Catch ‘The Spirit’ Trailer While You Can
The trailer to the upcoming The Spirit movie is set to debut at Comic-Con, but earlier today it leaked out early.
While it’s been taken down just about everywhere (including one of its last homes right here at Film School Rejects), reviews of the trailer are, well…
I am not sold on this movie just yet. I dig the concept, I loved the comic and I am also a fan of Frank Miller’s work, at least the kind he does on paper. This however, isn’t doing it for me. The dialog sounds awkward, the effects seem forced and over-the-top and I don’t know if it is going to be anything but another excuse to go heavy on the use of green screen to make a “innovative” comic book flick. I am wondering whether this will end up on the Sin City side of the spectrum or the Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow side. At this point, it is still too early to tell for sure.
What he said.
The Spirit isn't Sin City so it shouldn't be treated as such. Miller should've filmed Sin City 2 and left The Spirit to someone who actually knows what he's doing.
Wonder which side – Sin City side or Sky Captain side – the reviewer consideres the *right* side…

Never mind. It's just the teaser with 7:45 of black screen after it…
I think it looks cheesy. It looks too much like Sin City and I agree, the dialog is cheesy. I think this movie was a bad idea to begin with, I just cant see it working.
