The Spirit

[megamania]

Has anyone else seen the new commercials praising the film? Oddly, the quotes all seem to come from the same guy. And it's not even from some small newspaper, but a website.

I thought, "Oh, that's not good." So I went to wikipedia and checked out the "Reception" part of the film's entry and found this:



49 reviews and only 7 were positive? Yikes!

Looks like Frank should stick to Comicbooks.......

 

[Hand of Evil]

The movie should have been rated R like 300 and SIN CITY, by going the PG-13 route I feel they held back the 'spirit' (pun) of the movie.

I would not call it bad, just not as good as it could have been and it was all the director fault, this should not have been Frank's first film, I know, he was a co-director with Robert Rodriguez on SIN CITY but Robert Rodriguez has 11 movies under his belt. Frank is a freshman and it shows!

Eva Mendes, my bunk!

I can't wait for the Razzies! I wonder how many Razzies this will win!

There were worse movies out this year.

Case in point: Delgo.

Well, the original source material was published in the comics section of Sunday newspapers, so I think excessive gore or sexual content would represent a pretty major departure.

Though from what I hear, Miller goofed that up anyway.

...Hancock...

Except that Hancock was a really good movie, superhero or otherwise. The acting from the three leads alone elevate it above the majority of summer blockbusters.

Holy crap on a stick I didn't realize how bad this was going to be. I haven't been this annoyed at having watched a movie since Happily N'Ever After. The only real bright spot here is Eva Mendes' butt and while that's nice and all it serves as a poor bright spot for a movie. This derriere's appearance, though disappointingly brief, was sadly the most convincing portrayal of the whole mess, showing a breadth and depth untouched by the other actors.

Roger Ebert of the Chicago Sun-Times said, "There is not a trace of human emotion in it. To call the characters cardboard is to insult a useful packing material".

That's gotta be one of the best "review snippets" in a long time.

That, my friend, is a quality movie review blurb. KUDOS!
