Sin City (2005)
When I first saw this I loved it to death, but as time has passed and I hadn't seen it in about 4 years, I decided to watch it again. Well I still loved the ultra-noir style of it, even though this time I noticed a couple of shots that didn't really fit the mood that well. I love the comics and I must say this is the best adaptation possible. The visual style is pretty much exactly what you'd expect from a live action movie adaptation of the book. Can't say the same about the music, then again as comic books don't have soundtracks, it's all in what you personally prefer. I always imagined a jazzy soundtrack to it, but the one it has wasn't that bad either. The cast is stellar and mostly fit the characters brilliantly. Though I thought that Clive Owen didn't really match Dwight from the comic, he was a bit too emotional for the role, but luckily he is a good actor so it wasn't that big of a deal as he manages to pull off a good performance. The stories aren't the best of the comics, but they mix together nicely so I can understand why they chose these. Marv's story steals the show as he is by far the most entertaining character of the comics and Mickey Rourke does a brilliant job at the role. In fact that story steals the show so much it makes the other stories seem a lot weaker than they really are. And that kind of makes the movie uneven at times. But then again as the pace is fast non stop thrill ride you won't get bored for a second. It didn't work as well this time as it did before but still it's one of the best comic book adaptations and a brilliant movie in itself.
