The Spirit Is Willing, But the Dialogue Is Weak
Despite the above article title, I have to say I find this second trailer for Frank Miller’s The Spirit to be far less awful than the first. Sure, there are a few corny lines of dialogue (none worse than when Sam Jackson calls him “El Spirit-o”), but not the onslaught that was featured in the last trailer, and other than, say, the entire look of the film, it’ no longer looks quite as much a late night Skinemax parody of Sin City a la Alabama Jones and the Busty Crusade. I’m not saying it will be good or at all resemble Will Eisner’s original comic, but I feel less inclined to run over Frank Miller in a truck after seeing it.
