Sin city is in short a masterpiece. A movie of its own that stands out. The sequel is not equally good, but it is a good sequel nonetheless. Questions unanswered from the first movie gets resolved and answered. It follows the same concept of short movies interacting with each other on a larger scale.
Of course alternations was made due to the 9 years apart of production. This affects the movie experience for the worse. Mickey Rourke isn't as ripped as in the first, its noticeable even though they try to cover it up. Alba is older, death of 2 actors that led to writing of a character and recast another.
As of recasting Dwight, I do welcome it, because I personally don't like Cliwe Owens acting in general. Josh Brolin really made the character of Dwight work for me and it was a joy seeing him portrayed in Art Noir form.
However, the best part of this movie spoke to my primate brain. Tits and ass. Art class porn. Amazing shots of boobs, boobs, and more boobs. Silhouettes of beautiful women bodies, in a mix of violence and gore in black and white, in the form of desperate characters in Sin city, made me love every minute watching the movie. In this, the sequel triumphs over the first. However, the pace, character development and story lines still holds true to the original.
I say go watch the movie, its not a bad one. Its almost 2 hours getting lost into the city of sin again.
