As we are in the Christmas spirit, this time not cast your hand. Why, actually, The Spirit also could not be reviewed, since a few tears and the laughter is not boring. But you know that this is a service book, So nothing is not silent.
Frank Miller, who was promoted to the comic book aesthetic subject with Sin City, tries again: Go directly to the director (of a story but not his own), replicating shots of onset and color suggestions. Too bad that the result coincides with expectations. Why are not enough close-ups, details and silhouettes to make a movie. The decor is '30s (we already had quite irritated nell'insopportabile Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow: who knows, maybe we'll talk about) is a bet too easy, and masked heroes who try to emulate Batman, instead svaccarla as Alec Baldwin Shadow Man, we would have filled balls.
Even the Spirit, in fact, though coveted by flower girls - Eva Mendes, Scarlett Johansson, Paz Vega, to name only the most well known - try to copulate with the black heart of the City, not Gotham Central but, falling in love with every alley, or sewer stake rather than accept their own humanity . And the interpreter, which seems to fool the granddaughter of Ray Liotta, certainly does not help. Good thing against him throws a more strong-willed villain, the Octopus of Samuel L. Jackson, now a guarantee of the days of carnival Snakes on a plane.
not know, however, who has designed the script. Throughout the first time clearly seems to be in a movie by Tinto Brass, given the amount of industrial allusive phrases, winks and various itching, as well as, a corollary, some are worthy of a better fate: Eva Mendes you photocopy your butt, Scarlett Johansson (right arm, in fact, right tit, the enemy's) version of sado-nazi, and a stolid fat permanently cloned, tortured and killed. At times, emerges even the shadow of Mel Brooks.
The story, in itself, says little. The Spirit is surrounded by women more or less lost to him since childhood, and for a spell that shares with his enemy (the Octopus said that occasionally the swollen fists or pleasure), manages to survive the most terrifying blows. Should not, however, his alter ego takes possession of the blood of Heracles, the fluid that gives immortality, coveted for reasons of land (read: money), even from his old flame Eva Mendes. Will - for now - on the job, leaving behind many female victims: the fascinating aquatic ghost who claims the soul (Death version of Avion Travel), the doctor who heals the wounds, hoping in vain that he cure her, the jealous dancer in Paris, etc. .. Is closed, of course, with the lone hero leaping between the rooftops of the city, complete with a eulogy on the outskirts of the voice-overs, and a red tie to counter the ridiculous shades of gray. It is a filthy, not even a good movie.
