» Sin City

I read this comic book (the first) when I was still in Brazil (about 8 years ago). I own two copies of it, not to mention quite a few comics, also by Frank Miller. So when I heard back in January, the source writer would also be directing (the movie) with Robert Rodriguez, I was thrilled! This hardly ever happen: 2 directors and a guest director (Tarantino). It did cost Mr. Rodrigues his position on the Director's Guild, but then, who cares? He doesn't need help to make crappy movies...
I like the fact the other novels made it in. "The Big Fat Kill" and "That Yellow Bastard" are also included. I have to say, it is a ground breaking movie. At least, if you consider the caliber of the cast and production. Perfect actors for the parts (Mickey Rourke blows me away), too! I believe this movie to be, the best comic adaptation ever. Period. It looks like a moving comic... a new standart is set! Cheers!
