Early glimpses of The Spirit seemed a little off-putting somehow and drove many fans to question the potential of Frank Miller's Will Eisner adaptation.
The first full online clips from the Christmas premiere should dispose of any doubt and allow would-be moviegoers to settle down into the grim reassurance that the flick's tag-line should've been, "My City Sucks."
Evidently burdened by a charisma-challenged lead and actresses that Miller allowed to dine on scenery, folks who were hyped up about The Spirit have that last ditch hope of deluded fans -- that, sometimes, though the teaser looked bad, and the trailer looked bad, and the clips look bad, the end result film can actually turn out OK.
Honestly, that never happens. So, I think we're stuck looking for camp enjoyment here.
