Poor Bootage in Sin City 2

If these are your idea of good "boots" you'll love Sin City 2

Saw Sin City 2 Sunday night. As a film it completely lacked the spark that made the first one so enjoyable. For bootage it was also a complete disappointment. Yes there were a few background glimpses of decent thighboots (3 seconds max), but other than that it seemed they went out of their way to piss us off. No boots on Eva Green, but no great surprise given her character. Rosario Dawson and Jamie Chung go on an extended action mission in pumps and thigh-high STOCKINGS and some kind of forgettable gladiator sandals (I think , I don't really remember.....not a good sign).

Infinitely worse was the missed opportunity that was  Jessica Alba. For a "sexy" stripper she had about the worst taste in boots I've ever seen, shorty cowboy boots and a truly hideous pair of flat ankle boots. If the movie had been anywhere near as enjoyable as the first, I could forgive poor bootage, but the movie was un-involving and horrific footwear choices only made it worse.

In fact, the clip below probably features 80% of the decent bootage in the whole film

  1. It was probably a condition from Alba that she was to wear shitty ankle boots. Art mimics life, after all!
