trailer:
Rolling Stone gives it 2 out of 4 stars and says, "The upshot is that Sin City: A Dame To Kill For is forced to trade on the kick the first film gave us. And that kick now suffers from stiff joints." Variety is not a fan.
Roger Ebert's site concludes,
"Sin City: A Dame to Kill For" doesn't have the electricity of the original, mainly because we've seen it all once before. Nothing new is really revealed here, either through story or style. But Rodriguez and Miller are completely committed to their vision, such as it is, and its ferocity can't be easily dismissed.Rotten Tomatoes has a critics score of 43%.

I don't even remember this coming out.
ReplyDeleteWe loved the first one, so we were watching for it.
DeleteI don't remember this film. And it's a pretty famous cast so I'm surprised it didn't get more press. Happy new week.
ReplyDeleteIt's off-beat, so not something that would appeal to the average movie-goer.
DeleteI don't remember these movies, either, but it looks like there is more than one. Sounds like the first one might have been the better one?
ReplyDeleteThe second one was much like the first, which I don't see as a problem. It seems people wanted something "new".
DeleteToo bad it got such poor reviews. Never heard of it or the original, either.
ReplyDeleteFrank Miller is a name we follow here. We knew about both of these before they were released.
DeleteI remember watching part of this on TV, but I switched off! Have a great week, Valerie
ReplyDeleteA niche market, that audience. Not for everybody.
