Destination: Sin City

It's been a long time since i've reviewed a movie in my blog.... but after what i just caught, i think i have no choice but to spread the good news of.......... SIN CITY.


"Stop those sinful thoughts of yours!!!"

Synopsis:
Sin City is based on a comic book of the same name, and in fact, most of the scenes and ALL of the lines are actually taken from the comic book itself! The comic consists of 7 stories and the movie here takes 3 of the supposed best ones.... all of which are intertwined and overlapping in a "Pulp-Fiction-reverse-time" sort of way.

These 3 acts show 3 very different characters getting their way through the City with their own motives, be it revenge, love, selfishness, etc.... and the roads are coupled with blood, guns, nudity, sex, basically lots of violence.... in fact loads and loads of it, with all the 3 acts ending in their own different ways.


Tim's Movie Review: Sin City

->Thumbs-up
- Star-studded cast.
- Stylish directing with great special effects to boot.
- Captivating plots. (quite simple really, but you just can't keep your eyes off for a sec!)
- Colourful characters (some LITERALLY.....)
- Jessica Alba (altho she was like the worst actor in the film... forgiven though after that bartop dance.... :P)

->Thumbs-down
- Unbelievable scenes (ie. man jumping from buildings... but it's a comic after all)
- Overdose of violence and gore (which was integral to the film)

Tim's Thoughts:
A brilliant film in my book. From the way it paralleled Pulp Fiction (ie. last story first, first story last), the sensory overload with every stylish scene, the many different characters in the film with their own story to tell, this movie just about has it all for me. The 2 hours really went by in a flash as i was engrossed from the very first moment, always anticipating what was to happen next. It's been a long time since a movie of this hype has caught my full attention by actually LIVING up to it, and i strongly recommend you all go catch it ASAP!!


Movie Rating: 4.5/5
