Sin City 2 - A Dame To Kill For

I watched Sin City 2 as a double bill, following on from the first film. That probably inclined me to be a bit more critical of the sequel than I might have been if it had been longer since I watched the original. Because, all things considered, Sin City 2 just isn't as good as Sin City.

It seems more fragmented, with less pulling the pieces together. And the episodes themselves are all a bit less compelling than before. Because of the overlapping timelines with the first film, this feels more like a collection of out-takes than another instalment.

But, lets not forget that Sin City was a brilliant film. It was a big ask to expect the sequel to match it, and it doesn't, but it is still worth watching.
