No Spirit Here...
While i was very excited to see this movie and has been waiting the whole year to see it, i have to say this is the WORST movie i have seen in quite a while. Yes the style of the film is cool, but the acting and story are GOD AFWUL!!! DONT EVEN RENT THIS!!!

Whoah! How much more CAN you love your city?
The spirit appears to have a rather disturbing affection to his city, noting her wrinkles and smoothness. Still, he seems to get every woman, no matter how inanimate! I mean really, is it possible to attract that many people? Then again, it cannot be hard seeing as the city was just a backdrop, with only a few inhabitants. The streets were bare, and no one seemed to notice the CRUEL VIOLENCE HAPPENING IN THE STREETS! Tha acting was wooden, the scenes were bleak and terrible and... Samuel L. Jackson! I love his acting! What could have pushed him to this? Mabye those insideous eggs he keeps blabbering on about. This is a terrible and violent movie, with nudity and blood. I can say if you are a fan of the Spirit comics, prepare to be blown away! And no, not the way you may think.

under-rated
might be in black and white kinda but it isnt the average superhero movie. bloody and kinda of brutal. like the part when the octopus explodes and his rib flies into the wall and a chunk of meat falls off the rib. pretty bad sexuality. and violent gunwise. but what the hell!!!! it was a great movie i loved it!!!!!

Don't listen to the critics...this is a great film
Every so often, there's a movie that most critics (supposedly) hate, but is a really good film. The Spirit is one of those types of movies. The people who've reviewed The Spirit probably don't know who Frank Miller is, and if the reviewer does know, (s)he doesn't know that this was his directorial debut. If you liked Sin City, no doubt you'll like this film. In terms of content, I think this film was pretty close to an R. This was pretty violent for a PG-13, with shootings, stabbings and lots of blood; however, this movie's in a film-noir style, so the blood looks fake. There are graphic scenes of a severed finger and a ribcage, though. There was also quite a bit of sexual content, such as when Sand makes multiple copies of her butt, throws one of the pictures at someone, and says the person made an a-- of himself. I was laughing pretty hard at that scene as well as The Octopus dressed as a Nazi (but in a humorous context). Other than these issues and a few uses of "godd-mn" by the police officer dude, this is a great movie.

Funny
I have never read the comic book but the movie was funny and action packed. I don't agree with the age meter because there is mild sexual talk and violence. But the violence is comical and not serious and bloody. You do see a woman's butt and her bare frontal silhouette. (She makes copies of her butt on a copy machine which is funny.)

Good comic book adaption film
This movie was good. the action scenes were very stylized. also this film had very funny parts in it. the violence was pretty bad for a pg-13 film. it had a bloody scene in it. the actors/actresses did their job like they were supposed to. the only main problem with this film was that in didn't show the city enough. overall, the film is enjoyable to watch. the action scenes are great. some dialougue was cheesy, but that's how it is supposed to be. frank miller, well done.

A movie only for action fans
It is quite a good movie, for people who like action, but there are some action scenes, brief nudity and sexual content which isn't age appropriate. The style of the movie is pretty good, but the acting is ludicrous. Personally I also found this movie quite slow in the begining.

This is just the worst movie ever. I watched the first 5 minutes of it and decided i hated it. I don't recommend this to anyone.
