Ranking The Best Movie In Every Major Comic Book Franchise

13. Sin City

Robert Rodriguez's importance to the success of Sin City was underscored when Frank Miller decided to strike out on his own and direct The Spirit, with the comic book legend delivering one of the worst graphic novel adaptations ever after being so heavily involved in one of the best.

Essentially a shot-for-shot live-action retread of the source material, the unique visuals and solid performances across the board from the eclectic ensemble cast made Sin City stand out in an increasingly-crowded field of comic book flicks, relying on groundbreaking techniques to bring the world to life without making it feel like a gimmick.

The fact that a sequel arrived a decade later and fell flat on its face just went to show how well the crew had captured lightning in a bottle the first time around, because there was nothing remotely original or inspired about the long-awaited A Dame to Kill For.

I don't do social media, so like or follow me in person but please maintain a safe distance or the authorities will be notified. Don't snap me though, I'll probably break. I was once labelled a misogynist on this very site in a twenty paragraph-long rant for daring to speak ill of the Twilight franchise. I stand by what I said, it's crap.
