Review of The Spirit

The Spirit (2008)
1/10
A total disgrace
14 July 2017
Eisner's "Spirit" is, rightly a comic book icon. The lushly inked originals were full of action, humor and off the wall antics.

Miller has completely lost sight of any of those memes and offers instead "Sin City" lite with a painfully awkward leading man who fails to fill the goofy stuck-on mask of the original.

Jackson's "villain" is a leering "angry black man" lacking motive and style despite numerous costume changes.

The female parts are all decorative but wasted on a horribly underwritten screenplay and lackluster direction. Very disappointing.
