I have no idea what to think of The Spirit, which is the directorial debut of 300 and Sin City creator Frank Miller.  I love Sin City and I love Miller's comic book work (yes, even All-Star Batman & Robin), but I heard so many terrible things about the footage from The Spirit that was shown at Comic-Con that it dampened my enthusiasm a bit.  That aside, I think the latest trailer for the film that just hit Moviefone makes it look like a stylish, over the top, campy good time.  Can you really go wrong when you have Samuel L. Jackson playing a villain called The Octopus?  I think not.  Besides, I'm instantly sold on any movie that includes the line, "I'm gonna kill you all kinds of dead."

Read on to watch the trailer, and weigh in for yourself.




The Spirit will be released on Christmas Day.  I don't think the reviews will be kind, but I'm sure I'll see it anyway.
