Movie Story
Adapted from the legendary comic strip, THE SPIRIT is a classic action-adventure-romance told by genre-twister FRANK MILLER (creator of 300 and SIN CITY). It is the story of a former rookie cop who returns mysteriously from the dead as the SPIRIT (Gabriel Macht) to fight crime from the shadows of Central City. His arch-enemy, the OCTOPUS (Samuel L. Jackson) has a different mission: he's going to wipe out Spirit's beloved city as he pursues his own version of immortality. The Spirit tracks this cold-hearted killer from Central City's rundown warehouses, to the damp catacombs, to the windswept waterfront ... all the while facing a bevy of beautiful women who either want to seduce, love or kill our masked crusader. Surrounding him at every turn are ELLEN DOLAN (Sarah Paulson), the whip-smart girl-next-door; SILKEN FLOSS (Scarlett Johansson), a punk secretary and frigid vixen; PLASTER OF PARIS (Paz Vega), a murderous French nightclub dancer; LORELEI (Jaime King), a phantom siren; and MORGENSTERN (Stana Katic), a sexy young cop.
Then of course, there's SAND SAREF (Eva Mendes), the jewel thief with dangerous curves. She's the love of his life turned bad. Will he save her or will she kill him?

very boring no humour and not one bit of action
posted by t on Jan 03, 2009i dont care what anyone else says, this movie is not supposed to be some epic masterpiece -- it is made after a graphic novel and i thought it was awesome. campy humor and just a good time, i loved it.
posted by bgriff on Jan 17, 2009Does not include the end title song "Falling in Love Again" by Christin Aguiler, which was the only good thing about the movie.

posted by slow mo on Feb 09, 2009The film was terrible! It had no plot, it was not funny, the action scenes were stupid - they were filming the shadows of a fight next to some dustbins and when it retured to the scene the fight was over. The plot is really hard to follow and who is that random wolman telling us that the end is near? Why is the octopus wearing a nazi uniform!? I hate the terrible acting from the spirit and those silly clone things (why did they not clone someone cleverer!!). The film is way too chessy and actually offended me slightly - it was also incredibly boring and there was no plot at all. Shocking.
