Another new trailer to showcase for you today, this time it’s from Frank Miller’s directorial debut, THE SPIRIT, which is still struggling to look like a legitimate movie for me.
It still feels unfinished. There’s a moment here where Samuel L. Jackson shouts out “Your not making this easy” which sums up the whole thing for me. It looks like an actor on a green screen, with his dialogue and movements feeling forced rather than natural, probably because of the working environment.
That moment’s at 1:20ish.

I’m starting to take a liking to the score and I will admit that the movie looks really cool and interesting at some points but there’s an extremely cartoony feel to it which I can’t get away with. Sure SIN CITY had that aspect to but I think it’s heightened to another level here.
Is this the new SIN CITY or is it more like the new SPEED RACER?
And is Eva Mendes taking off a towel enough to convince you to see this when it opens at Christmas?
One Comment
I dunno about this … To me, the dialogue is trying REALLY REALLY hard to be “cool” and “hard boiled.” It basically is an exact replica of SIN CITY with a less talented cast. Unfortunately for Miller, SIN CITY had the quality of uniqueness on its side that THE SPIRIT definitely does not.
