I just saw the Spirit today and was thinking that it wasn't as bad as people were saying. The scenes when the Spirit goes on patrol are cool, but my favorite thing about the Spirit was that it felt like an old comic book. With the cars, the way people talk, and the all around dective type feel to it. I thought Gabriel Machet as the Spirit was a good choice and every else seemed to have fun with their roles.
However some of the dialoge was at times silly and Samuel Jackson as the Octopus wasn't that good. Over all I'd say the movie is good and I would recomend it to any comic book fan.
I rate the Spirit 6.5/10
