Profile of The Spirit

The mood of The Spirit is stylized, rough, and gloomy. The plot centers around superheroes, fighting crime, and good versus evil. It is an action and crime movie. Stylistically, The Spirit has a Hollywood tone, includes a voice over, and stars an ensemble cast. In approach, it is fantastical and serious. It takes place, at least partly, in an urban environment. The Spirit happens in contemporary times. Visually, it is partly black and white. It is adapted from a comic. The Spirit is especially suggested for teens. Note that it includes brief nudity, sexual content, and violent content.

Summary of The Spirit

Apparently murdered cop Denny Colt (Gabriel Macht) returns as the Spirit, dedicated to protecting Central City from crime. His archenemy, the Octopus (Samuel L. Jackson), is a ruthless killer who will destroy the Spirit's well-loved city to find the secret of immortality. As the Spirit pursues his quarry, he meets many beautiful women who would be happy to either kiss or kill him.

I did not like 'SPIRIT'. I imagine there is a story in there somewhere, I just did not see it. It was disjointed, I'm wondering if there was a script. SIN CITY Should not be mentioned in the same sentence as 'SPIRT'. I did not like it, gave it 2... Read and rate it

This movie had alot of potential but from the opening scene it fell flat on its face. I have never read this comic but because of this movie I have no interest in it. It's like an hour and a half of monologues with no destination toward an ending.... Read and rate it
