If the rest of the marketing for
The Spirit was as focused and cool as this
commercial that recently debuted over at
Yahoo! Movies,
I think we'd all be singing a different tune. Specifically, I think we'd be
singing the familiar song in the ad.
Granted, it helps that there's a lot less dialogue here
than in the trailers (and I'm convinced that if the movie's bad, it will be
that, not the look of it, that will trip up director
Frank Miller).
The quick editing, a requirement when you're dealing with a quarter the amount
of time you have for trailers, also makes this look better. The question is,
does it make The Spirit look better than it is, or just better than the other
marketing is?
The Spirit, as if you couldn't tell, will be out
on December 25th.

I hope for the latter but worry it's the former.
