unpleasent and dissapointing
I had been looking forward to this film and was very dissapointed. The style of the film is interesting but the actual story and characters are unpleasent and not very interesting. I couldn't sympathise with anyone and got fed up with the over the top violence and torture. I've read a few of the comic books and enjoyed them but they didn't translate well into the film. Overall I felt cheated.
Guilty Pleasure
Liberal fingers have been levelled at this Rodriguez/Miller directorial offering: too violent, overly misogynous, no plot, all flash and no substance.
Which, as usual, is completely missing the point.
This is groundbreaking, rip-roaring stuff with a cast to die for and style in spades. Who says actors can't act without sets surrounding them? There's greenscreen a-go-go here and everyone does their job with aplomb - unlike the limp, technically similar 'Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow'. 'Sin City' IS a graphic novel on screen, and everything Rodriguez and Miller said it would be.
Yes, it's violent - sometimes butt-clenchingly so (how many characters end up losing parts of their genitalia?). Yes, it's misogynistic - female characters...
Sin City
Carina ChocanoDo graphic novels really need defending anymore? Because the oppositional, slightly defensive comic book guy stance is starting to feel atavistic. Michael Chabon won a Pulitzer Prize for The Amazing Adventures of Kavalier & Clay, and then took a crack at the script of Spider-Man 2. National Book Critics Circle Award-winner Jonathan Lethem just published a book of essays called Men and Cartoons. Even Ghost World creator Daniel Clowes -- from somewhere deep in his alterna-comics lair in Berkeley -- is on his second movie adaptation. The term "graphic novel" alone says all there is to say about comic books' cultural rehabilitation in the last two decades.
Of course, with Sin City, Robert Rodriguez didn't set out to protect legendary comics auteur Frank Mille...
