The Spirit - Review

| loading

Sin City meets Batman (the campy 60′S TV series.) There’s even a reference to Robins ass in the film. First off let me tell ya that The Spirit doesn’t suck, as a matter of fact its pretty entertaining! A campy over the top (superhero origin film) that takes the superhero element and twists it into a uber dark-deco vs high tech tale of dead ladies man cop vs super campy mastermind (Unbreakable 2 on Acid).

Set in the same exact style of Sin City, the dark cinematography is stunning, as well as the awesome casting. The story sets out to tell the tale of Denny Colt, (Macht). He’s the “Spirit”, a cop that came back after being killed, and who now possesses “Wolverine” type healing powers. The entire film is narrated by the “Spirit” as we follow him (and his curious cat) along to Central Cities , Mud Flats. Its here that he meets up with “The Octopus” (Jackson). After this (awesome battle!!!), we find out that Octopus knows the secret of the Spirit’s healing abilities.
