"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 ... read more

A disappointing movie

When I first heard about this flick, I was rather excited since I really loved 'Sin City' but later on I heard all the lukewarm critics so I wasn't dying anymore to watch it but still, I thought I should give it a shot. And indeed, the end result is rather disappointing. First of all, the movie has some rather visually impressive sequences but then, some other scenes just looked downright embarass... read more

Description: Adapted from the legendary comic strip, THE SPIRIT is a classic action-adventure-romance told by genre-twister FRANK MILLER (creator of 300 and SIN CITY). It is the story of a former rookie cop who returns mysteriously from the dead as the SPIRIT (Gabriel Macht) to fight crime from the shadows of Central City. His arch-enemy, the OCTO ... (more)

I Thought You'd Be Bigger: Part 2 (50 movies items)

"Sin City did quite well at the box office, and fans loved it, it currently has an 8.2 rating on IMDB, and this having the same creator and director, looked like a continuation of the brand. It turned out it was a more thinly written, bland rip-off. Prediction: $70-80mil. Actual: $19,806,188."

"15th of December, Digibox Tässä on malliesimerkki siitä, miten kukaan ei ole seppä syntyessään, tässä tapauksessa todistettiin se, että Frank Milleristä ei ole ohjaajaksi. The Spirit on alusta loppuun ripuloitu tekele, joka matkii Sin Cityä orjallisesti ja toivoo, että kokonaisuus saa jotain merkittävää aikaiseksi. Pelkkä silmiä hivelevä ulkokuori ei riitä, sillä Sin Cityn nähneille tämä ei tarjoa mitään uutta. Hyvien näyttelijöiden uhraaminen moisen roskan takia on h"

Failed movie franchises part 2 (62 movies items)

" Note: The Spirit is a pretty cool character, but this movie was terrible. Most comic book movies made after Spider-Man, try to start a franchise and they failed. The movie was both a commercial and critical failure, so thank god that happen. The Spirit is one of the wortst movies I have ever seen and I'm glad that no sequel was made! "

Worst Movies I saw in Theaters (60 movies items)

" I walked out the 15 minutes before it was over. I hated how silly and over the top that this movie was. Nothing in the movie made sense, I found it even worst then Batman & Robin (1997). It made so angry that I spend a free movie pass to see this movie while I could have seen something much better. "
