there seems to be an immense amount of hate for this movie, i cannot understand why. this is no sin city, granted but there is still a lot to love. it is a visceral, over the top, stylized and violent. the director holds nothing back, everything is over the top with layers of CGI above that. a guilty pleasure to be sure, and a wild ride, just dont come in expecting a serious movie.

Based on the bombardment of negative reviews that have plagued Frank Miller's adaptation of his idol Will Eisner's The Spirit, I was expecting possibly the worst comic book adaptation ever made. Well, The Spirit surely isn't that (at least in my eyes), but it's far from being anything quite good either. For me, The Spirit falls somewhere in the middle, between being intentionally campy and unintentionally funny. Gabriel Macht stars as former cop Denny Colt, who was killed and mysteriously found himself back among the living. Fighting crime as the masked vigilante known as the Spirit, he soon finds himself uncovering a plot by his arch nemesis the Octopus (Samuel L. Jackson) while re-discovering his lost love Sand Saref (Eva Mendes). In between all that are a variety of women played by Sarah Paulson, Jaime King, Paz Vega, and Scarlett Johansson; all of whom provide ample amounts of eye candy. It's obvious that legendary comic scribe Miller learned a thing or two working with Robert Rodriguez in bringing Sin City to the screen, as The Spirit is wonderfully stylized and rendered, but is plagued by an inconsistent script that doesn't know if it wants to be gritty or campy. Macht is stale in the title role, while Jackson is clearly having a blast and chews up his scenery. All in all, it definitely isn't something for everyone, but for what it's worth, Frank Miller's take on The Spirit is worth a look for comic fans, albeit it offers little for everyone else.

I remember seeing the trailer for this film and telling myself that I had to see it. Unfortunately, I was warned early on that it was hot garbage and not worth the [...] bucks at Harkins. Now that it's out on BluRay, I figured it was worth a rental. Turns out to be a well spent couple bucks! The movie had excellent cinematography and beautiful women. 5 stars in that regard. Had to knock it down a little though due to a subpar script. overall, the movie wasn't bad, maybe a biproduct of low expectations. Worth a rent to see if you want to buy it. if you're into the comic book genre or stunning visual effects, definitely worth a buy.

I hardly know where to place this movie. Sci-fi or fantasy, or is it in a style of its own? I saw the movie, yet weeks later I cannot remember much of it. The action was minimal. Read more

Strange but cool
I like this movie, just not enough to give it five stars. The acting is decent and the plot is just strange, but if you can get if for under ten bucks then why not. Read more

An Awful Movie
I thought this movie was going to be a good movie because I like Sin City, and this movie had the same artistic style. Well, it's not a great movie at all. It's awkward. Read more
