The Spirit, while filmed in a similar style to the dark masterpiece Sin City, is very different in so many ways. Different, yet great for what it is.
The movie is all out hilarious and is meant to be so. The comedy is great and Samuel L, who I usually dont like, is fantastic as the over the top Octopus. His obsession with eggs made me laugh out loud over and over again.
The campyness, which everyone should have known and expected, was great. I highly recommend the movie to any fan of comic books, Frank Miller or outlandish stories in general. Go see the Spirit, expect it to be funny, over the top, and ridiculous and you will have a great time.
Go see it expecting a serious dark and brooding drama then you will be as dissapointed as others expecting the same thing. It is a great movie and I give it two thumbs way up.
