This was such a refreshing movie to see. Everything from the storyline to the cinematography is unique and stylized. I loved it! The film managed to capture the essence of the cartoon hero and the other characters were fascinating.
The Spirit is not a ghost, but he’s not alive either. His nemesis is the Octopus (Samuel L Jackson). He is a very cool villain, some of his lines and costumes are fabulously quirky and hilarious. The Spirit is also a ladies man and there are lots of lovely heroines and villains in this film. Scarlett Johansson steals the scene in a Nazi costume (one of the film highlights).
Refreshingly different and wonderfully made film. You feel like you are living in the cartoon strip.
Steph’s rating: 8/10
I love this style of movie and in my opinion this is the best yet. The film had atmosphere in abundance and it really works
