Page 1 of "The Spirit" -worse than Battlefield Earth?

Early review at AICN says it is.

I started reading that review on AICN earlier and got really f***ing bored, but I got the gist of it. I`m pretty sure though it`s not the `worst movie ever`. And anyway, I think after the Comic-Con footage everybody knew it was going to be an abomination. I want to watch it to see just how bad it is!

It was funnier reading the talkback in which the reviewer was totally slated.

The talkback wasn`t on there when I looked, because that was the first I wanted to see after scanning through the god awful review. :)

I never visit AICN - do all the `reviewers` hide behind nom de plumes? If you`re going to write something like that (boring and self indulgent - I didn`t even read the whole thing) you should at least have the courage to use your real name and stand by what you say.

Ouch. I was more amused that someone on there had a username of Spandau Belly...

I`m sort of depressed by that. I`ve read some of the original Will Eisner strip, and I was looking forward to the movie as the original strip has a lot of humour in it. Then I heard Frank Miller had a hand in it. >:(

I didn`t actually read the review myself, just skimmed through as reviews on AICN tend to be spoiler filled, but it`s sometimes good to get an early idea of how good a film is.

I hadn`t seen the Comic-Con footage either as all I`d seen was hype for it. Surely it can`t be worse than The Happening anyway.

I`ve never actually seen Battlefield Earth either.

Wasn`t a dig at you 1mills, was just saying that the reviewer was just confirming what everyone else had thought. :)

As David said, if reviewers won`t use a real name they lose instant credibility. And they never use real names on AICN - even the official site writers!

I read the talkback - was very funny and the criticism much deserved.

First off, anyone that tries to be clever by using the ancient `rape` analogy is an ass-clamp. It`s not funny now and it never really was, the only reason it amused some was because it reminded folks of how sad and pathetic the people that think that are (hence why that South Park episode was funny).

This film is one of the few that even in the trailers just looks phenomenally awful, as if every shot and each performance is just somehow wrong and off like a 40 year old can of spam.

Mark`s probably heard of this, but it`s an interesting `what if` involving some (now) very respected filmmakers. Clicky here.
