Sin City is my favourite movie of 2005. Written by the great Frank Miller and brought to the Big Screen by the talented Robert Rodriguez, it has got to be one of the best graphic novel adaptations ever produced. Visually unique and breathtakingly unrestrained, these classic yet contemporary tales of death, evil, revenge, justice and love all share the common theme of a strong hero trying to do the right thing by the people he cares about. With Mickey Rourke’s Marv at the forefront, I am simply overjoyed at finally having the extended cut available at my fingertips. Presented with extra footage, a superior video transfer and two amazing soundtrack, along with no end of utterly brilliant extras which will have fans entertained for hours, it is truly the ultimate edition of these remarkable Sin City tales. If you haven’t seen it then this marks a no-questions-asked must-have purchase and if you already have seen it and enjoyed it then this is the perfect collection to pick up (particularly since you get the best novel included as art of the lavish feature-packed package). Highly recommended as one of the must-have DVD packages not just of 2005 but of all time.
