I disagree. I’ve honestly only read a few of The Spirit comics, but was initially very interested in a film adaptation when I first heard about it. This trailer just looks like Sin City 2. Don’t get me wrong, I’m excited for another Sin City film, but The Spirit is not Sin City. It is somewhat impressive that Frank Miller is seemingly handling this project so well for a first time director (since I can’t imagine that he was in charge of a whole hell of a lot on Sin City), but at the same time I can’t help but feel that the one and only reason that the movie looks like it does is because Miller hung around the set of Robert Rodriguez’s film. Seriously, why did Miller decide to make The Spirit in this style other than that’s all he’s familiar with? I can’t think of another reason. Sure, the red tie is a recognizable symbol of the the character, but in my mind the blue suit is just as important as the red tie to identify The Spirit, and it seems that Miller is losing that aspect of the character just so he can make another stylish noir film. I dunno. This movie could be great or it could suck, I’m willing to accept either possibility, but however it turns out, the fact that Miller is making the film in this style turns me off. It made complete sense for Sin City since the comics are black and white with bits of color, but that visual style is just not synonymous with The Spirit in my mind.

I disagree. I think this movie looks pretty good, but the voice-over is like somebody doing a Frank Miller-impression/parody. “MyCityScreams.com” ? Give me a fucking break.
