My City May Be Screaming But It's Not Saying Anything
You know a movie is in trouble when the first five minutes of the flick are an action sequence and you find yourself trying your best not to be bored to tears.
You know a movie is really in trouble when those first five minutes seem like the high point of the movie.
The sad thing is that the 2008 movie The Spirit had enough talented people in its cast that it should have been a lot more memorable than it was. Then again, I always preferred the Capra-ish spirit of some of the original Will Eisner stories that allegedly inspired this flick than the "look, Ma, it's another Sin City remake" approach that dominated this flick. And even if you like the idea of another Sin City remake, I suspect that you're bound to find The Spirit a bit disappointing.
