You have to consider what the Spirit was in its time and compare its content to everything around it:<BR/><BR/>-Urban decay<BR/>-Lots of violence (seriously... The spirit is shot, beaten, and knocked out SO many times)<BR/>-Strong (and voluptuous) women (have you noticed how Denny eyes every one of those ladies he meets?)<BR/><BR/>But, in contrast to the comics and movies of today, the original Spirit comics don't seem nearly as dark and nearly as violent or nearly as sexy, so relatively speaking, the modern interpretation will (hopefully) be as violent, dark, and sexy as it was to those readers back in the 1940s. If anything, Miller's probably going to up the violence because, hey, he's Frank Miller.<BR/><BR/>I'm slightly concerned about Samuel L. Jackson playing the Octopus, though. I don't think I can ever take that man seriously.Jerry Chanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18319747779371103315noreply@blogger.com
