    I'm getting tired of seeing Sam Jackson in every other movie. I believe without a doubt he's a great actor, but he's not versatile. The movies hes in definitely make a sh*t load of money, but that doesn't mean they're all good movies. Many film watchers go to see a movie just because of the actors or actresses in the movie, but look at Snakes on a Plane for example. People were hyped about the movie before it came out because of Sam Jackson. "OMG Samuel Jackson is starring in Snakes on a Plane, we HAVE to go see it." It's a load of bull. All I'm saying is The Spirit has the potential of being good, but just because Sam Jackson is in it doesn't mean it's going to be.

    I beg to differ with the formular that Juan123(kid) came up with.Sam is a good actor with a great trail of quality films,so your sh*t-headed formular is just not that convincing.

    Haha Sam the man finds his way into every other movie, its too much, are there relly no other actors out there...
    I do want to see this, it looks cool, but I bet it will be more of the same and too much of a look to Sin City to stand alone.

    Holy sh*t Jackson is in like every third film that is made lol
    In this, ehh, but as him being Nick Fury...
    ...not the best role for him, not bad but for one Nick Fury is supposed to be white. The only time he is black is in Marvel's Ultimate Universe. But I still think he will do good, he has the dry *sshole ability to play Fury well though I think
