 Haven't been able to watch for "technical" reasons... October 1, 2009
anonymous
0 out of 1 found this review helpful
I haven't been able to watch this in my apartment because of the sound. I wish I could say something about the quality of the movie, as I heard its' good. But, the way the sound is mastered makes it unwatchable in my apartment. Dialog is really quiet, but the sound effects are ridiculously loud. I have to turn up my surround sound system significantly to hear what they're saying. A gun gets fired or some other special effect happens, and it makes a blast loud enough to scare my cat and piss off my neighbors. I'm not sure why movies are made this way... It really ruins the experience for me.
 Best to have low expectations... September 15, 2009

I remember seeing the trailer for this film and telling myself that I had to see it. Unfortunately, I was warned early on that it was hot garbage and not worth the [...] bucks at Harkins. Now that it's out on BluRay, I figured it was worth a rental. Turns out to be a well spent couple bucks! The movie had excellent cinematography and beautiful women. 5 stars in that regard. Had to knock it down a little though due to a subpar script. overall, the movie wasn't bad, maybe a biproduct of low expectations. Worth a rent to see if you want to buy it. if you're into the comic book genre or stunning visual effects, definitely worth a buy.
 Not ok to rent. August 14, 2009

You know the saying 'it's worth renting but not worth buying', well its not worth renting or buying. The movie was very obscure and did not make a lot of sense.
Worse written dialog in the last 20 years June 27, 2009
Ricardo Sanchez (FL USA)
3 out of 4 found this review helpful
The movie is one great disappointment and a waste of the great talent of the actors due mainly to the dialog and plot. The technical special effects are OK, but they do not save the movie.
In addition, the Blue Ray version seem to be having an authoring problem; when playing in the Sony BDS player, the first time you run it, it gives you an error message that it cannot play the format, it is after a second or third try, The Spirit (Two-Disc Blu-ray/DVD Combo + Digital Copy and BD Live) [Blu-ray] that it actually runs.
Going Down Red Shirt Style June 23, 2009
Jason K. Daniels (Austin, Texas USA)
3 out of 6 found this review helpful
Pretty much everyone is familiar with the red shirts from Star Trek. After decades of multiple pop-culture references even people who never watched Star Trek know who the red shirts are. They're the guys who go with the main cast on their away missions and are promptly killed to show us how dangerous the situation is. In J.J. Abrams excellent new Star Trek film we are treated to an awesome scene with a red shirt. As soon as we see him in the film we know what his fate will be. But the way it is executed is awesome. It's not just your average red shirt fare, no this guy goes out in an eager and spectacular fashion; litterally going down in flames. Yeah, well anyway when I think of this movie and Frank Miller I think of that red shirt guy. A spectacular and unapologetic failure. While browsing reviews on the internet before seeing the movie I really liked how one reviewer put it. He said something like, "The best thing that could be said about this movie is, after this I doubt any studio will let Frank Miller make another movie."
