The way the various stories cross over
The visual look of the film
Comic book comes to life
A very stylish film based on a graphic novel, the film has a largely monochrome look which works well with the comic element. The film consists of a few stories that cross paths in Sin city. All of them are very good as well as the main story piecing them together. Very original.

I have always been of the opinion that Marvel had the best heroes and DC had the best villas, so a film full of villas sounded like a dream, unfortunately it wasn't. The best thing about the whole movie was Harley Quinn, as a character she dominated the entire film and all the other villas were pretty much superfluous. Not a great film, in fact not a very good film.

Not as good as hoped but ok
This film was centred mostly around the parents who I think were a very strong cast, I had a few laughs during the film but I did expect there to be more comedy. It did border on a chick flick kind of film, with the parent scenes breaking that up. All in all, it was s good film with a great cast but I was a little disappointed.

"This film is my church. It’s the first Gus Van Sant film I saw, and I was blown away. He zeroed in on a subculture that I thought only I knew about. MOPI is a very ahead-of-its-time film, and I felt privileged to be able to participate with even a small commentary on the Criterion release. The film has never been more gorgeous than it is on the Criterion release"

"I made a short film for the sixtieth anniversary of the Cannes Film Festival (Artaud Double Bill), which is a meditation on the scene where Anna Karina goes into a cinema to watch Dreyer’s The Passion of Joan of Arc and sees Antonin Artaud on-screen. Something about this sequence seemed to define the essence of cinephilia. Perhaps it’s just the thought of seeing actors watch another film within a film I’m watching."

Story is not as good as the first film
Not Wonderful, but good
So finally available on Sky Cinema, missed this at the cinema due to lock down. I had high hopes after the first film was excellent and more like some of the better Marvel films. Often DC struggle to match them.
This was a fun film, I enjoyed the '84 setting there are a few good action scenes. Also Kristen Wiig had a fun character.
However it's a little way short of the first film. The villain wasn't that interesting, with a weak show down and the overall story wasn't as interesting. Some of the Sfx weren't up to the standard of the first film either. So not bad as an action film but not on a level with the original film.
