"The Spirit" Spoilers... If you Care

If you are at all interested, here is what Frank Miller told the italians today in Rome. Seems like a lot of people are trashing this one, but I usually prefer to allow a movie into the theater before I condemn it.

Our thanks to Andrea and BadTaste.it for the info. Head on over there for the full article, but here are the spoilerish scenes from the movie that they saw...

...Then, we saw a few scenes of the movie. Some of them (the fight between Octopus and Spirit, Sand Saref underwater) were already shown at Comic-con, so you know what I'm talking about. Instead, I haven't seen reports (but maybe I'm wrong) about these sequences:

  • Spirit answers a phone call. A man tells him that there is something happening in the swamps and Octopus is involved. Spirit jumps on the roofs, while the voiceover talks about the city. Then, he saves a woman and tells her she can trust MacReady in the police. It's an interesting scene, but I don't like too much the acting of the woman and the policeman at the conclusion, which seems absolutely fake.
  • We are in the laboratory and Octopus is working at a clone of him. Unfortunately, the experiment failed and there is a foot with an head directly attached on it. As obvious, his fate will be very sad. Frankly, I can't understand why the shoot an awful scene like this and, above all, why they're showing us, considering the other stuff it's not so bad as I thought.
  • The most important scene we have seen occurs when Spirit tries to arrest Sand Saref (we've seen a part of it in the trailer, when Eva Mendes' towel slips from her body). She doesn't recognize him, but he speaks about her past and about the fact she was a good girl once. Moreover, we can also see the corpse of Sand Saref's husband, who committed suicide (at least, that's what she says). This scene is full of clichés, but it works, even if it's diffucult to consider it very original. Anyway, we see briefly Eva Mendes' butt naked, so I can't say it's not an interesting scene :-)
  • The last scene we've seen is similar to the first one. There is Spirit on the roofs and he says that his real weapon is the city. It proves it when beats two stupid henchmen, even with the help of a snowball (as Miller said, this must be the first time a superhero uses a snowball as a weapon). Then, he meets Scarlett Johansson's character, who seems to kiss him, but in fact makes him an injection on his neck...
