[quote][b]WOLFEN (12/28/2008)[/b][hr]He said at Comic Con that this was going to be Will Eisner's Spirit, not Frank Miller's Spirit... So as usual, he's full of it. Unless the previews, and commercials are wrong, and its all a snow job, he's showing FM"s version of film noir.

I can wait for the dvd...if that, but this is not Will Eisner's Spirit.[/quote]

Jeez, did he really have the nerve to say that? How much further from [i]Will Eisner's Spirit[/i] could this get?

I'd say, as a completely random movie devoid of any comics reference, it looks pretty mediocre. As a movie based on The Spirit, it looks rotten.

Not so much as burned out, as it is that the unitiated will think "WOW! another Miller hit!..."

Those of us who know better, see it for what it is, Sin City light.. He said at Comic Con that this was going to be Will Eisner's Spirit, not Frank Miller's Spirit... So as usual, he's full of it. Unless the previews, and commercials are wrong, and its all a snow job, he's showing FM"s version of film noir.

I think comics are the new wave for action movies, this one should do well.

Used to be tough selling a comic as a movie, but with better tech it makes the comics universes come alive. Some (like Captain America) will still be tough to adapt to the silver-screen, but most others will be so much easier. Take a look at 'The Watchmen'... that should be an awesome movie, but couldn't be done right 15-20 years ago. Same with Iron Man.

Why? You think everyone is burned out from DK and IM? It is a great concept, maybe not up my alley, but the previews look decent.

Now I can validate my statements... thanks Earl!

[quote][b]Acolyte (9/29/2008)[/b][hr]Frank Miller needs to flip through a few Will Eisner books before letting this movie out to the public. It just soooooo screams Sin City II. It doesn't look anything like The Spirit... [b]I'd really write what I feel but the site doesn't use crappy see-through black boxes. If they did it'd be more fun[/b]... :)[/quote]

Too bad to....we could sell you on ebay :)

Anything by Miller is worth a look after recent works .. both Sin City and 300 were excellent movies imo
