I’m looking forward to seeing this movie very much so!!!

Well, Mr. Brad Brevet, I cannot agree with you at all. I work at a movie theater and am pretty much a movie fanatic, meaning any conversation a person strikes up with me is going to lead to movies. The trailer for the Spirit is one of my favorites, and I watch it on my PSP all the time (along with Watchmen). In talking to customers at the theater and other people, I’ve never heard someone say they hated it or that it looks like a Sin City knockoff. I think it is impressing people. And, the fact is, it looks like Sin City because it is one of the comics that inspired it. Just look at some images from the comic and you’ll see. And, for good measure, nobody got excited at Comic-Con because that’s an old trailer. They probably saw it attached to Dark Knight 4 or 5 times now.

I think it is a pretty good trailer. While the look of the film is pretty much the same as Sin City, Miller has still managed to make it look a little different. I have never read the comics and I have seen a bad TV film or something years ago about the Spirit, so I don’t know or care much him, but this trailer makes this film a must-see-in-cinema. It could be bad but it’s definitely worth seeing.

Perhaps I should clarify, when I say it isn’t "Impressing Anyone" in the headline I am referring to many folks talking about the film online, not a blanket statement of everyone.

That’s why I said "online fanboy verdict" in the very first line. I do my best to explain myself, but I do ask that people read. This is to say, I am not specifically talking about you.

Umm, they showed more than the trailer at Comic Con. I had to sit in Hall H and write about the footage for this site. And well, the scenes they showed were horrible. HORRIBLE! Admittedly I only saw 2 of the 3 scenes shown (I had to leave for some reason that I forget now), but the third scene shown sounded just awful as the first 2.

As for the trailer, I do admit the song is fantastic. Otherwise the only thing this movie has going for it is a smoking hot Scarlett Johansson.

Oh, well, you shouldn’t be surprised. Fanboys are a strange and superstitious lot.
