The reviews are out for Sin City and the're verygood. I was worried that the film would be all Style and no Subtance. And basically Ebert agrees with that. But substance isn't the point and still gives it four stars.
But the funniest was this bit from the NYTiimes review, quoting a christian movie site.
"The reviewer of the film for movieguide.org - a self-styled 'ministry dedicated to redeeming the values of the mass media according to biblical principles' - seemed a tad conflicted.
"After cataloguing everything from the film's 'pervasive pagan moral worldview' to its '33 obscenities, but no F-words' and every kind of violent act, the reviewer summed up the film as 'abhorrent' but worth three stars, calling it 'engrossing' and calling Mr. Willis 'very fun to watch.'
"'Filmmaking virtuosity aside,' the reviewer hastened to add, ' "Sin City" is despicable.'"
