The Spirit A rookie cop (Macht) returns from the dead to fight crime from the shadows of Central City. His main opposition is a former lab technician who has reinvented himself as The Octopus (Jackson), an elusive criminal mastermind who knows the secrets behind his nemesis.

While we still don’t know if those Sin City sequels will ever get made, how cool is it that Frank Miller has moved on to directing his own projects after learning the trade alongside Robert Rodriguez? Sin City’s enduring popularity and influence, combined with Iron Man’s success (which proved that a lesser-known comic-book character can resonate with general audiences) has helped position The Spirit as a potential holiday-season hit, not the frost-bitten confection it was threatening to become with that nasty original release date of January 2009. The question on our mind is: If we’re moved by The Spirit, could Samuel L. Jackson (a.k.a. The Octopus and, just maybe, Nick Fury) find himself immersed in two different comic franchises?

Rated PG-13 for intense sequences of stylized violence and action, some sexual content and brief nudity.
