Ken Tucker

The visually stunning Sin City has grit to spare and a thrilling undercurrent of morality. Read full review

Mick LaSalle

A movie unlike any other. Read full review

James Berardinelli

The most visually inventive comic book adaptation to make its way to a movie screen. Read full review

KJ Doughton

Rodriguez slams down the sledgehammer with so much brutal, punishing force, there's no room to breathe. Read full review

Manohla Dargis

Sin City has been made with such scrupulous care and obvious love for its genre influences that it's a shame the movie is kind of a bore. Read full review

Lisa Schwarzbaum

Glued tightly from page to screen, Sin City is so seduced by the visual possibilities of sin that style becomes its own vice. Read full review

William Arnold

The attainment it achieves is in the depths of pointless, mean-spirited exploitation. Read full review

it's seriously an excellent show, and honestly a piece of art to me. The critiques that gave ridiculous scores are probably just either offended by the gore, or are too shallow minded to appreciate.

It's a artfully composed storyboard with effects that were never used before, I wasn't even a reader let alone fan of the novel and I swear to god this is one of the movies I keep next to my player anytime. I would honestly give Sin City 12 points if it were possible.… Expand

I actually watched it because of Jessica Alba, but i couldn't believe it would be that good. Comments? Come on guys, if you give this movie anything lower than 5, then it is your problem. Cast is already full with stars: Jessica, Bruce Willis, Clive Owen, Mickey Rourke and even Michael Clarke Duncan bro...Noir Crime movies is not something seen common in Hollywood (i dont even remember another Noir Crime other than Max Payne Movie) Watch it and you will love it...… Expand

I loved the way the it is presented; a pulp noir thing. I never read the comic so I really didn't know what I was in for when I decided to watch this and I am glad I did. The violence is a bit over the top but it's no big deal, it acts as part of the city helping boost the fact that it's 'Sin City'

The graphics are what make this film unique as well as the selective choice for the colour of blood, etc. Overall I thoroughly enjoyed it and those with a open mind should do the same … Expand

10 for style, but only a 5 for plot, yielding about a 7 overall. Didn't love it, but it was definitely original. Mickey Rourke is outstanding. Part 3 is repetitive, but then again Bruce Willis is a fine actor, so he pulled me in. Some of the violence was too much for me.

This is by far the worst movie ever made. The positive reviews MUST be a complete conspiracy of those who made or are paid to promote the movie.
