Customer review of: Ronin Customer Rating: Summary: Where samurais, science fiction and genius meet Comment: The best graphic novels pull you into a world that may be bizarre, fanciful or exotic, but completely captivating. Ronin makes that grade easily. Beginning as a medieval samurai tale of blood and honor, the tale fast forwards to the near future, where a female supercomputer and a limbless man with unusual mental powers sit at the nexus of a world of biocircuitry in which machines self-assemble without human intervention. There are evil geniuses, demons, and nasty rbots. There are terrific fight scenes, some of which take place in the minds of the the characters. You won't always know what's going on, and a rereading wll be rewarding. But "Ronin"is a rewarding and highly crafted piece divesion that is well worth the time it taks to read and figure out. Customer Rating: Summary: Decent, but overrated Comment: This book is by no means bad, its just not very good. Were this book an unknown writers first tale, or a 2.99 pickup at the comic shop, I would be completely satisfied with what I received. As it is, this book is often given credit that it simply doesn't deserve. The future Miller envisions is boringly realized. We see almost nothing outside of a small compound, and what we do see are humans reduced to monsters with no character at all. The title character is boring. He's a samurai who lost his master. Thats it. Thats your whole characterization. The twist at the end is unnessesary and somewhat silly. In short, its a decent book, but its not a classic. Way overrated, but still a good read. Customer Rating: Summary: Indelible Imagery. Wonderful plot. My favorite Miller work. Comment: I still have my well-worn copy of Ronin from the early '80s. It stands today for me, as it did back then, as peerless among comic art. Though it is probably one of the least valuable comics in my whole collection in monetary terms, is the most priceless in terms of overall feel. Even though I think Sin City and 300 have ported to the screen very successfully, I worry that Ronin won't measure up to those standards. It will take a truly masterful producer and director to pull it off. I sincerely hope that Miller keeps as much creative control as he has on the previous movies. Ronin deserves that. Customer Rating: Summary: Miller being creative, and when he could draw well Comment: I had an old friend who owned this book when we were younger. Having recently read this for the first time, I wish I had picked it up sooner. Very cool storyline (especially if you consider when it was penned), drawings are well done when they need to be, and simple when it will suffice (unlike most modern comic artists who need to show off in every damn panel). My only gripe is that this it obviously a later printing, and the cover is newly drawn by Miller. If you're like me and really just can't stand to look at his most recent 'style' (if you choose to call it that), you'll wince when you look at the cover and wonder why they had to change it at all. Customer Rating: Summary: not what i thought it would be but it is still good. Comment: it could have been better if the dude who draw it and wrote it took more time on it
