Sin City 2: A Dame To Kill For

I just didn't get it, I know it's based on a graphic novel, but that doesn't mean the film needs to look like one. The strange mix of black and white and colour and live action with annimation just doesn't work for me. It only served to take the edge off of much of the violence as it doesn't seem real. Which may actually be a good thing because this film is so casual with it's violence and death that I wonder if the BBFC would pass it in full live action colour.

The Storyline is laughable, and the acting is wooden with lines so cheesy and delivered with no emotion whatsoever.

A good film should show the audience what it wants them to know, the constant exposition via voiceover is really annoying.

All in all I just didn't get it, easily one of the worst films of the year for me 1/10

I'm Back

Apologies for disappearing for a few months, I have still been at the cinema regularly, but commitments and lack of reliable internet access means I didn't get to update this blog. All that is resolved now, so back to posting my reviews, starting with Sin City 2...
