Spirit Movie Fight Scene
Man, this Spirit Movie is one helluva a train wreck. And I still can't decide if I hate it or love it. Acting's about Showtime Porn quality. Visuals don't know if they should be hyper-real or b-movie cheese. Characters look super dull and monochromatic.
But I keep going back to watching bits of it. And the leaked fight scene from SDCC is so ridiculous that I like it.
Jerry accurately mentioned that comic book movies try to over compensate the silliness of the medium of inspiration by doing this pseudo-sophisticated look. Spirit feels like it's trying to embrace the comic-book wacky that other films fear... but is still holding onto some weird pretentious sense of sophistication.
Check out the youtube video soon, 'cause I'm sure they'll take it down in the next 24 hours.
You can also see a quicktime version of the new trailer HERE.

I'm just appalled that Frank has allowed this to be called "Frank Miller's The Spirit". He would have agreed to that a few years back when Eisner was alive. Maybe it's a good thing if it turns out to be a pile of dung, though.

I have to admit, I've been kind of transfixed by this as well. The pieces like that last still look so retardedly shitty, but I can't help but crave MORE MORE MORE!
