The countdown to SIN CITY Viewing #2. After seeing it on Wednesday, I was blown away, but still trying to wrap my head around the movie. The visuals are so amazing that you get distracted by various elements and might miss story points. This isn't a bad thing, it just means you have a lot to look forward to on a second viewing. WARNING: Unlike other comic book movies that have come out in the past few years, this is NOT an adaptation. This is a living, breathing comic book. A Black & White animated storyboard. The dialogue is comic book, the action is comic book, the characters are comic book. And it's the pulpiest of pulp. If you don't like that, "You're a damned fool." Bask in the glory that is Mickey Rourke as Marv. It's his finest role of all time. And yes, this includes Double Team with Van Damme and Rodman. Devon Aoki as Miho is a homicidal treat. My only complaint was the waste of space that was Michael Madsen. Seriously, the man was amazing as Bud in Kill Bill. This was just flat. Elijah Wood. I don't want to spoil anything, but Elijah's character is absolutely fascinating to watch. I'm almost as giddy to see it again today as I was on Wednesday. Oh, WARNING #2: Lot of genital mutilation. So if that BOTHERS you, then, well, maybe this isn't for you.
