Aug 22, 2014 · It felt fresh. That is not really the case now as "Sin City: A Dame to Kill For" is more of the same, basically, only now in 3-D, which adds some cool effects but it's not really necessary. Advertisement. Robert Rodriguez approaches the material with the same enthusiastic vision that pulses off the screen, each image tweaked for maximum drama.

It’s been nearly a decade since Robert Rodriguez unveiled his highly-stylized and obsessively faithful to the source material take on Frank Miller’s comic series Sin City. The impact that the director’s aggressive use of green screen had on cinema at large has been oft-discussed, and rightly so. There can be no doubt that Sin City - and a handful of other films released during the same time period - opened up doors in terms of the potential that the technology presented to create expansive, entirely imagined, digitally rendered environments.
The combination of the unique aesthetic and the cadence of the neo-noir dialogue captivated audiences. It was an intriguing blend of boundary pushing visuals and antiquated storytelling; a throwback to a time when women were dames and fellas were men. The film also helped to re-set commonly held perceptions of what a comic book movie could be.
The elapsing years have seen far reaching technological advances, and though Sin City did not usher in an era of comic book movies that mirrored its approach and tone, there is a far wider swath of comic-based films today than there were even ten-years ago. As a result, it’s all-but impossible to recapture the refreshing and innovative experience that the first film offered moviegoers.
For Sin City fans, A Dame to Kill For will likely feel like revisiting an old friend. As with the first, the film interweaves a collection of Frank Miller’s Sin City tales; two pre-existing - "Just Another Saturday Night" and "A Dame to Kill For" - and two original stories written specifically for the film - "The Long Bad Night" and "Nancy's Last Dance". The connective tissue between the four can feel manufactured and clunky in moments and the transition from one interlude to the next isn't quite as seamlessly rendered as it was in the original.
Though it doesn't recapture the sense of innovation of the original, and occasionally feels fragmented, Sin City: A Dame to Kill For provides an entertaining, though familiar, ride for those anxious to revisit that world.
