Ok... I am ready for your hate my brothers and sisters.
I enjoyed the Spirit.
I even saw it..........TWICE!
My ex-wife owned a comic book store and I thought that the Spirit comics looked like the most boring pieces of shite I had ever seen... until I read them.
Now Frank Miller does go a wee bit darker that the O.G. Spirit Comics were, but if he stayed completely faithful to the source material (which he did for a majority and everybody and their mom panned him for it) the movie would be Adam West Batman silly.
Go back and read the comics and see the overtly silly Character's, the spirits man-whoring and silly dialogue, the ruthless and "comic" beatings he took and you will see that Frank Miller's "The Spirit" is really the best you could do to dress up a weird and wacky character from way back when for modern audiences and is as close as possible to Will Eisner's original Spirit.

Ok, go ahead be mean damnit I am ready for your onslought.

P.S. Frank Millers "The Goddamn Batman".... Batshit Crazy Yo!
