'The Spirit' is Looking Really, Really Bad


From iwatchstuff, Though I've still never picked it up, I always hear how Will Eisner's The Spirit is a groundbreaking, must-read comic series for anyone at all interested in the medium. That information directly contradicts what I'm seeing in this fight scene that was shown at Comic Con, which paints The Spirit as a slapstick comedy with more getting-hit-with-objects-for-comedic-reactions than Home Alone. Also, it takes place in a sewage nebula? Just watch it.

I thought The Spirit trailer shown before The Dark Knight looked awful, a complete mess.

I thought the same thing when I saw it online, then had hope when I saw it on the big screen. After watching that scene I'm not feeling good about it.

Yeah, God, that clip is terrible. This is going to be a big fat bomb.
