In the realm of comic book movies, director Robert Rodriguez's "Sin City" (2005) was a notable exception. Where most such movies think the idea is to make comic books look less like the printed page and more like the "real world," Rodriguez pivoted hard in the other direction, trying as much as possible to make his film look like the expressionist, high-contrast black-and-white pages of Frank Miller's original graphic novels. To put it simply, Rodriguez was one of the only people to get that comic books have something to offer beyond far-fetched plots and superpowers. Namely, a look.
