I really want this to be good, but from everyones opinion in here, comparing it to the comic, it looks like it's gonna suck. I will see it either way and I don't know the story at all really, so maybe I won't be disappointed. From the trailer, His "Flying" looks pretty cheesy. Like some guy lying on a rig in front of a green screen."Steel-like jaws clacked away, each bite slashing flesh from my body - I used my knife and my hands, and when they were gone, my bloody stumps - and yet the turtles came." -
Ohhh, I'll see it. I never read the Comics,.. so nothing will affect my opinion there..
So far these Miller movies are hit & Miss for me... I liked 300 ,.. But seriously coun't really care for Sin City outside of the Marv Story line.
But I am not jump'in out to the theaters to see the flick,.. it will be DVD for me.... The Original Knight ..., Often Imitated, However Never Duplicated. The 1st Knight in Customs.

Shame on anyone that calls themselves a comic fan that has not read any Eisner Spirit.You must try to generate happiness within yourself. If you aren't happy in one place, chances are you won't be happy anyplace. -Ernie BanksComment

BAH .. I don't need to read the Spirit,.. nore Did I ever Call Myself a Comicbook Fan.
Besides,.. There's alot of stuff out there that Believe that is good,.. & at One time or another,.. People here don't like it either. So,.. Watcha gonna do,.. thats what makes us different.
To be honest, ... I did buy the Spirit / Batman book that came out a few months Back,.. & I dunno, I just thought it was ok. Didn't hate it,.. but just got an ok vibe from it.... The Original Knight ..., Often Imitated, However Never Duplicated. The 1st Knight in Customs.

I just hope it's better than the Sam J. Jones TV movie from back in the '80's. I read a little of The Spirit. One or two issues. a few newspaper strips. The Spirit seems to be a little bit "dated". kinda like Buck Rogers, The Shadow, Flash Gordon...
I'd like to see it on the big screen, but...Shameless self-promotion -

Probably the best and cheapest way to introduce yourself to the Spirit is to hunt the back issue bins for the old black and white Kitchen Sink reprints from the 80s. There've been DC Archives of the Spirit but they're much pricey, especially if you're not sure if the Spirit is your bag or not. And I'd start out by reading the Eisner stuff...you can read the DC updated series later if you dig the concept. The Spirit has a neat supporting cast and some cool villains but the real cool characters are the various femme fatales that float in and out of the series.

If you read the old stuff and go in with the mindset that it's a product of its times, it still holds up very well today. And keep in mind that Eisner crammed more story and substance into his 8 little pages than Miller will do with his 2-hour flick.
If the concept seems dated, try the new DC series...they update and tweak some of the aspects of the series and try to give it a modern flavor.Think OUTSIDE the Box! For the BEST in Repro & Custom Packaging!Comment

BK, the Batman/Spirit crossover thing was not by Eisner. And it was way more than a few months back. Cooke managed to capture some of the flavor of the Eisner stuff, he missed a lot of the subtleties of the original strip.You must try to generate happiness within yourself.

Spirit away from this one folks...
The Spirit Movie Reviews, Pictures - Rotten Tomatoes
See, I already don't like that poster...MY CITY SCREAMS...nothing but pompous and pretentious gooey crap.
Sin City and 300 were not bad...but IMO not great either....the constant narration in both films, plus all that blue screen...gets rather annoying after a while.
Please Mr Miller (in his directorial debut)...your stories are cool...but stay away from directing, lol.

Actually, Hec, that poster is in line with Eisner's design sense. Although it would be more colorful.You must try to generate happiness within yourself. If you aren't happy in one place, chances are you won't be happy anyplace. -Ernie BanksComment

I saw it Christmas Day. It was alright, not the greatest of films. The visuals were pretty neat, but the plot and acting was pretty cheesy.Comment
