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.
