He quit his membership in the Directors' Guild of America for Sin City so that Frank Miller would receive directorial credit on the picture as well. Not many directors would have done that, so people should admire him for his work ethic and his kindness, even if they're not fans of his work.

He only produced Predators.

Joss Whedon and Steven Soderberg or whatever. His movies are boring.

Mann films suck at pacing
