The Spirit

firstly...you have to take into account tht this movie WAS directed by Frank Miller...the writer and director of sin city...

so those fans out there tht love his shizzle...u will love this too...

and iv got to say....im a fan....fo sho :)

THE SPIRIT is ever bit enticing as sin city, with its mainstream actors including

samuel jackson, scarlett johansson, eva mendes, gabriel macht, jaime king, louis lombardi etc

firstly, the cinematography is amazing to watch, just like sin city it follows the dark and mysterious hero/ villian type look, occasionally grasping the affective red (the spirit's tie) and also blue. With an old 1950's time plot within a parallel universe known as central city (aka new york) this film is bound to opperate in the audiences impression of america in the great depression.

our hero, an ex-cop, lives underground with his beloved stray cats, he wears a mask to cover the face tht died years before, and his black hat, black suit, red tie and white shoes make him a distinct and likeable character. along with his hilarious anticts with a villian named octopus (samuel jackson) the spirit (gabriel macht) attracts every woman he meets, and him to them.

"You're in love with every women you meet, Mr.Spirit. You say lovely things to all of us, and you mean every word you say"

after being shot and killed on the job, a doctor (and expremintal scientist with a god complex and overall wish to be immortal) the octopus injects the spirit with a potion (as a trial for himself) that makes him practically immortal, or the closest thing to it.

a few murders into the movie, sand saref (eva mendes) a gorgeous woman and teen sweet heart of the spirit entwines herself deeply in the plot, by stealing a chest containing the contents of which the octopus would do anythign to get his hands on.

the story ends with a massive shoot up between the spirit, the octopus and known associates (silken floss aka scarlett johansson), sand saref and the cops and basicallly you will have to watch it to know what happens, and what the treasure cheast(s) (yes, thts right, its a plural) contain...


:) enjoy

The Spirit rated: 4/5

Down these mean streets a man must come. A hero born, murdered, and born again. When a Rookie cop named Denny Colt returns from the beyond as The Spirit, a hero whose mission is to fight against the bad forces from the shadows of Central City. The Octopus who kills anyone unfortunate enough to see his face who has other plans. He's going to wipe out the entire city.

Powers Boothe

Also I'm proud to announce the Sequel to "300" will be released in 2010 as well, so Frank Miller is going to be a busy man in the years to come, and to make things even more HECTIC he has announced the making of "Sin City 3" to be released some time in 2011.

And that's not even the best part about there being another "Sin City", to all those Johnny Depp fans out there! HE, the man himself has been rumored to star as the main character and ex-NAVY SEAL who saves a young woman from killing herself. The characters name is Wallace but the graphic novel is still in production and we may have a different actor starring our main man Wallace by the time judgment day comes.

But all bullshit aside i can tell everyone that I'm going to be looking forward to seeing "The Spirit" just as much as anyone who enjoys Frank Millers brilliant work!

"An old man dies. A young girl lives. Fair trade. I love you, Nancy."
