Review of Sin City: A Dame to Kill For

Oh I have been waiting to see this for nine long nerve wrecking years. This film is long overdue. Due to the period of time it took to dish this out one actor had to be replaced sadly (R.I.P. Michael Clarke Duncan), one replaced due to pregnancy, and a third had to be replaced due to prior engagements. I did think everyone still pulled off their characters well and I enjoyed the new additions. Sadly time takes peoples' interest away and this hasn't been doing so good for that reason. I however thought it was a great follow up even if it is quite belated. I loved how even actors of minor characters made quick appearances throughout the duration of the film. I do think some characters needed a bit more screen time than they were given, but maybe we will see more of them if they make another one.

Marv still has to be Sin City's coolest citizen. Miho although played by a new actress was still brutal awesomeness. I thought Josh Brolin was a great choice for Dwight and really pulled off the tragedy of the character in my opinion. Dennis Haysbert was alright, but he didn't live up to Michael Clarke Duncan's version of Manute. Eva Green and Juno Temple love their bodies and so do we. Green barely wears any clothes throughout pretty much the whole movie. I would be screwed if I ever came across Ava if she were real and looked like Eva Green. That is definitely a plus for me lol. Jessica Alba doesn't have to get nude to make you squirm. She just has that vibe that draws you in and the seductive dancing to keep you entangled. All the performances in general were just great and the characters were portrayed as I liked.

I thought the action was excellent. The cinematography was excellent and it felt like I was watching the comic like it were a 3-D pop-up book. Of course the CGI was much better than the previous installment, but yet it still felt like it matched with it perfectly. They threw in a lot of little homages to the previous film that I caught. As you would expect from Sin City all the stories are tragic and brutal. The world is a crappy place sometimes, but I would have to say Sin City is one of the worst. I really think people should forgive the delay of time it took to make this and just go see it. It's quite fun and enjoyable. It stays true to the graphic novels as I remember. It was executed really well and was a good watch. I approve.
