With a huge, well-chosen cast and the blessing of Miller, who was on set as Rodriguez's co-director, Sin City is a gloriously stylized world unlike anything you've seen before on screen.
Top CriticFor all its astronomical body count, Sin City is brazenly, thrillingly alive.
While Sin City on screen evokes the same feeling of bottomless decadence and dread that the novels do, there is one crucial difference -- you can put the novels down.
While the book succeeded in pushing the boundaries of its medium, the film merely feels like a triumph of technology.
A worthwhile piece of eye candy.
If Raymond Chandler and Daffy Duck could have produced a child, Sin City would be their baby.
The cast is excellent and the computer-generated visuals are consistently stunning. Too bad the narration sounds like a string of clichés from creaky old detective novels.
Sin City is a lot of things, but most of all, it's fun. It may not be for everyone, but everyone should see it once anyway, just to find out if it's for them.
This extremely violent movie is NOT for kids.
On one hand, Robert Rodriguez drenches "Sin City" in his usual monsoon of ironic, macho macabre. On the other, do-gooder pride prove as dangerous as broads or bad guys, offering a thematically gray complement to arctic-white, inkblot-black visuals.

Sin City is the most accurate adaptation ever done of a comic book.
Hot chicks, big guns, bad ass bruisers, what more could you ask for?
"Sin City" is a high contrast tour de force cinematic adaptation of Frank Miller's hugely popular and wickedly grotesque graphic novel homage to the hard-boiled style of Dashell Hammett and Mickey Spillane.
A Ground-Breaking Piece of Film-Noir Fantasy.
The folks at Miramax have gone all out for the Blu-ray release of Sin City.
...a gleaming pop revelation, a completely realized vision...

About as close to geek heaven as a film adaptation has ever been.
