Usually, any movie with Eva Mendes, Scarlett Johansson and Samuel L. Jackson would signal that a fairly good movie is in the works.  Throw Frank Miller, the writer of Sin City and 300, into the mix and that should signal a fairly awesome move.  Nothing could be further from the truth.

I have had my own series of disappointments in life.  But nothing could have prepared me for this gigantic glob of stinking dog crap.  I genuinely think this is the worst movie to be put into wide release this year.  All the marketing that went behind it, a release on Christmas day and the all-star cast only adds insult to injury.

Without creating any spoilers, I’ll briefly dive into why this movie sucked so bad.  First and foremost, the writing was atrocious.  No matter how great a thespian you have on screen, you just can’t make a stupid line sound good….and the Spirit was full of them.  There were a number of instances where people in the theater were laughing (when they shouldn’t be) because of very silly, juvenile dialog.   Make note, Frank Miller, best known for his visuals, wrote the movie script based off of another guys comic…I’m not even going to waste my time looking up the other guy…it doesn’t matter to me who he is. 

Second, the “Sin City” style filming where they digitally use a lot of reverse black, white and red colors to add “style” to the film was just plain bastardized by Frank Miller.  He took the very best parts of Sin City and made them stupid. 

Third, the plot was just plain ludacrise.   The plot is less interesting then if a monkey wacked off, rubbed his hands in his own shit then rubbed all together against the glass wall at the zoo for all to see. 

Frank Miller does not equal awesome.  Cinderella’s shoe has finally fallen off.  My advice:  Only see this movie if you’re with a bunch of friends, on some serious drugs and want something to laugh at …
