The TV Addict 

I know a lot of people are excited for comic legend Frank Miller’s directorial debut on his adaptation of Will Eisner’s THE SPIRIT. I was too for a while, until it seemed like all he was going to do was rip off the style his co-director used on SIN CITY. This trailer doesn’t help matters. Yes, SIN CITY was cool enough (if disturbingly misogynist), but that association isn’t going to give THE SPIRIT a reprieve from me. It just seems like lazy, insecure filmmaking to me. Maybe I’m also biased because I think the style Darwyn Cooke used on his recent run on the re-launch of the comic would be much better suited for a film adaptation.
