Rodriguez co-directed this with Miller and considering they took so much from the graphic novels, like shooting a good portion of the film on green screen sets and inserting the artwork straight from the comics, he is part of why this film is so great.

While Miller was in fact on set and is credited as co-director he did no actually co-direct the film. Rodriguez insisted that he be given a co-director credit because he based the visual style of the film so heavily on the graphic novels, but the DGA would not allow it since he did not actually co-direct so Rodriguez resigned from the DGA. While I know that Miller had a lot of input in how the film was made, he did not actually co-direct as is credited.

I have no idea where you are getting your information from, but it doesn't jive with the reports at the time.

"he did no actually co-direct the film."

Well that's differs from what Robert Rodriguez said. "I also wanted him involved in every aspect of the production, including sharing in the directing."

Also in an interview at AICN, he specifically mentions Miller giving the actors direction. I trust his version of the events.

"the DGA would not allow [the credit] since he did not actually co-direct"

You've got the order wrong, which makes me question the source that informed your comment. Robert tried to get a waiver before the film was made not after, and was declined because they weren't a directing team. You can read about it at Slate.

I see you have a passion for film, but you do yourself a disservice by not doing a little research to inform your writing.

Ok well it seems that I may have been misinformed, I stand corrected.
