really good stuff here

Rating: 10/10 (4 April 2005)

Sin City is great. It looks great, first of all. I can only imagine all of the details of the work that went on to achieve the results they did on screen. THe cinematography was perfect when you consider the objective: to make a movie that looks like a comic. Every effect, camera angle and effect pulled this off brilliantly.
I won't comment on the plot because, firstly, I didn't read the original and I wouldn't want to spoil it. The characters, however, were well cast. Jessica Alba was a particularly wise choice, she is an absolute bombshell. I think my favorite character, however, is Marv. The overgrown, grisly, ugly beast who tears apart cops and thugs alike in the name of the hooker who had a heart of gold.
Really good stuff here. Go see it.
