel but this is quite possibly the most overrated film I've ever seen. Well second only to De Palma's Scarface of course. I was apprehensive to watch Sin City for fear of holding it against the extremely talented cast. When I finally broke down to watch it I counldn't have been more disappointed. Not even the gorgeous women including that of Alexis Bliedel, James King, Carla Gugino, and Jessica Alba could save this poorly written and poorly acted computer generated pile of trash. It's worth noting Jessica Alba, attractive as she may be, is exceptionally terrible. The best part of this movie, besides it finally ending, is trying to figure out what I hate the most about it. Was it Nick Stahl looking like the creature from 'Mac & Me', was it Jessica Alba awkwardly making out with Bruce Willis, was it the lack of chemistry between Rosario Dawson and Clive Owen, was it Brittany Murphy attempting to act,or was it the horrible voice overs from Rourke/Willis? Yeah it was all of those things. Elijah Wood was good... he didn't talk. I'm gonna go watch Dick Tracy now!!! At least everyone admits that one's bad!!!
