Sin City

Didn't like it much. Fans praise Robert Rodriguez for delivering a faithful, almost frame-by-frame reconstruction of Frank Miller's graphic novels (Miller himself is credited as co-director, and Quentin Tarantino as special guest director, whatever that means), but I am not impressed with how that approach works on the silver screen. Sure, it is visually stunning, but the constant, casual, over-the-top, mostly sadistic violence completely overshadows the potentially interesting rest of the film (and gets boring after a while).
