"...truly a mess. Fans of 'Sin City' and '300' will populate theaters for the film's opening, but box office will fall quickly. The film's campiness might then pull in a different sort of aficionados -- those who celebrate films such as 'The Rocky Horror Picture Show' for their silly acting and overripe dialogue." - The Hollywood Reporter
"Frank Miller’s solo writing-directing debut plunges into a watery grave early on and spends roughly the next 100 minutes gasping for air. Pushing well past the point of self-parody" - Variety
"Okay, Mr. Miller. Let’s get it on." ..."You clearly don’t have any idea what you’re doing. Someone, ANYONE, over at Lionsgate should have known this. F**k, it’s their JOB to know this. But they didn’t." ..."Folks, this movie is that bad." - AICN
"I won't bore you with too many details or jokes because my job is to inform you on the quality of a feature, not do stand-up comedy. 'The Spirit' is a film that no matter how bad it looked or how bad I heard it was I still went into with an open mind. I wound up getting my mind blown and not in the fashion I like. This film is a complete mess from frame one and not even worth the film it was recorded on which should be burned immediately to save the participants from further embarrassment." - Latino Review
