Agreed.  I know a lot of the people here at f13 are intelligent enough to go see something like this at least.  I'm putting a voodoo curse on anyone who goes to see the Spirit instead (although no curse would be worse than having to sit through that movie).

Better than Oliver Stone's Nixon? I thought that was pretty damn good -- albeit, I know Stone had a completely different direction there. Both versions look like they're playing up how insane Nixon was though.

I wouldn't say insane.  Frank Langella did an amazing job as Nixon, and they really humanize him.  This is Nixon at a low point in his life, and there are times when you want to feel sorry for him, from his drunken phone call to Frost, through parts of final day of interviewing, to the aftermath.
