The Spirit

January 11th, 2009 Filed under: Movies, Reviews | Tags: Movies

I had great hopes for this movie. The film is based on the newspaper comic strip The Spirit by Will Eisner, and is written and directed by Frank Miller. You know the guy that did Sin City. Frank Miller has decided to use the same art direction as he did with Sin City, which makes for good viewing, but I think the story was lacking a bit. I left the cinema entertained, but thinking it could have been better, there was something missing. I haven’t read any of the original comics, so I don’t know if this is something just the movie is missing or something the comic was missing all along. Either way if you enjoyed Sin City then might as well check this out.
