The stylistic quality of The Spirit was over-the-top good, but most of the acting and all of the writing were the pits! Samuel L sold his part, but every phrase brought giggles to the audience. The voice-overs were cheap Raymond Chandle-esquire ripoffs - hasn't anyone figured out WIT is the backbone of campy take-offs? Chandler, Hammett and all the rest wrote WELL - they've only become clichés because they were so good - this script could've been written by a rather boring high school student. Eva Mendes did well enough, but the other actresses either 'emoted' or were so wooden they looked like the girlfriends of the screenwriters in the worst high school play ever put on.
and then they were Nazis?!
the entire audience asked, 'Why?" during this scene. in fact, audience participation - of the sort the movie makers would NOT enjoy - was the only thing about this movie that was at all fun.
honestly one of the worst movies I've EVER seen - Ed Wood would've done better.
