Cubussoli Very very predictable, including the post credit scene !!!
Evengyny Thanks for the memories!
Glimmerubro It is not deep, but it is fun to watch. It does have a bit more of an edge to it than other similar films.
Donald Seymour This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.
Smoreni Zmaj "A Dame to Kill For" is in every way a copy of "Sin City", just telling a different story. The same team is "behind the camera", and in front of it part of the actors from the first movie reprise their roles, enriched with some other big names, such as Joseph Gordon-Levitt, magnificent Eva Green, Ray Liotta i Christopher Meloni. The only disappointment is recasting of Dwight, although Josh Brolin did a very good job. I consider "Sin City" one of the greatest movies of all time, so it could be assumed that this is a ten too. But it doesn't work like that. A perfect ten, in addition to quality in all aspects, must have something of its own, characteristic, something that stands out from the mass, which will be remembered and that will resist tooth of time. This movie, however good, is a copy of the first one that does not bring anything new and, even if it does not fall into oblivion, it will be remembered as a copy. Extremely good, maybe even as good as the original, but still a copy. I think its bad ratings are not based on objective quality, but on the disappointment of the spectators who expected to be blown away in the way that the first film did. But the same people who was amazed by "Sin City" in 2005 can hardly be amazed ten years later by exactly the same things. If they came out in reverse order it is possible that the ratings would be reversed too. Personally, I think that the film is top-notch in every way, but the effect of "already seen" affects me too, so I have to distance it from the original.8,5/10
rockman182 Of course I was going to seize the opportunity to use this amazing poster of the gorgeous Eva Green for this post. I re-watched the first Sin City the other day and recalled how much I enjoyed the style and the different stories and characters portrayed in it. The sequel was a long time coming but when I initially saw it I thought it was rather disappointing and far off the standard of the first. I still kind of feel that way but hey I might as well share why this time.The sequel is shared in the same format as the first with a few stories, some take place prior to the events of the corresponding segments in the first film, others afterwards. There are character changes (most notably a switch of Josh Brolin for Clive Owen) but many from the first film return. There are also a few steamy addition like Jun Temple and the very SEXY Eva Green. I wasn't sure I wanted a sequel because like most sequels, I thought it would pale in comparison to the original. This is the case with this film.Some of the segments are entertaining. Others not so much. For all the style and blood and violence this film offers, the stories can't help but feel dull. The A Dane to Kill For segment was fabulous looking and so well performed by the sultry Eva Green, but the rest itself was overlong and dreary. The final segment and showdown between Nancy Callahan and Roark was also disappointing. The film and segments definitely could have used more thought out writing.The film is style stylistically excellent. Its a joy to look at on screen and still has an excellent comic book neo-noir feel to it. The bloody violence is still on point. The main pitfall is not being able to avoid to cap on the stories and brilliance in the stories of the first film. It wasn't without effort, but Robert Rodriguez has still yet to make a good sequel (at least in my honest opinion). Its still a decent to good film but it could have been much better.7/10
manosnb When I saw all the negative reviews about this sequel, I thought that it would be yet another one trying to earn some easy bucks capitalising on the success of the original. However, that was not the case at least for me. It has the same nice atmosphere and effects as the first one and new interesting and unpredictable stories. Sure it is not as original as the first one (that would be an extremely difficult task to begin with) and maybe that is the only reason I put an 8 instead of a 9. However, if you enjoyed the first one you probably will enjoy this one as well. The new additions to the cast manage to fill the gaps of their predecessors quite well. I would advise anyone who wishes to watch this movie not to get overly influenced by ratings or how good was the first one and enjoy this sequel for what it is. A nice addition to the first one, like an extension of the concept. I would gladly watch and wait for sin city 3 if it is like this one. Cheers.
ivo-cobra8 *SPOILERS* I love the original Frank Miller's Sin City (2005) you can even read my review I wrote about the original -- http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0401792/reviews-1956 Do I like this one? Nope! I dislike this movie, because we didn't need another sequel who ruined the original movie. That story/segment was a sequel. Certain segments are prequels, and others are sequels (like the Hartigan one...that one took place after the Bruce Willis/segment one in the first flick). This movie confused the hell out of me, with all those sequels and prequels like seriously. Mickey Rourke as Marv died in the original movie but in here he is alive why? Character Dwight McCarthy was replaced by actor Josh Brolin! But why? Clive Owen was just awesome actor, they did not need to cast other actor in it. The movie is too short! Jessica Alba is terrible as usual and she plays a stripper that doesn't strip in an R rated movie! The character Nancy Callahan is completely ruined suddenly she changed her hairs and she went on a deadly rampage against senator Rourke! Beating her self up and using Marv (Mickey Rourke) to help her killing Senator Rourke (Powers Boothe) stupid! This movie is stupid!!!!If you enjoyed, or loved the first one like I did, then you will no doubt enjoy this one. Only problem is, they have taken a look at what worked in Sin City and cloned it almost identically for this one. You will enjoy the film, but be left with a certain.. why didn't they broaden the already excellent comic book world they created, instead of simply repeating the first one. Wouldn't buy it, but definitely worth renting. I am sorry people I don't get this film at all? Why is Hartigan (Bruce Willis) back as a ghost? That is stupid why putting an awesome best character back in this movie as a ghost?! He was so awesome in this movie and this one he was ghost who did do nothing! "Not even Eva Green's T*ts could save this movie...!". Robert Rodriguez does more crap movies than he does good ones!.).This entry was by the numbers (and that's putting it kindly). It lacked the energy and pacing of the first film. The stories were pretty boring this time around (especially Joseph Gordon Levitt's 2 part story of 'he wins poker, spends money, gets beat up, gets more money, wins poker again, dies. The End'). Alba didn't have the acting chops to be the lead in her story, and Willis just looked bored. Why was deadly Miho replaced now by actress Jamie Chung when she was played by actress Devon Aoki (2 Fast 2 Furious) in the original Sin City?! Sounds like the sequel itself is a sin. One giant cinematic sin. This sequel sounds tired, lame, cheap and worst of all boring. I will not be watching this one anytime soon and I am glad it bombed.The replacement casting of Josh Brolin as Dwight in a story I never particularly enjoyed in the first place, the loss of both Brittany Murphy and Michael Clarke Duncan and the announcement of a new, Nancy-centric story only gave weight to my feelings of absolute dread as I glumly handed my money to the girl behind the counter. And yet, as the theater lights went dim, somewhere inside was this faint glimmer of hope, the remembrance of how deeply I loved the first one, a chill of long-buried anticipation I hadn't felt since Revenge of the Sith. That turned out great, right? Oh wait, no, it sucked.Overall: The best way to sum up A Dame to Kill For is "direct to DVD." Everything about it looks like a cheap, cash-grab knock-off of the original. It's not awful... it's just not Sin City.Sin City: A Dame to Kill For (also known as Frank Miller's Sin City: A Dame to Kill For) is a 2014 American 3D neo-noir crime action thriller anthology film and follow-up to the 2005 film Sin City.
