It's a big joke but after the first hour it just gets boring. I already knew it was a bad movie so I had fun with that but is nothing like Sin City from Miller and Rodriguez and honestly is hard not to compare movies about the same theme and with visual effects so similar to the other. It can say it's almoust a copy but a bad, really bad one.

"She is the love of my life. And I am her spirit." Prior to helming The Spirit, a screen adaptation of Will Eisner's comic book series, Frank Miller had scripted the woeful RoboCop III and had co-directed the extraordinary Sin City (with Robert Rodriguez). Merely a few minutes into The Spirit, it's agonisingly clear who the real cinematic talent behind Sin City was. Miller (himself a legend in the realm of graphic novels) directs solo for the first time for The Spirit, and the product is this definitive showcase of what can go wrong if a comic book artist seizes the reigns of a celluloid production. For Miller's directorial debut, the sense of visual style becomes so pervasive that it overwhelms everything else, especially (and most detrimentally) plot. Alas, the eye candy grows stale a...Read more

Reminds us why Frank Millar left movies first time around. Robocop 2 and 3 sucked and just because Sin City did well he thinks he can make movies again, I guess he forgot he had the critically aclaimed Robert Rodriguez working with him!! Not to mention Tarrentino for some scenes too. This film is an embarssement to watch. The dialogue is pathetic and just doesn't work on the screen at all the plot absurd and disjointed and there is just no development going on at all going on, nothing fits together! It made me feel ridiculous for being a fan of Frank Millar which I am a huge one I love all his comic books and the adaptations done to date but this was just pathetic and I really tried to like it. The 'slick style' it thinks it has is really wooden and badly executed.

''My city, I can not deny her. My city screams. She is my mother. She is my lover, and I am her Spirit.'' Rookie cop Denny Colt returns from the beyond as The Spirit, a hero whose mission is to fight against the bad forces in Central City. Gabriel Macht: The Spirit / Denny Colt The Spirit is Frank Miller's independent Directing response and vision of Will Eisner's comic book series. Using Techniques he learnt from Sin City and 300 he's gone ahead on his own, to create something unique, without any Zack Snyder or Robert Rodriguez at the helm. Yes The Spirit, is completely driven, in entirety by Frank. So what is The Spirit like? Is it good? Yes it's fun and silly, yet in places serious and dark. Is it in the same league as Sin City & 300? Not exactly. Mainly the disadvanta...Read more

Denny Colt, a cop shot to death, then wakes up from the dead not knowing why he lived or how he lived. He then takes his power to proctect central city, his lady. this is what the first twenty minutes of The Spirit is like. this very character driven film which stars Gabrielle Macht as the Spirit, Samuel L. Jackson as the Octopus, Jaime King as Lorlelei, Eva Mendes as Sand Seref and Scarlet Johannsen as a very convincing Silken Floss. the acting is on top and not one character is off by least. this film is very fun and funny. despite what the crittics say these days they seem to be off on almost every movie. The Spirit like it's predecessor sin city is not only entertaining but is very dark and centralized on every character in every way possible. there is a brief cameo from Peter Dinklage...Read more
