Review: "The Spirit"


Seen on: December 26, 2008
The players: Director: Frank Miller, Writer: Frank Miller, Cast: Gabriel Macht, Samuel L. Jackson, Scarlett Johansson, Eva Mendes, Sarah Paulson, Jaime King, Paz Vega
Facts of interest: Based on the graphic novels by Will Eisner.
The plot: After returning from the dead, former cop Denny Colt battles crime in Central City as the Spirit.
Our thoughts: I was really looking forward to the big-screen adaptation of Will Eisner’s graphic novel series “The Spirit,” but what I ended up seeing didn’t fulfill my expectations at all. Frank Miller’s solo directorial debut should have been an amazing ride, but in the end, it’s nothing but a boring mess that looks great but fails to entertain.
