    I just saw it today, and your analysis is spot on. It was garbage. Comical, but garbage.

    Watch that movie again (if you have already), then watch both the Dark Knight and Batman Begins.... As well as Sin City, Iron Man and Spider Man 2. You'll change your mind about The Spirit.

    Arent they in the process of making Sin City 2?

    I'm gonna go see Spirit today... But I never really read the comics, so maybe I won't be so disappointed?

    I don't make my movie opinions in comparison to other movies. I look at each film objectively. And the Spirit was entertaining. Sure it wasn't the best comic book film out there but it was enjoyable and accomplished what it went for.

    I know this is all opinion base but Spirit was horrible and no where near as good as Punisher.  Punisher had its flaws with the Jigsaw character, but it was still a good movie.

    Spirit just sucked.

    The Punisher was a terrible movie. Though it was hilarious. Which I think was it's goal. I don't think it was supposed to be taken seriously. Neither was The Spirit though. But Spirit I felt was a better movie. But I like absurdism so that stuff really floats my boat.

    No the suit was black or at least it could have been just the filter on the camera that made the suit look black but all and all they stayed true to the character design. I think the actor they got was prefect image wise and character wise.

    how the f%$@ can they stay true to the character design when he's not wearing BLUE.  He only wears BLUE as a costume, unless he's undercover.  Frank Miller should be sued by the family of Will Eisner for basically raping the image of his character.
