Highly entertaining with many great lines by Samuel L. Jackson. A very unique film that may not be up everyone's alley. If you want to see something a little on the odd side, this would be it. |

A bit over-the-top to the point where it was cheesy. The dialog sucked for the most part but the action was pretty interesting. Overall, nothing great and probably best if you wait for the DVD. Samuel L. should probably stop acting. |

Not worth my time |

This movie just kind of started in the middle of a story, a story most movie goers wouldn't be familiar with . . . Batman can start in the middle the spirit cannot. The movie was too cartoony for me and I like things that are a bit cartoony. The movie did not have enough character or plot to keep it going. I didn't care about the characters at all, which made the movie almost unbearable to watch. This is a superhero movie in the vein of Dick Tracey, which sticks to much to the format of comics. Really there is no reason to see this movie. |

Not enough good to overcome the bad. |

Unlike Sin City, which layered impressive visuals with an engaging, smart and fast-paced story, The Spirit doesn't have anything as remarkable to fall back upon. This is due in large part to the participation of adaptor/director Frank Miller (who is on his own here after assisting Robert Rodriguez on Sin City). The film takes the stylized neo-noir look of Sin City and marries it with the campy tone of the ’60s Batman series. As expected, it doesn’t work out very well.
The lead character is played by Gabriel Macht. As a result of something that happened in his past, The Spirit is made invulnerable. He can be wounded or injured but his body regenerates very quickly. The same can also be said about his nemesis, The Octopus (Samuel L. Jackson). The Octopus wants unlimited power and it's u... |

No soul, and certainly no spirit |
|
It's hard to believe that Frank Miller, an indelible contributor to the classic Sin City was responsible for this gloriously over-stylized clunker of a film; a punk-assed version of DIck Tracy with no soul. The characters are void of personality, the voice-over narration and dialogue is cheesy and distracting and the casting is limp at best. Samuel L. Jackson wretchidly glories in his role of a criminal mastermind who likes to dress up in Nazi garb and spout laughable threats. Avoid this like poisoned mistletoe. Final Grade: D-

I can't add much to this, but I will say this: The Spirit sucked. That's hard for me to say because comic-movies are one of my guilty pleasures! However, Scarlett yawned her way through this as much as Jackson overacted through it. It was just a confused cast with a bad script. |

Over half the people who watched Snakes on a Plane went solely because of that line! And that line was awesome! |
