The Spirit

DC comics has done it yet again. Frank Miller has too. The acclaimed director of Sin City and 300 tarnishes his name by putting out a movie as poorly done as this one. While watching this movie I felt as if I was on a major acid trip. Gabriel Macht (the Spirit) is over the top and presents an unbelievable character. As a whole the acting is far overdone and the script is cheesy. Sam Jackson's character (the Octapus) is too comicbook like as well as most of the rest of the movie. It was this character that was just too entirely wierd. Scarlett Johanssen is flat throughout the small part that she has and does not help the movie at all. This movie was entirely too over-the-top. There are some neat effects taht help this poor movie somewhat, but they by no means make it a worthwhile film.

Overall grade: D+
