This movie has a lot to show. It's stylish, with a perfect art present in every single scene; it's crazy, with things that you would expect to see only in trash movies, and, at the same time, it is a superhero movie. The combination worked well, but it could be better.
When I finished watching I felt like something was missing, that the movie wasn't completed. More action, less craziness, a stronger plot I don't know, what I know is that I didn't have this feeling after watching Sin City (it's impossible not to compare both movies).
In spite of this aspect, Frank Miller made a great job adapting Eisner's comics. The special effects support the whole movie in an impeccable way. The movie itself is a mixture between an original art and technology. Visually, the results are amazing. Besides, the actors also were flawless, specially Samuel Jackson. He is perfect as the mad bandit that wants to rule the world. Johansson also was great; she is like a mixture of Samuel's craziness and Eva Mendes's sensuality.
Concluding, The Spirit isn't a movie for everyone; it is far-fetched, different, audacious the only problem is that Sin City showed all that years before.
