Review of The Spirit (1987)

By Jordan Burchette (7) for Premiere Magazine (318) on 30 Dec 2008

Not charming, but not cynical, The Spirit is wholly unrecommendable, but made with greater care than many movies that are…

Review of The Spirit (1987)

By A.o. Scott (2,100) for New York Times (5,786) on 29 Dec 2008

What is most striking about The Spirit is how little pleasure it affords, in spite of its efforts to by sly, sexy, heartfelt and clever all at once…

Review of The Spirit (1987)

By Jeff Vice (1,455) for Deseret News (Salt Lake City) (1) on 29 Dec 2008

As one of the film's characters might say, there's bad. There's really bad. There's ridiculously bad. And then there's The Spirit bad…

Review of The Spirit (1987)

By Jason Heck (36) for Kansas City Star (1,573) on 29 Dec 2008

The style dazzles, evoking everything wonderful and terrible from film noir and combining it with a likable hero and wonderfully pulpy premise…

Review of The Spirit (1987)

By Graham Killeen (120) for Milwaukee Journal Sentinel (1,693) on 29 Dec 2008

I'll take the ghosts of Christmas past, present and future any night over this year's spooktacularly puerile, woefully bad holiday action film…

Review of The Spirit (1987)

By Colin Covert (1,936) for Minneapolis Star Tribune (2,416) on 29 Dec 2008

It's not easy to make a thriller that's both incredibly convoluted and intensely boring, laboriously narrated yet befuddled, but Miller --…

Review of The Spirit (1987)

By Nathan Rabin (1,078) for AV Club (2,778) on 29 Dec 2008

The Spirit feels like the follow-up to Batman & Robin no one wanted…

Review of The Spirit (1987)

By Mike Russell (146) for Oregonian (1,550) on 29 Dec 2008

The Spirit is a loony, embarrassing mess that takes the late Will Eisner's classic comics creation and beats it senseless with a giant toilet…

Review of The Spirit (1987)

By Carina Chocano (358) for Washington Post (9,851) on 29 Dec 2008

Good comic books suggest action through abstraction, but The Spirit plays like an overproduced diorama…

Review of The Spirit (1987)

By Stephanie Zacharek (2,333) for Salon.com (2,725) on 29 Dec 2008

Miller seems to have brought neither his brains nor his heart (both of which we know he's got) to this project. The style is willing…

Review of The Spirit (1987)

By Peter Hartlaub (620) for San Francisco Chronicle (7,630) on 29 Dec 2008

Throwing your $10.25 down a storm drain is a better idea; at least that way you won't feel the added self-loathing of wasting more than an…

Review of The Spirit (1987)

By John Beifuss (1,947) for Commercial Appeal (Memphis, TN) (1,944) on 29 Dec 2008

The Spirit' conclusively demonstrates that a comic-book auteur may be no more a natural filmmaker than a basketball player is a ballerina…

Review of The Spirit (1987)

By Linda Cook (1,442) for Quad City Times (Davenport, IA) (1,206) on 28 Dec 2008

All show and no go, The Spirit is a great-looking film with a less-than-memorable story…

Review of The Spirit (1987)

By Andrea Chase (1,182) for Killer Movie Reviews (1,182) on 27 Dec 2008

Misguided attempt to blend the hard-boiled cop story with a goofiness that doesn't quite catch the requisite exuberant abandon of camp…

Review of The Spirit (1987)

By Eric Melin (822) for Scene-Stealers.com (667) on 26 Dec 2008

Movies that exist in their own overheated genre-iffic world are not easy to swallow for a lot of audiences…

Review of The Spirit (1987)

By Scott Weinberg (1,998) for Cinematical (752) on 26 Dec 2008

Someone should have gotten Robert Rodriguez on the phone…

Review of The Spirit (1987)

By Daniel M. Kimmel (1,403) for Worcester Telegram & Gazette (604) on 26 Dec 2008

it's a visual feast, with every image lovingly framed and lit (and mixed with special effects) so that there's always something interesting…

Review of The Spirit (1987)

By Diva Velez (291) for TheDivaReview.com (290) on 25 Dec 2008

The Spirit is an aesthetically lovely, self-indulgent, disjointed mess of a film about a superhero, who, like this movie, isn't all that super…

Review of The Spirit (1987)

By Jimmyo (378) for JoBlo's Movie Emporium (1,959) on 25 Dec 2008

I don't mind the humor, I would just appreciate humor that actually works…

Review of The Spirit (1987)

By Steven D. Greydanus (674) for Christianity Today (953) on 25 Dec 2008

The Frank Miller Universe at its most reductionist, self-parodying and content-free … There is nothing at stake … only a pointless, shapeless…
