Because Sam Jackson looks like a tool, and the movie seems to cover up having no plot with hot actresses.

Let me preface this by saying I'm a life-long comic fan who never read the Spirit, so I don't have a history of expectations to contend with. I hope it is a great movie.

That being said, I think that on the surface it seems like a semi-lame idea for a movie.

A superhero whose power seems only to be the ability to withstand beatings? A villain who dresses like everyday is a different Halloween party to go to? Any "It girls" you can think of in roles that seem like Bond Girl knockoffs? A seemingly-exact usage of the Sin City filming style?

And in a continuation of an older super-flick trend that kinda sucked... why is the lead character the second bill star? "Superman: The Movie," starring Jor-El! "Batman," starring the Joker! "The Spirit," starring everybody BUT the Spirit!!??

I'll see it anyway, but that's my two cents on first impressions from the trailer and other promotional stuff.

This is the main reason I think it looks like trash. It doesn't resemble the Spirit. It looks like Frank Miller used it as a vehicle to do Sin City 2.

btw, i READ the Eisner comic, and, there WERE some goofy shit in there. Glad Miller's tweaking it a little.

It's not like knowing what you are talking about ever stopped anyone on the internet from having an opinion.

It just looks really bland and up itself.

Releasing on Christmas Day as if people will be dying to see it.

I really have a hatred for people who judge movies before they see them...

It gets on my last nerve, When the movie comes out and you think its shit, then please go ahead and rant on it, but when the movie is WEEKS away from coming out and people judge it just by the trailer, it makes me ANGRY!!!

TRAILERS LIE!!! A trailer can make a bad movie look good, or a good movie look bad!!!
