I'm a big fan of Frank Miller's work, and "Sin City" (2005) and "300" (2006) are two of my favorite films. But just as the sequel "300 Rise of an Empire" disappointed, this sequel is not up to the original. In fact, it is so far from the original it's disturbing. There is nothing new here, and much of what made the original entertaining is missing as well. More problematic, everyone's voice seems the same.
Some of the guest stars (Christopher Lloyd, Jeremy Priven, Chris Melonik, Jude Ciccolella) are on screen for such a short period of time it's a waste. Meanwhile, the bulk of the story revolves around John Brolin who doesn't have the charisma to carry the film, and Bruce Willis as a ghost is a waste of everyone's time. Jessica Alba has little to do except dance, which she does very well.
If like me you're a fan of Miller's work you'll want to go see this, but don't get your hopes up too high.
