January 3, 2009Take "Dick Tracy", mix it with "Batman", add in a little "Sin City", and you got one hell of a fun movie, with Sam Jackson giving the wildest and most hilarious performance as the Octopus.

October 5, 2009If U watch this movie think, of it as a comedy and you'll enjoy it. I thought it was good cast in a funny movie. But you have 2 watch it 4 Eva's Perfect ass!!!! HOLY SHIT!!!

October 4, 2009A pretty decent comic book romp in the same graphic style as Sin City. Unfortunately any similarities end there, despite a strong cast this fails to pack a punch. I didn't know anything about the comic book and you have to wait halfway through the film to get any idea of the char...( read more)

July 25, 2009It reminded me of Sin City, but it wasn't nearly as good. This movie was long and kinda drawn out, and there were a lot of dumb lines in it. I lost interest about halfway through.

July 23, 2009Didn't expect much of it in the first place, so I can't say I'm disappointed.
A movie filled with one-liners, the story was lame and boring. -

February 7, 2010This wasn't a very good movie at all. Having seen Frank Miller's name as director I thought it might be like Sin City and although the visuals were the same that's where the similarities ended. The storyline and acting was dreadful with Samuel L Jackson hamming it up big time as ...( read more)

February 6, 2010awful - the acting is dreadful, the style is bearable, the plot is rubbish, and the script is pretty poor

February 4, 2010Divertido e tudo mais. Mas Eu não gosto muito dos quadrinhos de antigamente e da comédia de antigamente.

What is most striking about The Spirit is how little pleasure it affords, in spite of its efforts to by sly, sexy, heartfelt and clever all at once. full review

Colin Covert, The Minneapolis Star Tribune
It's not easy to make a thriller that's both incredibly convoluted and intensely boring, laboriously narrated yet befuddled, but Miller -- creator and co-director of Sin City -- triumphs on all counts. full review

The style is willing. But the spirit is weak. full review

Claudia Puig, USA Today
The Spirit is uneven, but its campy adventure provides some amusing, escapist fun. full review

Steven Rea, Philadelphia Inquirer
Maybe if there was something going with the dialogue -- snappy Chandlerisms, say, or even just sentences that made sense -- the fussy digital artifice of The Spirit wouldn't seem so, well, dispiriting. full review

Liam Lacey, Globe and Mail
What a shame that The Spirit isn't nearly as good as it looks. full review

Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times
There is not a trace of human emotion in it. To call the characters cardboard is to insult a useful packing material. full review

January 2, 2009Great movie,some people will not like it and some will love it.Everybody has their own taste.

December 30, 2008Although not a family-friendly based film,i can see this becoming the young person's sin city....for those not old enough to watch a great artistic,cinematic piece this is the next best thing.it's offering the younger viewer's something new other than your traditional based animations and your live-action heroes...miller is trying to interest the young in the hope that the future of the comic genre is in safe guard for years to come....so i don't blame him for trying!!!
also i like the style and use of the limited colours on screen...i cant wait to get this on dvd the colours are going to be awesome!!!! -

July 15, 2008This is either going to be really, really good, or really, really bad- I can't figure out which. I guess I'll just have to go see it and find out...
