Though I think The Spirit is destined for cult status, it is a bad movie. A really bad movie. Other than the cinematography, there is not one redeeming quality to the film.

Story: Convoluted as hell. Really loses it when Samuel L Jackson comes out dressed as a
Nazi
(Spoiler) and melts a
kitten
(spoiler).

Dialog: Frank Miller really needs to stop writing things. Almost every line of dialog is laughably bad. Example: After The Octopus bashes The Spirit over the head with a toilet he starts to laugh...after 45 seconds of laughing he says "COME ON! Toilets are always funny!"

Acting: Not that bad. The cast did the best with what they were given.

Cinematography: Very Pretty.

Conclusion: Despite of what I have said above...I have to recommend it. Now I only recommend it to people who will sit through a bad movie and laugh at it (MST3K style).

Rating:
Normal people: 1 out of 4 stars

MST3K people: "Oh hell yes" out of 4 stars

Since I love the stylings of Sin City, I HAVE to see this. All comic-book movies have turned out great for me.
 
I'll probably see it just because of all the lovely women in the movie....
