Trivia:
Dolan uses the phrase "hard goodbye" as a metaphor for death. It is also the name of Marv's Sin City story, written by Frank Miller. moreGoofs:
Continuity: In the scene involving a poster of a diagram of The Spirit and his body (divided into lots of separate sections), it first shows him with no clothes on, and when we see the poster several seconds later he is wearing shorts. moreSoundtrack:

Spirit was marketed to be the next Sin City or 300 which makes you think of hardcore action not quirky humor or PG-13
What most people hate about this movie I found awesome
Yes, one liners were cheesy. Yes, Samuel Jackson is in every movie ever. Yes, the acting was over the top. Yes, the film looks like Sin City. Yes, I loved this movie. Its so bad, its good. The one liners, the acting, and the style all made it feel like the comic strip.
The plot was a little thin but they had the back story catchup so you still get the whole movie experience.
The only major downfall I see to this movie is the PG-13 but thats why the DVD will be amazing.
You will know if you love/hate this film within the first 10 minutes so go see it and if you hate it, walk out fast so you get your money back.
