Sin City II - 7/10
Well one has to discretely not compare this offering to the original cult classic which came out ~a decade back (and had us jumping in our seats, seeing the NOIR and extreme use of color and hand sketched graphics). The characters were not fleshed out too well in this sequel. Ok, Dwight and Eva (literally and figuratively) were done nicely, but the rest of the cast seemed like fillers. Marve, all ready had been cemented in the annals of Hollywood-classic-characters, so we cannot complain about him. Hartigan (Willis) was lame and really not required, and Nancy (Alba) just could not fit the bill of having more (extra) screen presence, and actually the idea of having something to do in SC2. Roark did the job fine, but I really could not understand why Johnny (Gordon-Levitt) was actually (and his subsequent story) inserted in the film. Basically too many unlinked passages tied to seamless editing, which overall made no sense.
