Reading all of the negative reviews, and having watched the mediocre trailer, I was expecting a major let down, in fact I was already feeling let down. Instead, this movie delivered! I could watch this style of on screen story telling and action for ten hours straight; love the film noire aspects mixed with the modern gritty flavour.
Not as fulfilling as the first Sin City, but was shot in very much the same flawless style. Just missing some of the stranger supernatural aspects of the first movie such as the soul eating kid Kevin, and it was not quite as 'dark' as the first. They added some new story elements to the movie not from the original material, and it was pretty good, and while the mini story didn't end that strongly, it added good filler and style to the movie, along with something to ponder.
Certainly not as "meaty" as the first, but for the first twenty minutes I had a semi nostalgic grin on my face, as it brought back memories of how great the first Sin City was and how much I love this sort of movie style. They should seriously make a few more in this vein of slightly 'B' 'movieness', and together, they will be able to make up for the lost time waiting for a nine year held up sequel.
Should they have made this movie after that much time passing? Yes, but they should strongly consider make one or two more equally as good as this one.
Don't listen to all the negative reviews, if you liked the first one, give "Sin City: A Dame to Kill For" a watch and some support, and hopefully we can get some more!
