Frank Miller should stay away from movies.Yes,it was as stunning as SIN CITY.But directing isn't just about visuals.It's also about correcting the errors of the script and this one ended up with a confusing narrative,which actually isn't that big of a deal in comics because you can just go back a page if you miss or misunderstood something.Directing it's also about telling the cast how to act,and he clearly doesn't know how to do it.My main proof is Gabriel Match constantly changing his voice.As for the lame reactions...well maybe that was on purpose...since this is a satire.There are a lot of other obvious errors in the movie(like no one realizing THE SPIRIT's identity with that mask)that mean that Miller,if he wants to be in the business,stick to cinematography.

I give this 5/10.

I put most of the blame on the shoulders of first-time director (or at least first time solo, since he co-directed "Sin City") Frank Miller. Since he also wrote the screenplay, so he's most at fault for the flat dialog and the actor's wooden preformances, just like George Lucas did in the Star Wars prequels.

There was an article on Cartoon Brew last month pointing out how, in the early 80s when feature animation was in its absolute doldrums, a couple of renegade animators tried to do The Spirit as a feature, but couldn't get the financial backing for the project.  More than a few of them--including a number of subsequent Disney legends such as John Lassiter and John Musker--feel they could have substantially changed the course of animation had they been given a chance with it--certainly it could have been more entertaining than this.  ]]> Tue, 06 Jan 2009 14:20:58 +0000 http://www.razzies.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=3360&PID=20171#20171 In the True SPIRIT of Bah, Humbuggery... : True...

You pretty much hit the only two words I could use to defend it -- It certainly wasn't for everyone. I think the way they set about making it look like another comic-book noir movie, and then it turned out to be an action/comedy, made it fail to deliver the movie people expected to see from the marketing of it. I certainly didn't see its failure coming. But even with all that, it WAS something different... More of a manic action/comedy -- something like Lethal Weapon.

I saw Sin City and thought it was alright, And 300 was pretty cool. But when I saw the trailer for this beast, I just thought it looked like stupid junk.

It's a shame I had no interest in going to any movies this past month, because all the movies at my local theater were stupid, unoriginal and, like...Twilight.
