Review of The Spirit (2008) by Will B — 31 May 2010

Watching this film I can see why so many people don't like it. It's a comic book. No, I mean it's literally a comic book. It's written exactly like a comic book, the style is very much that of a comic book, and it's written by a comic book writer.

Hence, a comic book. It's sleek, stylish, campy, awesome, science-fiction-y, action-y, and visually stunning. I'm sorry that the film gets less credit than it deserves. If it had been an actual graphic novel, it might have won an award or two, but as a movie the only award it'll probably get is a razzie.

It's sad, too, as I liked the Comic/film style. I would like to see more films like this.
