You're not too bright. Frank Miller sells millions of movie tickets for the same reason Britney Spears sells millions of records-- that's basically what you said, as any reasonable person would agree (but not necessarily you). They are both artists, each producing a different sort of entertainment product.
You say this for no good reason, of course-- it's your opinion and nothing else. That's okay; it's just a stupid opinion since it's based on nothing. The analogy is false. About the only supporting statement you made was that the plot was weak, but I doubt that you'd be able to offer a decent analysis.
Actually my opinion is based on what I've observed about your generation which I believe most of this movies fans belong too. You are easily swayed by hype which is why mediocre movies such as this one is a hit and why mediocre music such as Spears is so popular.
why do you say it is mediocre?
i've noticed the movies lately have no replay value. even movies i thought were pretty good the first time around. for example, i thought Batman Begins was a decent batman film, but frankly it has no real replay value. i tried watching it again recently on HBO and it just bored me to tears.
Sin City was the same way, it seemed pretty good the first time thru, but not so good on replay.
Shawshank Redemption i've seen 4 or 5 times and it seemed pretty good each time.
