October 10, 2006This isn't your kid's comic book movie. This is a movie that brings it to the dirt and keeps it there. Wonderfully violent & crazy enough to be fun, despite the dark tones.
-
October 12, 2009Marv's segment takes the cake here, the rest is ok. Also, memo to Jessica Alba, stripers usually work with no clothes on. Seriously, nobody cares about your "acting" career, we just want to see your boobs.
-
August 26, 2009Sin City captures the feel of the comics perfectly. Its one of the only blue screen films I can watch but I'd still much rather read the graphic novels.
-
August 10, 2009Cool to watch and everything, with lots of hot girls...but after watching it again...eh, it's only ok. Not as amazing as I thought it was.
-
June 23, 2009How cool is this movie!?!?! A comic book come to life. A combination of modern-day CGI technology, and 40's film noir. Mickey Rourke should have gotten an Oscar nom for his role as Marv.

November 19, 2009I can agree the monotonous scene similar to the original cartoon, though, in respect of the story, I don't quite like it.

It's a hard, viciously funny little movie, one with all the subtlety of a billy club. But there's artistry here, too. full review

Mick LaSalle, San Francisco Chronicle
To remember Sin City hours later is to remember from a different part of the brain that remembers conventional movies. full review

Peter Travers, Rolling Stone
Sin City is a hard, cold, relentless assault. It's also something Hollywood seems to have given up on: a bold, uncompromised vision. full review

David Edelstein, Slate
I loved it, I loved it, I loved it. I loved every gorgeous sick disgusting ravishing overbaked blood-spurting artificial frame of it. full review

I like movie violence as much as the next person ... [b]ut I like it to have more snap and tingle than this sense-deadening slop. full review

Edward Havens, FilmJerk.com
The purest and most exquisite conversion of material from one medium to another ever achieved. full review

Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times
It's a visualization of the pulp noir imagination, uncompromising and extreme. Yes, and brilliant. full review

Colin Covert, The Minneapolis Star Tribune
I can't endorse the content, but I can't dismiss the presentation. Sin City is superlative filmmaking in service of a poisonous view of humanity. It's a dangerous work of art. full review

Nick Schager, Slant Magazine
An exhilarating tapestry of valor, selfishness, deceitfulness, and martyrdom. full review

November 19, 2008Wow. More than 7 million Flixsters are not interested in seeing this movie. That's sad. Think they prefer cheesy teenage romantic comedies instead.
