Trivia:

Goofs:
Incorrectly regarded as goofs: The soles of The Spirit's signature Converse-style shoes switch back and forth between black and white. This is intentional and matches how Frank Miller would draw the shoes. When the bottoms are featured, they are white. Otherwise the shoes are black on black.See more »

Spirit was marketed to be the next Sin City or 300 which makes you think of hardcore action not quirky humor or PG-13
What most people hate about this movie I found awesome
Yes, one liners were cheesy. Yes, Samuel Jackson is in every movie ever. Yes, the acting was over the top. Yes, the film looks like Sin City. Yes, I loved this movie. Its so bad, its good. The one liners, the acting, and the style all made it feel like the comic strip.
The plot was a little thin but they had the back story catchup so you still get the whole movie experience.
The only major downfall I see to this movie is the PG-13 but thats why the DVD will be amazing.
You will know if you love/hate this film within the first 10 minutes so go see it and if you hate it, walk out fast so you get your money back.
