Is The Spirit movie really that bad?

[SuperBird]

no. it's worse than that.

 

 

(I just saw it)

[BaltimoreLauren]

Hhaahahhahaa.

 

 

I still think the casting was great, but oh my god, nothing could save that movie. Except maybe a good director.

[SPDREYCER]

I never read the book. Saw the Movie and I really thought this movie sucked

[Claudio]

i am too scared to watch it.

[Bosco685]

Wow! Usually, you see mixed reviews on here. This sounds very consistent, and not good.

 

Thanks for saving me the money.

Perhaps a mute button while making up your own dialogue on the TV or the Mystery Science Theater 3000 treatment could make this film watchable, anything short of that you are looking straight down the barrel of the most excruciatingly painful time I have ever had at the movies. It was closer to a bad trip to the dentist without the assistance of numbing medication.

 

If Scarlett in dominatix-style military gear and a riding crop can't save a movie, nothing can.

I couldn't even watch more than about 20 minutes worth.

Couldn't bear it. And that is rare for me.

me too

[Wally's Comics]

I'd rather stick my nose in a bum's crack than to sit through that again...

 

 

[John A III]

well, wasn't planning on watching it in theaters, but may avoid it completly now

[TheWatcher]

it's horrible, and I'm a Spirit fan

[homerwannabee]

I personally like really bad movies. There is a camp factor that equals tons of fun for me.

I don't think Frank's going to be doing too much work in Hollywood, after this one.

 

[Juswuh]

I lasted about 20 minutes too. One of those films where A, you can see a lot of money being spent, and B, you can't imagine how anyone thought it'd make a profit.

Thank God!

This is exactly what I was thinking most of the time. The little heat-on-foot clone guy scene especially! When Sam Jackson says "This is just weird." in that scene, it's like he's giving a 4 word review of the entire movie.

The Spirit

December 23, 2008

 

by Roger Ebert

 

"The Spirit" is mannered to the point of madness. There is not a trace of human emotion in it. To call the characters cardboard is to insult a useful packing material. The movie is all style -- style without substance, style whirling in a senseless void. The film's hero is an ex-cop reincarnated as an immortal enforcer; for all the personality he exhibits, we would welcome Elmer Fudd."

 

Rated 14% positive on Rotten Tomatoes.

Thank God. I hope he goes into hiding for a while too.
