Sin City: ★★★★ ½
The movie was unlike anything I’ve ever seen…tons of violence and nudity… this movie rocks!!
Powers Boothe, Rutger Hauer, Mickey Rourke, Bruce Willis, Michael Madsen and Benicio Del Toro and Michael Clarke Duncan. All in the same freakin movie!
Nobody plays the wounded lion character better than Mickey Rourke, he pretty much IS that guy, in more ways than one. Larger than life, and more honest than any other Hollywood actor. There’s a reason why any so-called “tough guy” in the industry looks up to him like some kind of saint. It’s so good to see him get a major part again, he deserves gigs like SIN CITY. Elijah Wood playing a ‘not cute’ character (though he can’t help looking like a creepy Harry Potter).
Anyway - the movie is incredible looking, and REALLY nasty gore/violence (even if mostly in blue-tint filtered monochrome). Strong cast who seem to slot into their roles perfectly, a twisted nasty little story - and it looks like no other movie shot, ever.
I’m looking forward to the DVD to see all the extras making ofs/etc.

Sin City was definitely like no other movie I’ve ever seen. I liked it a lot, and it disturbed me on so many levels. I hear they’re going to make a part 2.

I sit back and think about the movie again, it is probably the best movie i’ve seen so far in 2005 and in my top ten list of movie from 2000-2005.

You have to think about that? Right after Josh Hartnett wooed the girl in red and shot her, I fell in love with this move immediately. The best summer movie so far.
