Chris S @Janomi 6d Sin City: A Dame to Kill For is excellent visually, even when the story is not as strong as the first film. The black-and-white comic-book noir look remains striking, with sharp shadows, bursts of color, brutal violence, and a world that still feels rotten and stylized. Eva Green is the best thing in the sequel as Ava Lord. She is seductive, manipulative, dangerous, and completely toxic, and Green plays her with the larger-than-life energy the material needs. Mickey Rourke also remains one of the strongest pieces of this world, giving Marv the same brute-force loyalty and tragic simplicity. The pulpy noir attitude still works, with crooked cops, doomed men, dangerous women, revenge, betrayal, and blood. The movie is more uneven than the original and less fresh, but the style, Green, and Rourke keep it entertaining. See more David S @IH8Phags69 Jul 1 Such a stupid a$$ movie! See more Michael D @0redeyes0 May 1 Great cast and as usual a visually appealing experience. However, even with the cast and unique graphics, the storyline was lacking. This is another flick to catch on a streaming service, watch it at your leisure and enjoy the entertainment at a discount.

The black-and-white visuals with splashes of color are still striking, and the atmosphere is strong, but the impact isn’t quite the same this time around. The stories are decent, but they don’t hit as hard or feel as memorable. Some moments stand out, but others blend together, making the film feel uneven. It has the same gritty tone and noir style, yet it lacks the sharp edge and freshness that made the first one stand out. It’s not bad, just not as engaging or exciting as it could have been. Overall, I’d rate it a 5/10—visually cool, but kind of average underneath the style.

Unfortunately for me this was definitely a step down from the first film. Yes it had the same beautiful cinematography and some of the same cast but that’s were the similarities end with the sequel. The story is no where as engaging and even the acting from the better cast felt phoned in. Ultimately this isn’t a must watch as its predecessor.

A continuação mantém o estilo do primeiro filme, com sexo, drogas e violência estilizada, mas as tramas não têm a mesma força — especialmente a última, centrada na vingança de Nancy, prejudicada pela limitação de Jessica Alba nesse tipo de papel. O restante do elenco se destaca: Marv é possivelmente o segundo melhor trabalho de Mickey Rourke, e Eva Green, Rosario Dawson, Powers Boothe, Josh Brolin e Joseph Gordon-Levitt também brilham. Como sempre se disse, Miller cria HQs cinematográficas, algo comprovado por Sin City e 300. O visual inspirado nos quadrinhos continua sendo o maior trunfo do filme See more Read all reviews
