I'll admit that about halfway through the film I started enjoying it for the hilarious atrocity that it was. You just have to ignore that it was supposed to be a Spirit film.
I thought Frank Miller, being a comics artist himself, would have some genuine respect for Eisner's work but he completely raped it. Either he's a complete bastard or he's batshit crazy. Or both.

Oh my god was it not The Spirit we know and love. Fuck you, Frank Miller, I hate you so goddam much.
If you ever find yourself reading the criticisms at the bottom of the movie's wikipedia article, know that they are 100% correct.
I was attending a high-school reunion. My school is filled with geeks. We watched this movie in the theater. We all laughed.
This movie is SO bad, it's awesome.
