Those of you who actually keep up with the updates will know my opinion of the Spirit.
I love the comics… absolutley brilliant stuff, and without a doubt one of my favourites.
The film?…. well that’s what this rant is for. It’s NOT a review…. it’s just one big assed rant.
THE SPIRIT:-
Yes…. ladies and gentlemen, this is The Spirit. Now it may look pretty bad ass, but to a die hard comic book geek like me, it looks nothing like what i had hoped for. The comics were bright, colourful and very tounge in cheek in the whole style of things. This movie, just looks like Sin City 2, but it is nowhere near the brilliance of Sin City. This film is fuzzy, and full of dull colours. Now that that’s out of the way, let’s begin the real review
STORY:
IF you could call this a laudable and developed storyline, you are most likely a twat. This story is absolute BULL SHIT. I swear, i’ve not seen a movie this stupid for a while, but then again it’s Frank Miller (Who’s just gone completely insane since All Star Batman & Robin the Boy Wonder). Anyway, the story goes that Denny Colt is killed, and becomes The Spirit who fights for justice in the shadows of Central City (*COUGH*batman Ripoff!*COUGH!*). anyway, the Octopus (Samuel L. Jackson) is after the Golden Fleece from the old story of Jason and the Argonauts, meanwhile Sand Saref (Eva Mendes) is after the sword of Hercules or Heracles or whatever, she keeps changing the name. Either way, this movies storyline is total SHIT. It knows what it wants to be, but it just doesn’t do it!
CHARACTERS
I love the Spirit… i absolutely adore the characters from Commisioner Dolan, his daughter and hell, all the bad guys (and girls) are great fun characters. The thing that works is the fact that they’re taken seriously, but in an absurd way. Sand Saref is the kind of girl next door, you know the one that your mum would introduce you to, despite turning into a thief. Really, the Spirit was a very feminist comic, the women could handle themselves, the men could handle themselves but were never truly as interesting as the female characters (I had a total crush on them as a kid).
The movie’s characters however, are about as 2d as a piece of paper. If Will Eisner, the creator of the Spirit, were still alive i genuinley think he would be devistated at the usage of his characters… sure he hadn’t made a comic of the Spirit since the 50′s, but i still think he had some connection to the characters. You really don’t have ANY idea how bad the cast were in this movie! Even Samuel L. Jackson was terrible in the film. Hell, he dresses up as a Nazi in one scene, and it’s for NO FUCKING REASON! He doesn’t even make a reference to Nazism later in the movie. That’s just how stupid some of the characters were!
FINAL COMMENTS
If you love incredibly stupid movies, like Ecks Vs. Sever, Alone in the Dark and all that sort of bullshit, you STILL won’t like this film. I swear, i went to see this and when i walked out i didn’t hear a single worthy comment of this film. Genuinley, this film is total bull shit, quite possibly the worst movie i’ve seen ALL YEAR.
Ladies and gentlemen, this is the true Spirit:
And this is the bullshit that Frank Millar comes out with:
God fucking damn it…
FINAL RATING:-
out of *****
That’s right. NOTHING! That’s how shit bad this movie was. It was insanely poor. Just don’t watch it, save your money, keep it in that account to actually do something that’s worthy with it, like buying a gun that shoots lighting and bees at people….
