'Sin City: A Dame to Kill' For faces many of the problems that films like 300: Rise of an Empire did. It has come way too late after the original film, and other films have outdone it in terms of the visual spectacle. The first Sin City was a landmark in visual aesthetics and eyeball candy with its dark black and white cinematography. It wasn’t a huge box office hit, but it became a cult favourite, and deservedly so. Pulp noir had never been done with so much style before, and it was great to see a no-holds-barred A-rated comic book action drama. We’ve had movies like The Spirit since then that pretty much killed the visionary quality of the style. No matter how good the original film or the sequel is, nine years is just too darned long to make a sequel.
