I fell asleep watching it.  Sin City was sweet though, and The Spirit looks promising.

What the hell? - No love for 300??? I thought it was amazing.

Anyways, The Spirit could be really cool ... Or totally fail.

i hated 300. awful, awful movie.

sin city was great.

i'm a biggest fan of his batman novels. he definitely made the greatest batman novels ever (year one and the dark knight returns FTW!).

the spirit looks like it could either completely suck or be pretty awesome. hard to tell.

Frank miller did a sick ass Daredevil series that blew my ten year old mind.     

300 was entertaining.

Sin City was a rewatchable monster that has me salivating at the possibilities of numba two (more alba)

I don't think he should be doing any real directing or writing for these movies.  He seems to be ripping Robert Rodriguez's style for a comic that's not even his own.  I don't know.

I wasn't planning on seeing The Spirit until Sameul L threatened me to do so by being so awesome.

ive heard that robert rodrigez lost his Director's Guild membership or whatever it is because he "co-directed" a movie....sounds dumb to me, but Sin City needed the Frank Miller touch to it.

It was essentially Rodriguez directing it.  I think Miller was there just to help give the actors an understanding of the characters they were portraying.
