I think that’s possibly the funniest, most concise, and to-the-point movie review I’ve ever seen. I may have to adopt it for myself, always, of course, giving credit to “thatguy.” Thanks man, you made 7 people watching the movie almost piss their pants laughing.

Movies that bad aren’t supposed to look that good.

And Spirit (comic) fans, did anyone else notice that Miller gave the Spirit a super power when it’s pretty well documented that the Spirit has no super powers?

One of my friends is a manager at a local theater here, so my friends where able to watch it for free.

I’m not sure if it was because some of us where tired, or if it was just my group, but we where laughing the entire time. Really though, I think it was more of how watching it you knew that everyone involved was having a great time making it.

True, it was marketed poorly… the trailers and ads made it seem like a very diffrent kind of movie, but at the same time, in the end… I enjoyed my time watching it.

I’m not an Eisner or Spirit fan at all but even I felt that the ads and trailers were an insult. Maybe this is a lesson that misogyny (sp?) and unsubtle storytelling are on their way out, at least when used in tandem?

I read bad review after bad review so I stayed away from this movie. And yet, with such bad word of mouth I am a little curious. Maybe it’s so bad it’s funny? I’ll wait until I can get it on Netflix.

A friend of mine was telling me yesterday that it did worse than the latest Punisher movie, which was pulled after 2 1/2 weeks.

This is disapoointing news. I am a big fan of both Eva Mendes and Scarlett Johanson. Such fine…actresses…deserve to be in something that shows the public their…assets…in a positive light.

For those who don’t know, check out Woody Allen’s “Match Point”. It has nothing to do with comic books, but aside from being a suprisingly good thriller (who knew Woody had it in him?), Scarlett just scorches the screen.

Frank Miller has lost his mind – and not in a good way.

Out of control egos are fun to see implode.

Like Simon said, I felt I was raped while seeing “The Spirit”.

Good because I hate Frank Miller. I think a lot people that saw the ads.
That are not into comics where thinking it was a want be Sin City.

I don’t want to see this film because Miller just raped the magic that was Will Eisner.

I saw it. And Dear God, I wish I could unsee it.
