The Spirit

I can give you 3 great reasons to see this movie - Sarah Paulson, Eva Mendes, and Scarlett Johansson. If that does not work for you here are 2 more reasons - Gabriel Macht and Samuel L. Jackson.

Now, if you don't like graphic comics or the movies made about them, you won't like this movie. If you liked Sin City or 300 or such, you may like this one. I did. And, here are a couple more reasons to watch the movie - Paz Vega, Stana Katic, and Seychelle Gabriel.

This movie does a great job of giving backstory along with the current story. And it even sets up the sequel with a funny twist. Again though, if you don't like this sort of comic, or novel, or movie, don't expect to fully appreciate all the little subtleties. Every part is over-acted, every line is intense. That is how these stories work.

If you go into this with a fun sense of humor and a playful mentality, you may really enjoy yourself. Find a character you can relate to get into it.

Watch this with someone who likes fast women and pretty action.
