Full Trailer for "The Spirit" is Back Online (And it Still Sucks)

The Spirit - Header

Our fears from the teaser trailer of The Spirit have unfortunately been answered. What we first suspected might just be Frank Miller offering up a weak imitation of what him and Robert Rodriguez brought to the table with Sin City actually appears to be something much, much worse.

Miller recently denied claims that this film would look like Sin City, and in a way he's right. See, Sin City showed restraint. The Spirit, meanwhile, looks like what you might get if you let a 15-year-old kid with A.D.D. take control of what green screen effects Sin City used. Unsurprisingly, the results are both awkward and unappealing.

Hahahahahah

Really? Really? Hahahahahahahahahaahaahahah.....what is that trailer? I guess the marketing for this movie is make it look as shit as possible and hope expectations are low enough that people might not be disappointed. And I'm really getting sick of the same red ink lettering that is associated with every Frank Miller project (300 and Sin City used it). I'm also over that visual green screen look, 300 didn't really ruin it for me, but after it, I've had enough.

The Spirit of the Spirit

I agree. Strange that Miller was so defensive about making sure Sin City looked exactly like his art style and then he takes Will Eisner (one of the original masters of the genre)'s art and makes it look exactly like SIn City....what the? Where is all of the innovative visual composition that makes Eisner's work unique? Not anywhere to be seen in this trailer. Weak. And the dude that plays the spirit looks like some baby faced sap, not the strong jawed ladies man of the comic. I think all Miller did was ensure that Sin City 2 and 3 will be going straight to video.

Ugh

Looks awful.
