Today’s review will be of a movie, “The Spirit” to be precise. If you for some reason haven’t seen it yet then check out the trailer below and beware of spoilers in the review below.
Now I was very excited about this movie don’t get me wrong but at the same time is was worried about Frank Miller’s ability to perform effectively as a director. But no worries there. I did in deed like the movie but It wasn’t as good as I hoped it would be. I was hoping for a serious superhero action movie, I wanted another “Sin City“. But this movie though very similar was also in a category all its own.
It’s filled with lots of goofy dark humor in between the fight scenes, but it fit in quite well with the movie. Casting was great, Samuel L. Jackson, and Gabriel Macht were the perfect choices. Acting was kind of silly at times but it worked for the film. Directing was surprisingly good, special effects worked superbly. The plot felt a little rushed but it’s not as bad as it could have been.
In closing I give it a 7 out of 10. Till next time.
