That was 100% his project and a labor of love. I didn't thrill to 2 as much as 1, and 3...glad he enjoyed it. Once Upon A Time In Mexico could have done with some editing, but again, it was all his vision. Sin City, and what it took to get it made, erased any misgivings I ever had about him. He ad to leave the Director's Guild because he wanted to give Frank Miller directing credits. It ended up costing him the John Carter Of Mars project he was working on at Paramount because they are a union only house. So his sense of right ended up costing him a huge project (which has now fallen apart and changed directors twice since he left), but it gave me a whole new appreciation for his belief in his own work.

But then again most of it is Frank Miller...
