Take a look at The Dark Knight. Pretty heady stuff there, and the numbers speak for itself there. If all you've ever had are cheeseburgers, how do you know you won't like a filet mignon? My problem with Miller here is that his style of storytelling is GREAT for pulpy comics, but writers like Eisner and Alan Moore are just...better. Bigger writers. Sin City played out to me like a movie trying to ape the style of a comic book, which, in essence, was aping the style of Chandler, so its' identity, it's style gets lost. Imagine Iron Man done by Frank Miller...don't lie and say you'd love it...you KNOW how goofy that would be. From what I can see, The Watchmen looks pretty much exactly like the comic book...and that is about as heady as a comic book gets. A great artist can work in many styles. The death of an artist is to fall into a rut and produce hollow work. If this bombs, it may inspire Mr. Miller to show what he can really do, in so far as telling a story. Chandler was great, the original. But his books read like like real life. Miller reminds me sometimes of James Ellroy. I heard him speak once at a noir film fest, spouting off "lingo" like, you know, the "real deal". Lotta telling, not enough showing. Don't get me wrong, this movie might be cool. But it's NOT the Spirit. At all. That's a totally different movie, for some other, alternate reality. In this one, it's, yes, I'll say it again...Sin City 2: The Spirit Sorry Philip M., but given the chance, audiences can appreciate more than they’re given. Take a look at The Dark Knight.

He's taking Eisner's work and making it more sellable to the public. But he is doing what the Wachowski brothers did to V for Vendetta. Turn it into something its not. But Miller and Eisner were friends, so at one point Eisner could have said to do whatever Miller wanted with his stuff. Unfortunately, if V for Vendetta and The spirit were made the way they were written, it would have been a big openning night, then it would have bombed. These stories are too smart for a lot of people, and Miller is doing exactly what any other hollywood person would do. Gut it, put in women and big action (not that with The spirit you need to add more women). I will see this movie but I'm a little disappointed in Miller. Hopefully, he'll realize what he's doing and go back to what he does best. I think Miller is getting sucked back in to hollywood like he did the early 90s.
