Sin City

Sin City was basically a composition highlighting all of the negative aspects that cause me to dislike comic books set in a cinematic form. I don't see why and how the concept of restricting the cinematography of a film to match the restrictions of the panels of a comic book is good idea? The same can be said of the dialogue, why waste what appears to be an interesting premise based upon attention grabbing characters by restricting a film to a form of dialogue restricted to tiny speech bubbles? In the end Sin City felt too cartoonish to actually be fully engrossing continuing the problematic paradox of establishing poignant situation matter in an simplistic, and overall restrictive, form of media.
