I'm not a huge Frank Miller fan, like some people, but I think he does have artistic flair. This movie is a lot like Sin City (6 rating) except that it is funnier and a bit less visually appealing. It also seems to owe a lot to Batman and the story doesn't make any sense at all.
Fans of the original Eisner comics will either be sadly disappointed or outraged because the characters in the movie: Octopus, Sand Serif, Silken Floss, etc, don't act anything like their comic book originals. And curiously, the movie includes Lorelei Rox, who was a minor character in the stipes, and omits P'Gell, who was a major character.
Anyway, it is funny and looks good in some spots, so I'm giving it a 5.
