What the fuck? I actually paid money from my hard-earned overdraft to see this bullshit today. What a joke.
I assumed this would be like a sequel to Sin City in all but name, what with the cast (Sam Jackson and a load of bad-girl eye candy) and Frank Miller's involvement. How wrong I was. This shit is a travesty to the work of Will Eisner, and a fucking embarassment to cinema in general.
I can't believe they actually released this shit. How you gonna turn Frank Miller into a children's movie? Violence that never gets violent, watered-down sexual tension (the chemistry between the Spirit dude and Eva Mendes was pathetic), and some of the worst dialogue I've ever had the misfortune of sitting through. Let me give you an excerpt:
Poorly acted female interest #12: I hate cops!
Poorly acted female interest runs away
Generic High School Musical male lead chases after her and catches up
High School Musical guy: We both know you didn't mean what you said back there.
Poorly acted female interest: I know, it's just... blah blah blah blah blah
Even the group of 10 year old kids in front of us left halfway through.
Settings were non-existent, and the CGI replacements were bland and devoid of atmosphere, the virtual sets clearly saving on cash rather than trying to create something unique (or even vaguely aesthetically pleasing). The only three things that kept me in this movie till the end were 1) Eva Mendes' Ass, 2) Eva Mendes' Tits and 3) Scarlett Johanson's Tits. Shit is seriously the worst movie I've ever seen, and I am officially disgusted with Frank Miller until he redeems himself in my eyes.
Do NOT go and see this movie.
27/100
(10/10 for Eva's Ass, 9/10 for Scarlett's Boobs and 8/10 for Eva's Boobs)
