The Spirit

It's just two days before my college starts and I will need to be back in Nilai again. Before leaving, I would just like to hang out with my friends and enjoy the remainders of my holiday so I went out to the movies with them. The day was bright and shiny until this movie came up and covered our day with gloom and despair. I'm not overreacting or what so ever but this movie is really that bad. Seriously, overall it can be compared to our local movie "Cicak Man" which I think is an embarrassment. I cannot believe they even came out with "Cicak Man 2". I mean like who WATCHES these films anyway, the film is a JOKE.

Anyways, back to "The Spirit", before watching the movie, I though it would be nice with all the advertisements going on so I felt maybe it was OKAY to watch after being adviced that it was a boring movie. This movie is about a guy who came back to life, becomes the Spirit and protects his city against villians. Lets make it short, this movie does not have a heart and soul. You do not really feel the characters in the movie and the worst part is when "The Spirit" himself keeps talking and whining about himself. It kind of reminds me of the later part in Mr. Beans Holiday where one guy premiers his movie and keeps replaying and rewinding it. You'll get what I mean if you've seen that. Back to the movie again, I found The Spirit himself being someone who needs "help" because he seems a lil off with his character and also very obsessive with his city, calling it his "mom", his "lover", and other stuffs. It was not a great movie for Samuel L. Jackson as well playing the "Octopus", however, there is still a lil bit of light to be shed on this movie with some hot chicks like Eva Mendes and Scarlett Johansson doing a decend job and also a few laughters here and there makes this movie somewhat okay in the end.

Overall, this is a terrible movie and I will not advice anyone to either watch it, buy it or even download it other then if you need a helping hand to get yourself to bed. I would certainly categorize it as one of the worst movie of the year.
