Review: The Spirit

Posted by Ali at 21:16 on 03 Jan 2009 Reviews A-Z

There's no question Frank Miller's graphic novel Sin City - and the subsequent Robert Rodriguez movie adaptation - glorified violence. In Miller's own adaptation of Will Eisner's '40s superhero serial The Spirit, he's guilty of glorifying something else: tits. Rather than swing with Sam Raimi's light and frothy Spider-Man movies...

Went to see this at my local cinema, but it was closed. After reading some reviews I think I was lucky ...

"Ryan Reynolds"

Ruined since Scarlett Johansson and... that's about it.
Now he's all, ick, married. Do I not like her.

Something, something about The Spirit, something.

I know the reason you want to see this Olson. Two reasons: Eva Mendes' left butt cheek and Eva Mendes' right butt cheek. They make a cute couple.

Yeah, I had no illusions about it being gritty or dark or whatever. I just thought it looked like it could be kinda fun, but I was afraid that maybe it was just dull. Definitely going to check this one out at the budget cinema.

If you go in thinking it's going to be absolutely terrible, as I did, then it's not so bad. I think a lot of people really wanted it to be the new Sin City but it's much more like the original Batman series in tone: it's camper than Milletts.

I know this looks pretty terrible, but I still want to check it out, if for no other reason than it looks different. I did have high hopes when it was first announced, but now I'm just hoping for an interesting failure.

I saw a trainer for this. It looked awful.

How you make it do that?

Posted by Luke at 00:32 on 05/01/09

Hot damn! Who likes films? I do.
