It was a great follow up to the first Sin City. Either the people leaving bad reviews have not actually seen the movie, or they are not fans of Robert Rodriguez or comic books in general. This is the ONLY movie series out that is made to look and feel exactly like you are reading a comic. Everything about the movie has the comic book feel. The acting is spot on, the visual & special effects were beautiful to the eye. I could not look away. I have been waiting almost 10 years for this movie and I was not disappointed. If you are not a Robert Rodriguez fan and don't like comic books, this movie is not for you. For me, I would see it again and again. Now the wait begins for the Blu Ray Steelbook Collector's Edition. I can't wait!!… Expand

If you're a fan of the first film then you will find much to love. This trip back to memory lane may be convoluted compared to its predecessor, but still contains the same punch you'd come to expect.

Great action , violent , that Comic Book feel , Film Noir and the black and white . The bad , annoying pole dancing , other than Brolin's character and story the rest needed more screen time . And yes , Eva Green stole the show again !

The story and narrative, however, felt a bit clumsy at times. This one felt like it was all over the place at times a lot more than the first film did. I was also disappointed that it was and felt a lot shorter and rushed than the first film. Overall, it's still a very entertaining sequel, but leaves much to be desired, especially after waiting for it for over nine years.… Expand

The audience who watched Sin City (including me) are introduced to some new characters. Such as Johnny played by Joseph Gordon Levitt, a boy with luck while playing cards. Jamie King was very surprising as Wendy, they didn't talk much about her in the previous film. Well, Dame To Kill For starts up with Dwight played by Josh Brolin (first it was Clive Owen), he now has a changed up face using a surgery. Dwight now looks for revenge from the evil and sexy Ava played by Eva Green. The film had a Interesting path with the Nancy Hartigan story, but they didn't use Bruce Willis as much. He was just there for 3 minutes as a dream in Nancy's mind! Mickey Rourke plays Marv, a demented killer who helps Dwight in his goal. Overall, A Dame To Kill For is a badass movie. It has a great art style, pumping action but some of it slows down and drags you toward the climax. But it's a great watch, that doesn't top the original, but is really fun to watch. Even If you are not the comic's fan.… Expand

"Sin City: A Dame To Kill For" is an excellent sequel to the original "Sin City, as most of the simplistic black-and-white visuals are kept with an excellent cast that boasts experience and power on-screen.

"Sin City" is one of my favorite movies of all time because it recaptured the comics that I love so very much. I have read all 8 volumes of Sin City and this was like opening up a whole new book because about 60% of the movie is new material. The only adapted storyline is "A Dame to Kill For" and it followed its source material swimmingly. This has a master class if actors, the standouts are JGL, Eva Green, Mickey Rourke and Powers Booth. Jessica Alba is at her best which is still only okay. Josh Brolin kicks ass as per usual. People complain about the continuity and that this movie is to over the top and gratuitous in every fashion but the fact is is that this is a comic book movie that embraces what it is and takes its Neo-Noir storytelling all the way. Its fun, its bloody, its sexy and its soooooo bad-ass. If liked the comics and the first film you'll love this.

Also The Hateful Eight teaser was beautiful.

The actors do what they can and notable stand outs include Eva Green, Mickey Rourke, Joseph Gordon Levitt, and Josh Brolin as the recast Dwight. It is a good time spent at the movies and it does not run too long at 102 minutes. This film is not going to revolutionize film making, but if you like the characters from the original and are interested in what came before or after the events of the first film you won't regret giving this movie a shot this weekend.… Expand

I admire Rodriguez for making the films shot for shot identical to their corresponding stories from the comic book series. The fact that Josh Brolin and Joseph Gordon Levitt starring in the sequel just made it even sweeter. It must be said as well that Mickey Rourke IS a badass as Marv once again and Eva Green gives a stunning performance as the manipulative femme fatale Ava Lorde. The story is made up of four stories. Two from the comic books and two original stories written for the film by Frank Miller. I found them all very enjoyable and the opening story, Just Another Saturday Night brilliantly set the tone for the film; very gritty storytelling and violence with a touch of humour from time to time. The majority of the cast give flawless performances ranging from Joseph Gordon Levitt's cocky gambler character to Josh Brolin's Dwight struggling with his past. Jessica Alba is the only weak link as expected but still gives a respectable performance as Nancy Callaghan. I only wish that Michael Clarke Duncan could have returned as Manute if he were still with us but Dennis Haysbert more than makes up for his absense and Jaime Chung is a sufficient replacement for Devon Aoki, and of course Clive Owen is absent as well due to the story taking place before Dwight has his face changed.

In closing, A Dame to Kill For may not be for everyone because of it's over the top violence and style of storytelling but a large amount of people should find the movie enjoyable including the fans of the original. Please go see this so that there may be a possibility of a third in the future even if it takes another nine years.… Expand

EvaThis movie was not as intelligent as the first one, but it was more exciting and the special effects were an improvement over the first one. It deserved a better critical reception and it also doesn't deserve to be a box office bomb. Eva Green was incredible and so was Jessica Alba. Marv was great as always, although he was dumbed down compared to the first Sin City. Josh Brolin was good too, although not as good as Clive Owen was in the first Sin City. If Clive Owen had been in this one too, this movie would have been amazing. Powers Boothe was excellent.

In summary, I was very satisfied with this sequel. It did some things worse than its predecessor but some things were improved. Overall I would say it was just as good as the first Sin City and I hope they can somehow make another sequel despite this one's poor box office performance.… Expand

I'm shocked this received bad reviews. IMHO this was a very well done sequel. The artwork, the writing, the acting was all great. It's not often that a sequel is as good as it's original counterpart.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Great movie with lots of action and story though it jumps around the 3 main stories a bit too inconsistently. The ending could have been much better and longer by few minutes instead of just ending on a stupid bang. As if they didn't want to show us more gore for some reason.… Expand

Either they totally didn't get the first one, or they need their antidepressants adjusted. "A Dame to Kill For" is as much of a balls-out homage/pastiche of hard-boiled pulp fiction and film noir as the first one. Are they different? Sure. Is one better than the other? In my opinion, no. All I know is I watched both films with utter enjoyment, a stupid grin on my face half the time. And it's the best use of 3D I've ever seen. Truly. And I've seen a LOT of 3D movies. Watching smoke wrap through the air around Eva Green's body, or cards sail across a table into the audience, or Mickey Rourke smashing through a fence on a motorcycle, laughing like a maniac -- every frame is gorgeous. And for a medium based on moving frames of film creating the illusion of life, that has to count for something.… Expand

A return trip to Sin City worth taking, provided you enjoyed the first one.

It loses some of the surprises and freshness the first had because you know what to expect from the tone and content this time, but the stories keep things great. It's dark world and beautiful visuals that look like they were pulled straight out of a comic book means that fans won't be disappointed.

Josh Brolin does a great job as Dwight before the face-change surgery. Doesn't do quite as good as Clive Owen did, and he makes the character feel different than before, but still great. However it might be hard to notice as he gets overshadowed by the fantastic Eva Green. She nails her character bringing all the sex appeal and manipulative qualities required. Surprisingly I do feel she's naked too much. There are scenes where it makes sense for her to be naked, and she's got a great body so I'm not complaining about the view, but often more than a few of the nude scenes feel thrown in for fan-service. She's still great though.

I'm amazed to say there's actually someone who steals the show from Green for once, and that's Joseph Gordon-Levitt. He's excellent as always and his plot was my favorite in the movie. If someone could and was going to steal the show from Green it would've been him, and he does despite her bare TNA and excellent performance. It's also great to see Mickey Rourke back as Marv even if his character just ends up playing sidekick to the others when they need some skulls busted. It still leads to some excellent violence though.

Getting to see Alba's "Nancy" more involved in the action is also a surprising treat, although her plot does throw a few kinks in the timeline. I guess her facial scars just healed before Marv's plot in the first movie, which her plot in this one takes place before of. Still fun though.

All around it's just another awesome Sin City movie. Not quite true noir, but takes enough cues from the genre in order to feel unique. Because of that we get some awesome narration. If you liked the first Sin City then you should like this. I don't see why you wouldn't, even if you don't see it as just as good. For me it was another unforgettable, awesome, dark, and blood-soaked trip back to the dark streets, and I loved every second of it.… Expand

The source material is weaker than the first, but the visual detail and cast more than make up for it.

Eva Green alone warrants this film to be in your collection and ultimately to be passed on to your kids and grand-kids and great-grant-kids.
