Miller has -never- directed a movie before (co-directing doesnt count!). Sin-city, 300 were his comic creations
(and lets not forget that 300 borrowed pretty heavily from the original history and script itself itself, and from what I understand cut out masses of Miller’s bloated script).

Robocop was also miller’s graphical creation I believe (although he apparently felt he didnt like their translation of his film).

Robocop 2 & 3 – he wrote the script (and assumedly grapics for?) – and they blowed, badly…

This is the first time some fool decided to let him and his ego (and boy, its a biiig one!) free on the set…
and boy, what a mistake it was…!

As for that fantasist above who thinks that Miller will direct Batman 3.!?

Miller will be lucky after the ashes of this film (which I predict will crash after the word gets out!) to ever direct anything ever again…(and he will -never- get his name again as ‘co-director’, what self-respecting director would want his direction advice, or their name sullied with his??).

and if he does’nt want to destroy his career totally, he will stick to writing comics and being artistic advisor (or whatever) to films…

This is a career changing film…and its without a doubt Miller’s swan-song as directtor in the same way that Battle-field Earth was Travolta’s…!

And yes, it really was THAT bad..!

The graphical style was awefully (like a very, veryyy bad clone of sin-city), the script so bad you just wanted the actors to shutup, the soundtrack weak and pathetic (when it was even audible) – which didnt even mask the awefull dialogue…the casting of the lead role unbelievably woefully, the plot – what plot?? the action? even that was woefull. I have to mention the script again…
does Miller think that people mentioning the same inane lines again and again throughout the movie is high art..??

I should go on but suffice to say that for the first time in decades I and my date were both looking at our watches and wanting the torture that was “The Spirit” would end..!
Some folks walked out, I wanted to, but my girl didnt want to admit we’d wasted 20 bucks so badly!

I was very curious about one thing…did’nt Frank Miller ‘co-direct’ Sin-Sity, and was’nt he ‘heavily involved’ with 300..? (mind you, he apparently also wrote the scripts for Robocop 2 & 3..!).

The only conclusion one could draw from this film is that Miller had zero true directorial involvement with SinCity beyond writing the cartoon & graphics (and approving the decisions of the director), and with 300, he was did even less.

It also makes me think that the title ‘co-director’ with real directors and wanna-be’s is meaningless (perhaps it might have some meaning with ‘The Hobbit’ – Who knows?). Real directors spend years refining their craft on smallerr low-budget movies before they risk the big-time…and boy does this pile of excriment make that obvious why…!!

Miller should stay to writing commics, and leave the films to the real-boys..!

Worst film in living memory…

AVOID!!

Transformers blows!

And so does “The Spirit,” which this post is suppose to be about. I’m a huge Frank Miller fan, but even I couldn’t recommend this. I’ve seen a screeing of it and I really have to say that it’s a big mess.

but seriously i have no desire to see the spirit
