Frank Miller's "The Spirit" opens this Thursday, and if you feel you just can't wait to see the movie, here are seven new clips that recently popped up over at Yahoo!

Based on the graphic novels by Will Eisner, the movie centers on rookie cop Denny Colt (Gabriel Macht), who returns from the dead to battle crime in Central City. Samuel L. Jackson plays The Octopus, one of his enemies.

Also starring are Eva Mendes, Scarlett Johansson, Jaime King and Sarah Paulson. Now, I don't know about you, but most of these clips just seem pretty weird to me.

Sure, while the visual style still looks attractive enough, I just can't get over how ridiculous the dialogue sounds. It all seems too rehearsed, almost laughable, and I'm not quite sure if Miller intentionally wanted it to comes across this way.

Anyway, check them out below and let me know what you think. I hope the movie as a whole is better than this.
