Leave your thoughts about Sin City: A Dame to Kill For.
| ABC Radio BrisbaneMatthew ToomeyThe narration feels overdone and the stories aren't as captivating. |
| Chicago Daily HeraldDann GireIn Sin City, the prose is purple ("She slips out of her coat like it's Christmas wrapping") and the cons are plentiful. And every scene sucker-punches your eyeballs. |
| Dallas Morning NewsChris VognarIf only the characters didn't have to talk. |
| Austin American-StatesmanJoe GrossThe images on-screen hewing ever more closely to Miller's original comics. Streets have rarely looked so mean, yet so removed from reality. |
| Código espaguetiNicolás RuizA bad movie that overshadows what Miller can still give and which shelters the expectations of those who waited so long to receive so little. [Full review in Spanish] |
| WaffleMovies.comWillie WaffleA sumptuous visual feast for the eyes engulfing the audience in a dark, bleak world. |
| Dark HorizonsGary DowellUnfortunately, the long-awaited sequel Sin City: A Dame to Kill doesn't prove to be worth the wait. Whereas the first film was kitschy, ambitious schlock, its sequel is a monotonous, shallow, parody of its predecessor. |
| Detroit NewsAdam GrahamThe movie winds up folding under the weight of its own heavy tone, itself another victim of the darkness and nihilism of Sin City. |
| ReelViewsJames BerardinelliThis movie is mostly about visual razzle-dazzle and riffing on film noir conceits. Rodriguez hasn't deviated far from his mission statement for the original and that's a good thing for Sin City fans. |
| Total FilmJames MottramNot as groundbreaking as the original, nor as expansive as all the best sequels are. But with some excellent cast additions, and Miller on murky form, this still sizzles to the touch. |
