Editorial Review:

Above shadowy, crime-infested streets a masked avenger watches. Denny Colt (Gabriel Macht) was one of Central City's finest cops until a gangster's bullet ended his life. Now Fate has brought him back from the beyond as The Spirit, a street-hardened hero who faces off against seductive foes like the voluptuous Sand Saref (Eva Mendes) and the alluring Silken Floss (Scarlett Johansson). Then, of course, there's his evil archenemy, The Octopus (Samuel L. Jackson), with a mission to wipe out Spirit's beloved city as he pursues his own version of immortality in this graphic action-thriller.

Not for everyone, but a lot of fun:

A lot like a Frank Miller comic, The Spirit wont be for everyone. The first time I saw it, I wasnt sure if I liked it or not. There are alot of things about it that are actually what like to call "smart funny", it wont crack you up but its VERY clever and well written. The women in the Spirit are very much like their inspiration in the original Will Eisner comics.

comedy hero action movie:

Again I am amazed by the artwork that went into this type of movie. Black and white animation combined with some color and partially scenes using real actors requires an enormous amount of new technological advance in art. After watching it 3 or 4 times I finally understood who the Spirit's girlfriend was -- the city. I always thought the country and nature to be beautiful and could not understand how anyone could think the city was beautiful to some people. I guess one becomes accustom to that which one... more info

an awesome ride of a movie, just be sure you know what youre getting into:

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.

Haven't been able to watch for "technical" reasons...:

I haven't been able to watch this in my apartment because of the sound. I wish I could say something about the quality of the movie, as I heard its' good. But, the way the sound is mastered makes it unwatchable in my apartment. Dialog is really quiet, but the sound effects are ridiculously loud. I have to turn up my surround sound system significantly to hear what they're saying. A gun gets fired or some other special effect happens, and it makes a blast loud enough to scare my cat and piss off my... more info
