I couldn't believe how bad this movie was, right from the first scene you could tell it was going to be bad. But I stayed for the whole movie constantly telling myself it will get better yet it never did. The dialogue for this movie was so terrible I have lost all faith in Frank Miller even after his first 2 amazing movies. Needless to say if you liked this movie your literally crazy.
I walked out. This was the first time I walked out of a movie. Very bad.
Frank Miller is not a director. He did not director SIN CITY, or 300. Robert Rodriguez was kind enough to share the directing credit on SIN CITY out of respect, and Zack Snyder was the visionary behind 300. So it begs the question, why did Lionsgate think Frank Miller could director THE SPIRIT? All I know is that poor saps like myself paid 10 bucks to see this abomination in theatres. Please don't make the same mistake I did - do not pay your hard earned money to see this joke! And to the heads of Lionsgate, you should be ashamed of yourself for releasing this theatrically instead of MIDNIGHT MEAT TRAIN - THE SPIRIT is the one that should have gone straight to video. By far the worst film of
Wow...All I can say is wow...just awful.
Quite possibly the single worst film ever made. I am not exaggerating at all when I say that this is 1000 times worse than Catwoman. Unbelievable. I want my two hours back. Sheer torture. Avoid at all costs to preserve your faith in humanity.
Not as bad as a lot of people say, but I think it'd be a better rental than a theatre experience. Visually entertaining, at least.
Will Eisner would be insulted. I think this shows Frank Miller is a hack, and like many have stated he should stick to comics. This is a horrible movie. It had great potential and was ruined by a stupid director.
Contender for worst movie of the year. Take 300 and Sin City, and remove all sense of plot and characterization. Fill the void with 15 minute spans of completely nonsensical extemporizing combined with utterly bizzare imagery and pointless jokes that simply fall flat. This was an unbelievable waste of time.
I just saw this and I can't stop laughing! This has got to be the single worse film ever released into theatres. I almost want to recomend it just so people can see for themselves how bad this thing is, but I know I shouldn't, so just wait for the DVD to come out. Then prepare yourself for the worst 90 mins of acting you've ever seen or will ever see. Frank Miller has tarnished his career with this movie.
I think this is a terrible movie, a waste of time and money... Total waste, really disapointing...
