Advantages: Unique and quirky cinematic style
Disadvantages: Dismembered presentation of plot

...as you begin to watch Sin City, you cannot fail to notice the very distinctive style of cinematography. Despite being presented almost exclusively in black and white, the visual experience is undiminished, and in fact during the most pivotal plot moments the presence of colour helps to accentuate the importance of the moment. The film follows the personal development of a multitude of characters, but at times the screenplay can seem a touch dogged; ...
...quite untimely appearances later in the film of characters who initially appeared long since dead, and can take a little getting used to. It must be said, therefore, that whilst a unique idea and presentation, sin city might not be to everyone's taste - a difficult film to recommend. ... Read review

Advantages: Very well produced
Disadvantages: One-watch movie

...the BBC2 premiere of 2005's Sin City tonight with no aspirations for what the film should be like or for what the storyline should be, infact the only thing I knew about the film was that it was a pretty big deal and featured a very artistic taste of cinematography that I didn't think I would take to.. but more on that later on. I felt that the amount of promotion going into this premiere, and the fact that it couldn't make it on to a lot on BBC1 ...
...for the movie, however giving Sin City a chance I soon realised that this introduction had no baring on the rest of the movie. I soon realised that Sin City was actually a bunch of little stories set on a popular comic book series by Frank Miller that have of course been brought to the big screen by Quentin Tarantino. I think it would be very easy for someone to bring a comic book to the big screen and completely avoid bringing in any aspects of ... Read review

Advantages: A great storyline, fantastic acting and a plethora of special features
Disadvantages: Some may find it a bit too violent

...Marley Shelton based on the Sin City short story, The Customer is Always Right. The soft wind instruments and dark setting establish the tone for the rest of the film. The audience hears beautiful dialogue brought to a close by a gunshot. This close relationship between beauty and death reflects the world in which the film takes place, a world where violence and socially unacceptable behaviour is the norm. . Sin City, with its film noir style is ...
...years. This may be because Sin City is unlike most well known comics. The main protagonists do not take on the role of traditional heroes, it can be argued that no character is particularly good but this does not stop them from being liked by the audience. One could argue that they fit Aristotle's criteria of a 'tragic hero', people not necessarily good, nor necessarily bad. Sin City is truer to its original medium the most adaptations to the point ...

Advantages: The audio is very good
Disadvantages: Video is very disappointing

...oscar for his role as the deputy and Harrison Ford is brilliant as Dr Kimble. It's a fast paced, intelligent film which keeps you on the edge of your seat until the end. Unfortunately I was quite disappointed in this blue ray presentation. The picture quality is dull and the colours are not as crisp as I expected. Some of the darker scenes are impoved but still look a bit grainy, The audio is quite good and an improvement on the original dvd which ... Read review
