Holy shit, there was a sequel to Sin City and I had no idea it actually released. And it had a great cast?!

[NTGYK]

I honestly don't know if I literally just forgot that this released or that it existed or what. Like I remember reading about Eva Green being in it, and looking at the trailer again, it seems vaguely familiar, but I genuinely cannot parse the fact that this film was actually released! I'm not terrible shocked that it didn't get great reviews, but fuck, I'll watch Eva Greene in anything. That other "bad movies with great scenes" thread made me look up the 300: Rise of an Empire trailer, which led me to looking up Sin City, which led to this. WTF.


The trailer makes the movie look terrible btw. But still, Brolin, Gordon-Levitt, Alba, Greene, Dawson, Booth, and Roark.

 

[Cipher Peon]

I liked it better than the original too! Fun movie

 

[JasonV]

Eva green took her top off.

That's all I remember.

 

[PersonAndStuff]

It's decent. Eva Greene is naked in it a lot. A lot. Worth a watch.

 

[Gentlemen]

awful film, years too late.

 

[HomerSimpson-Man]

I totally forget they made a sequel. They really waited too long to make one.

 

[Cipherr]

I pretty much hated it. I mean yeah its a sequel but not nearly as good as the first man. Not even close.

Bricked at the box office too IIRC. And rightfully so. Ugh..

 

[AlexBasch]

The storyline with Joseph Gordon-Levitt was interesting. And Eva Green poster with her almost naked was banned I think in USA, but she's holding a gun and that was in the "acceptable" guidelines for censoring I guess.

[TheManWithoutFear]

I remember not liking it whatsoever but also not really being able to place why at the time. It was just kinda...boring to me?

 

[starpower]

it was better than the spirit at least

 

[PersonAndStuff]

Eva Greene was also in the way too late sequel to 300. Again, she was naked a lot. Okay movie.

 

[justin haines]

I remember nobody liking it so I never bothered but the first one got 3 or 4 watches outa me,

 

[Platy]

on a related note, it is borderline impossible to find the theatrical cut of sin city ... all i can find are versions that separate every story and it is clearly the inferior version

Eva Green deserves better, I tell you

 

[PopsMaellard]

I have a giant poster for this in my closet still. I loved the original despite its obvious flaws, but the sequel is genuinely atrocious.

Eva Green is always great, but even the remarkably bad 300 sequel with her is more worth a watch than this.

 

[Adventureracing]

Awful movie. Not even Eva Green could save it.

 

[PersonAndStuff]

Eva Greene deserves to be naked a lot in a Marvel movie and her role is so critically acclaimed that she wins an oscar for it.

 

[DiipuSurotu]

Eva Green <3

 

[Count of Monte Sawed-Off]

It reminded me of one of those FMV games from the mid-90's. That's not a good thing.

 

[Simo]

Yeah it wasn’t very good and I dug the first one a lot. It didn’t help it took 10 years to get a sequel and while A Dame To Kill For is a good story, the original stories in the movie really weren’t all that good and the first film had the better 3 books adapted. The whole film is shockingly forgettable given the impact of the first, I mean Clive Owen doesn’t even show up as the post-operation Dwight right? i genuinely can’t remember. lol

I guess they’re working on a Sin City TV series? Probably debut sometime in the next decade. lol

 

[Scullibundo]

Josh Brolin was no Clive Owen.

 

[jack_package_200]

Eva Greene deserves to be naked in better films

She rules

 

[Secretofmateria]

Mickey rourke deserves to be naked in better films

 

[Tall4Life]

Arguably most people deserve to be naked in better films

 

[sketch_turntable]

I saw it in 3D and thought the effect was really well done. One of the better uses of 3D.

 

[azeke]

Recasting Clive Owen's character with Josh Brolin is the most hilarious shit.

 

[Musubi]

I had... zero clue there was a sequel?! Was it in theaters or direct to video?

 

[Tochtli79]

I liked the original a lot and watched this years after it released, I don't really remember it at all except for being disappointed with it.

 

[Labor]

The sequel was cheeks, late, and the visuals were no longer novel.

 

[flatearthpandas]

Yeah, got some bad news for you. Also, the first one doesn't really hold up either

 

[Lashes2ashes]

I loved the first one, could not wait for a sequel, then after forever in development he’ll it came out and all the reviews said it was super inferior to the original. So I never even watched it lol.

 

[VeryHighlander]

The only interesting part about it is JGL’s storyline.

edit: and Eva Green

 

[fairyd]

I saw this film in the theatre and I can't remember a damn thing about it. It was a terrible forgettable film

 

[JigglesBunny]

It’s more Sin City. It’s not nearly as novel and the tone is more inconsistent but it’s still good. Solid 6.5/10. Eva Green, too. Lots of Eva Green. That’s always worth something.

 

[Laserbeam]

I liked it okay because Eva Green.

Definitely felt like way too late though. The whole thing is weird, but this is making me want to rewatch it now.

 

[Deleted member 29660]

It killed the special effects company that worked on it, they opted for a part of the profits. There wasn't any so they went belly up. Might have been the second 300 movie.

Theaters

 

[cakely]

Unlike the first movie, it was terrible.

 

[Jeffolation]

haha, I keep forgetting to add this movie in threads about shitty sequels and the like. There's absolutely nothing here. And Eva Green, who should throw her agent off a dock.

 

[Andrew Korenchkin]

Yeah, it was forgettable and boring. I saw in theaters and forgot about it entirely 30 minutes later.

 

[Skiptastic]

Like the 300 sequel, I enjoyed it but didn’t love it or anything.

 

[scitek]

You see a lot of Eva Green in it.

It was a pretty underwhelming movie, though.

 

[Sacul64]

Well this thread is creepy.

 

[Deleted member 24118]

It’s really weird how it manages to be boring despite Eva Green being naked for half of it.

I did like the story with the gambler though. The one with Jessica Alba was trash, horrible story to end the movie on.

 

[Archduke Kong]

I REALLY liked the original Sin City (something about how surreal and... not happy the original movie was made it a really interesting watch, like a violent noir version of the Twilight Zone) but I don't know, when the sequel came out I said "oh cool" and didn't actually watch it despite wanting to see more of that world when I watched the first one. I guess I didn't actually think it needed a sequel as much as I thought it did.

 

[modoversus]

awful film, years too late.

Click to shrink...

That's my impression as well.

And it has one of the worst "actor simulating walking while in front of a green screen" scenes I have ever seen.

 

[hateradio]

I remember hearing about it at Comic-Con, and the response even at the time was not great.

 

[Carnby]

I barely remember the movie. It came out ~10 years too late. I do remember the original story (Nancy's Revenge) was awful and probably the worst part.

 

[Bengraven]

I adored the first film but I agree this one took too long to come out. I remember not even knowing it had been released until I saw it on streaming sites.

it was definitely weaker and missed some of the charm that Robert Rodriguez added to the mix of the first one. Felt like someone trying to replicate what happened the first time, years too late and after going through some shit.
