Review of The Spirit (2008) by Sun K — 13 May 2010

Story in a nutshell...boy meets girl, boy loses girl, boy becomes city's hero and sets about to fight the evildoers where he finds his girl again.

All of the acting in this was very flat. I felt nothing for any of the characters and the comedy that was introduced fell flat. I found myself looking at the clock to see if it was almost over, hoping that it would somehow pull itself together but it never happened.

Now, the movie itself is beautiful. Costumes are great and I really liked the way they film maker played with the colors to portray the gritty city and it's inhabitants but it is truly a shame that this was wasted on this film.

HOT GIRL ALERT - Jamie King, Eve Mendes (like the cat suit) and Sarah Paulson were all nice to watch wander thru this movie but Scarlett Johansson is by far the beauty in this one. All of these beauties were not enough to save it for me.

So...was it supposed to be a comedy, action, super hero, drama? We may never know because it never really takes shape. I give it a 2 out of 10 and say skip it...you are only wasting your time.

Enjoy!
