Description
Straight from the pages of Frank Miller's cutting edge series “Sin City”, co-directors Frank Miller and Robert Rodriguez reunite to bring the visually stunning stories back to the screen. Dwight McCarthy (Josh Brolin) struggles with his inner demons and tries to maintain control until his former lover, the goddess Ava Lord (Eva Green), returns wanting his help to escape her abusive husband. Though once he learns her true intentions are far more sinister than they appear, he recruits the help of Marv (Mickey Rourke) and Gail (Rosario Dawson). While a cocky young gambler (Joseph Gordon-Levitt) takes his chances winning against the most powerful man in Sin City, Senator Roark (Powers Boothe). But this is Senator Roark’s least of problems because Nancy Callahan (Jessica Alba) has been driven insane by John Hartigan's (Bruce Willis) selfless suicide and is no longer a damsel in distress and is out for blood, compelled to avenge Hartigan by hunting down Senator Roark.

I see this film at the theater in 3-D and really enjoyed it . It's a film this different and unique and was made for 3-D
The Story is mostly a epilogue of the original film and going into it most people won't add this up
The Cast:
Jessica Alba returns as Nancy (In my honest opinion this is Alba's best performance) she proves she can act when given the right script
Mickey Rourke returns as Marv (Rourke once again gives a great performance)
Jaime King returns as Goldie / Wendy
Powers Boothe returns as Senator Roark (This is Boothe's film he is flat out scary and caries a lot of the film) he's performance alone makes this film a must see!
Rosario Dawson returns as Gail (we don't get enough Rosario in this film) great seeing Gail though
Bruce Willis returns as Hartigan (Bruce Willis stinks i grew up with his films but, dear God he is sleep walking through this film he only returned to get a pay check it's sad everyone else is really good except Willis and I'm sure the ego manic got pay better then Powers Boothe!
New Actors to Sin City:
Joseph Gordon-Levitt as Johnny (great job all around it's cool to see a fleshed out version of Johnny)
Josh Brolin as Dwight (his story takes place before he is introduced as Clive Owen in the original film you are given the reason why he changed his face) Brolin does a great job the only problem with the film and Dwight in this film is when you see him with the new face
I wish they were able to use Clive Owen's face to do this scene it would've worked much better
Eva Green as Ava (This was originally meant to go to Angelina Jolie if she stuck with this film it would've been watered down the Mommy Angelina wouldn't have no any nudity or gone 100% in to deliverer what we got from Eva
Eva Green is flat out amazing she is the other person that does a lot of the hard lifting!
Replacements:
Dennis Haysbert as Manute (replacing the late Michael Clarke Duncan does a good job he's doing the best he can)
Jamie Chung as Miho (replacing the pregnant Devon Aoki I think Jamie is a much better version of Miho this is the version from the graphic albums)
you get interesting cameos by
Ray Liotta, Christopher Meloni, Juno Temple, Christopher Lloyd, Lady Gaga
With Brittany Murphy (RIP) passing away Shellie was completely removed.....
The home video 3-D version is close to perfect the 3-D looks great on par with the Theatrical 3-D
Getting a film with the colors mixed with the 3-D was brilliant a film with this much style needs to be in 3-D it works better then so many films that don't...
The biggest problem with the 3D Blu ray is lack of any real extras
The extras stinks
This is a must have for anyone with a 3-D set up. This film is best watched in 3-D mostly cause the look and 3D complement each other so wheel
It's visually stunning and jaw dropping................ a must have 9.7/10
What made the original great was its dark anti-establishment theme coupled with original cinematography and action. This movie is less dark and far less anti-establishment than the original. But to me, it is actually a little more entertaining. I have watched this movie twice.
The movie did right by focusing on Marv, who is supremely portrayed by Mickey Rourke. Marv is a strange mixture of a psychopath with some moral values (he never hits women and likes to help the helpless). Marv has superhuman strength and endurance, and even greater ability to endure pain. He also likes to kill anyone he dislikes, including cops, with raging animal passion and strong contemptuous disregard for the consequences. His strange inconsistencies are as fascinating as his supernatural ability to endure pain. Marv is the most entertaining superhero I have ever seen. Marv, in my opinion, could be the new superhero focus of many more movies.
The first movie was anti-establishment to the core. Its antagonists were priests, politicians, police, and tycoons. The original was audacious and highly insulting in its beastly portrayal of those in power. And I loved it. This time, the antagonists have been watered down to a single psychopathic dame (Eva Green) and a maniac politician (Senator). Perhaps the producers thought the original movie offended too many people in power, but that was also what made the original great. To me, this movie isn't great. It is merely very good.
Finally, the endings were a big letdown. The ending of the Gordon Levitt character was a big letdown as well as the revenge of the Jessica Alba's character.
Pros:
1)Worthy of the cinematic masterpiece of the original.
2)Engaging story with wildly psychotic protagonists. Marv is the new superhero.
3)Little funnier but less darker than the original.
4)Highly entertaining.
Cons:
1)Less anti-establishment than the original. This movie is far less bold than the original, and that makes it for a less daring movie.
2)The endings were a letdown. The endings did not have the satisfactory bite of the original.
Let's be frank here: This is not a movie for everyone. In typical Frank Miller fashion, the story features a lot of gore interspersed with a lot of sex all brought to life under the skillful - if bloody - hands of Robert Rodriguez.
But if you're a fan of Miller's graphic novels, beautiful women in various stages of undress, tough guys who know how to take a punch, and over-the-top dialogue then you're going to love this movie.
'Sin City: A Dame to Kill For' picks up the story started in the original 'Sin City.' Jessica Alba is back to recreate her role as the extremely sexy Nancy Callahan; Mickey Rourke returns as Marv, the human wrecking ball; and Bruce Willis returns as the ghost of Lt. John Hartigan, Nancy's protector and the object of her affection. This second installment in the life and times of the denizens of 'Sin City' also introduces Eva Green as Ava Lord, a scheming and super-sexy woman with an agenda, and gives Joseph Gordon-Levitt a chance to play a cocky young gambler with a talent for winning and a secret. Rosario Dawson, as the leader of a tough female street gang, and Jamie Chung, as her deadliest sister-in-arms, are back as well, dealing sex and death with the skill of a Las Vegas card shark.
As in the original 'Sin City,' there are multiple story lines at play in 'A Dame to Kill For.' Josh Brolin, as Dwight McCarthy, finds himself back in the arms of onetime love Ava Lord; Marv has taken over Hartigan's role as Nancy's protector; Gordon-Levitt is trying to humiliate Sen. Roark at the poker table and Nancy wants to kill the Senator because she blames him for Hartigan's death.
Miller and Rodriguez take these twisted plot lines and smooth them out so that the movie flows seamlessly from one violent encounter to another.
'Sin City: A Dame to Kill For' is great cinema and if unclothed women and violence don't disturb your sensibilities, I'm betting you'll enjoy it as much as I did.
Along came the second movie and my friends didn't want to see it- actually I think it was mainly due to my best friend's gf who is against it- so we didn't go. Anyways, few months roll by, it becomes available to rent on Amazon so I do, and I'm glad I rented before buying. I will definitely NOT be buying A Dame to Kill For.
It took 20-30 minutes of watching the movie to realize a few things. One- like all others said, this movie is a prequel and sequel at the same time at different parts of the movie as it relates to the comic lineage, or so I've read. The other is there were 2 different casting changes, one out of necessity because Michael Clarke Duncan passed away, and as another review stated- "was replaced by the all state guy" which yes, he did a decent job at mimicking the role MCD played to perfection, but I kept waiting for insurance deals as well. The second, which really had no excuse, was they recast Clive Owen with Josh Brolin. It took a long time to understand that Dwight was one and the same as in the original. I felt completely robbed as after various research showed, it was basically the timing of the filming and how they couldn't have had at least a cameo in this- well, it robbed us. It was basically like when they released a second Punisher movie without Thomas Jane who played that role to perfection- put in the training and research to do play the role legitly, well- they up and did a sequel of sorts, the story line I read he didn't like, and so they cast some other guy. Wasn't even worth my time to watch and had I realized they swapped out Owen on this, instead of thinking of this as a totally different movie and not a sequel as it apparently was, well- I wouldn't have bothered to watch this.
The story line was alright, the movie was alright, but I'm one of those people who tends to fall in favor of original castings except when something drastic happens like the passing of an actor or jealousy of a supporting actor (:cough: Ironman :cough:). That said- if you're not a Clive Owen fan and you do like Josh Brolin (I'm not a Brolin fan yet, as I haven't really seen him in anything of interest to me), then go check it out! Otherwise be forewarned.
The time is set four years after the last movie: Bruce Willis is now a ghost that manifests himself only to Jessica Alba (hot as ever!)..Mickey Rourke's character is now her protector ( and as dangerous and unstoppable as ever)..little Miho is all grown up and even deadlier than before...all the girls of Sin City are still around. I loved it...but, there where some time discontinuities. Remember the big guy with golden eye from the first movie? Well, in "A dame to die for" it shows HOW HE GOT THE EYE...but his freakish golden orb was already THERE in the first Sin City..??..But, all in all I absolutely loved it! Eva Green is so evil and..um..exposed that I was shocked! Her Character, and her..um..unmentionables were so freaking brazen, I was jaw dropped! I was blown away by the dark character she played in this movie so well. Anyway, I'm not going to just go on and on about this, so JUST WATCH THIS!
