this looks absolutely god awful. i've been of the opinion that Frank went off the deep end somewhere around Dark Knight Strikes Again, but this is the final proof. the man is lost to us now.

This looks awful. No film should be shot entirely over a green screen. In my opinion, it never works.

Okay, i finally caved and watched it..... wow, i really dont like this trailer, or where the movie seems to be headed, at all. and what the hell is Sam Jackson, or any of the characters for that matter, doing. this movie should not be about visual gags and over the top bad-acting-on-purpose humor. it is supposed to have that film noir feel to it with a touch of adventure and crime-drama. This TRULY does feel like Sin City Part Deux

Every time something for The Spirit is put out there it looks less like Eisner.

And Miller has a funny idea of what "a full-color movie" is, as he calls this on his blog.

Seriously? It plays out more like an erotic thriller than film noir. Shouldn't the trailer be centering on the title character, or the villain, and not the peripheral girls? It feels like the technology of this film was wasted on a plotless Sin City clone. How about a trailer that tells us what the film is about. Isn't that the point of a trailer, to sell us on the film's main premise? I'm less curious about this film than I was before. Now all I feel is disinterest.

First of all, aside from the name, this is NOTHING like The Spirit. It's Sin City with Spirit characters. Frank Miller has done groundbreaking work in the comics industry, but he puts out tons of crap too. He utilizes the "over-the-top" to mask the fact that he isn't good enough to do it any other way. The movie looks dreadful.

Totally disagree. I think it looks great. I agree the trailer looks a little poorly put together, rushed for comicon perhaps, but the content looks slick, retro, sin-city meets film noir meets anime. Beautiful babes, Samual L. Jackson, violence and nazis and style. Count be as excited, although I'm rather surprised to see the division over this. Seems likes something Joblo fans would eat up...

"Perhaps I'm being a bit harsh"
Yeah, you are. You talk about over-the-top but you extremely exaggerated the content of that trailer. There really wasn't anything that seemed out of place in a COMIC BOOK ACTION MOVIE BASED ON A GUY WHO COMES BACK FROM THE DEAD. I agree that The Dark Knight is going to set the bar for comic book films being taken seriously, but you don't have to use that as a journalism-crutch to shit all over a trailer for no reason.

For some reason, Frank Miller seems to believe that us Graphic Novel readers, want to see the black and white with detailed colors as the filming media. It was interesting to see it done with Sin City, but to just take another novel and do the exact same thing with it, is very un-creative. A graphic novel could be done in so many other forms that the fanboys/girls would love to see. So I say, common Miller, try to be original with each film!

I think "The Spirit" looks SO overly stylized and SO overly poppy, that it actually looks entertaining. However, I will say (as I think it is irrefutable) that this is not "The Spirit" that Will Eisner would have necessarily wanted. Miller made it his own, but it isn't completely lacking of Eisner's spirit (pun un-intentional). I'll give it a shot, it looks like a fun, trashy flick.

I personally think, from the standpoint of someone who has never read The Spirit OR Sin City, but loved the hell out of the movie Sin City (hence, the average moviegoer), that this movie looks like a blast. It looks sexy, fun, and Samuel L. Jackson looks likes he's having a great time with his role. I think he loves playing batshit characters. Despite what anyone else says, I'm looking forward to this movie.

Miller's gone weak in the writing department a long time ago. The man that created some of the greatest Batman, Daredevil, and, his own, Sin City stories is now over-indulging himself in cinema, but someone needs to remind him he's no Tarantino. He hasn't found a balance between substance and style, something most pros have yet to nail, and it shows he hardly knows what he's doing. He might be having a blast, good for him... but do that shit in your garage and post it on youtube. You're working on the Spirit douche-bag!! Sure, it's just a trailer, but this looks like a sloppy mess.

I honestly feel bad for Will Esiner's soul he's suppose to be enjoying heaven but Frank Miller just raped one of his greatest creation. I could have sworn Miller said this won't look like Sin City what a talentless director. He should stick to writing so he doesn't taint his own career anymore or more esp anyone else's.

They messed up with the trailer. Should have shown some sequence instead, to give us a taste of the story, the tone.
But i'll bet you will all be checking this out in the movies however much you complain now.

this really does look like just another excuse to use the green-screen. Over-the-top stylizing and some rather clunky dialogue in the trailer. Doesn't bode well. Still...Scarlett Johansson. >.>
