The Spirit (12A)

I know I am way late with this response, but I only just saw The Spirit. Come on guys, how can anyone who has an open mind find this film a sad depiction of a graphic novel? You have completely missed the point and I recommend you stick with watching mainstream movies that push no technical boundaries. You poor bastards. Better luck next life. Btw my IQ is well over 131.

I do enjoy watching film adaptations of comics even when they seem to meander through the plots and focus to heavily on the style of shots however I couldn't have expected this film to be as bad as it was. I've sat through bad films just to find out what happens in the end but eventually all I could do was laugh halfway through the film at the irrelevant screenplay. Word of Wisdom, if it's a couple of people who can't even watch the film through then maybe it's them, if it's near everyone then it's probably you. By the way I did not know that you had to be intelligent to enjoy watching a crap film. It's a boring feature length monologue crammed with poor special effects and over stylised camera shots.

I watched this movie last night, and today went online reading reviews in hopes that somebody else could offer an explanation as to why this movie was ever made. It was so perfectly completely bad that there wasn't even anything laughable or interesting in it's badness. That's a feat - I'm having trouble thinking of any other movie that was so blandly poor that was all bad without crossing into the territory of "good-bad". What an utter waste of time.

I have admired Scarlett Johansson - her natural beauty and her natural charisma, but her role in this movie actually made her seem repugnant. Ha! Impossible you say, thats how bad the movie was!

The biggest shame here is that the movie shared nothing in common with the Will Eisner strip in terms of style, tone, look and feel, and violence level. The original strips are well written, designed and constructed. They were subtle and the COLOR DESIGN was great too. I guess I am getting on in years. But I cringe to think that a generation of young people out there think of this movie as the main representation of "The Spirit." What a mess. Why was Frank Miller chosen for this project?

this is the worst flim i have every seen. it was on unbearable in fact i walk out on the movie thats how bad it was.

i really enjoyed the film. however i can see its not for everyone. in short its not your classic superhero movie. expect a comic book, on screen. basically, thats why its cheesy somtimes, and perhaps things don't go in convention with "normal" films. if you go in with a compleatly open mind, you may not find it horrific. but as i say, clearly not everyones cup of tea.

Word of Wisdom, I have an IQ of 131, I still found this film complete drivel. Role Models is a film that doesnt pretend to be anything other than silly toilet humour, and doesn't try to be anything else, its funny at parts but lets face it, is never going to win an oscsar. This film however has no redeeming features, apart from when it ends. That was a relief. I can only guess that the people positive comment work for the films production/promotion team.

this film is awesome best film ever hands down

..."crude, overhyped fanboy favourite ‘Sin City’" - Ha, what!? Sin City is anything but crude. I think the technical grand prize at Cannes knocks that one on the head Mr Huddlestone!
