You've nailed it though, Sin City was very successful but that same pallet applied to the Spirit was a mistake, though I know folks who love the movie. It's hardly unwatchable and has much to enjoy. The ubiquitous Samuel L. Jackson notwithstanding. <br /><br />Rip OffRip Jaggerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09936426877024852134noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8220285230636101823.post-8668255266059333032019-04-23T12:03:54.090-04:002019-04-23T12:03:54.090-04:00What was amazing about the Sin City movie is that ...What was amazing about the Sin City movie is that it looked just like the Sin City comic, which gave some hope when Miller was announced on the Spirit. What we got was a Spirit movie that looked just like Sin City. Eisner's visual style is so distinctive and so theatrical, it could've been a whole new path, instead of looking like a spin off. This is weird to me; Miller obviously took much from Eisner in his early Daredevil. He's stated that his first scripted story, about Elektra, was inspired by Eisner's Sand Sarif tale. Eisner and Miller appeared on convention panels and even did a book together discussing comics, but apparently there was not the sort of synergy one would expect from combining the two creatively. A curious bit of trivia is that Miller also wanted to make a Mr. A movie, but Ditko refused to consider the compromises that would had to have been made.
