Matcollis This Movie Can Only Be Described With One Word.

StyleSk8r At first rather annoying in its heavy emphasis on reenactments, this movie ultimately proves fascinating, simply because the complicated, highly dramatic tale it tells still almost defies belief.

Donald Seymour This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.

Ortiz Excellent and certainly provocative... If nothing else, the film is a real conversation starter.

soonertoad There are lots of truly bad movies. This is one of them. It has no production values. It has terrible acting. It has a weak script. It was an obvious rush job made by incompetent filmmakers.It seems like they had heard about film noir , but had not ever actually seen anything from that genre. None of these things are a crime.The true evil comes from the lying scumbags who gave this movie good reviews. No sane person could actually recommend this as a good film. Only someone with a malicious desire to waste other people's time would try and convince anyone to watch Sparks. You stole 97 minutes from me.I believed you and you abused me in return.

AlanTHoleman This movie is a welcome addition to the superhero and film noir genres. The depth of characters and detailed plot lines leave the viewer satisfied yet wanting more. After an initial viewing, I immediately wanted to watch it again. There is much to take in and absorb which, to me, has always been the sign of a great film.Chase Williamson was spectacular as the brooding Ian Sparks. By the way, I think "Ian Sparks" is my favorite superhero moniker ever. It is so fun to watch brilliant actors such as Clancy Brown (Shawshank Redemption), Jake Busey (Starship Troopers), and the wonderful William Katt (Carrie). They help drive this film with their familiarity but also with new twists.Sparks is a graphic novel brought to life. It can be dark at times and continues in the tortured superhero realm. However, this film also has great humor and snappy dialogue that set it apart from other superhero movies. I definitely recommend this not only to fans of noir but to anyone who appreciates a fun, smart film.

markbarner I can't believe how lame and almost childish this movie and the lines are! The visual effects are such a disappointment and the story, scenes, sound is just not worth wasting time on. At first I thought they style of the movie was pretty cool - the colors and the old school color grading was interesting but as the effects and most of all the lines where so bad that it then it ruined everything for me! It looked a little like Sin-City but that just isn't enough to make a good movie.Don't waste your time with this movie - it's not 5 stars worth watching and as it seems childish it's still too violent for children to watch. Too bad it could have had potential.

zif ofoz Sparks .... an odd film .... and I understand why many people trashed it ... but I loved it !It's like watching a 21st Century independent film noir interpretation of mid 20th Century Hollywood grade B or C studio film noir. And they did a good job of it too. If you have any experience watching the old studio police drama's or hero flicks you will understand.All was thought out thoroughly from sets to costumes and accessories (like the hypodermic syringe) even the camera angles. What I liked most was the actors delivery of the script. Somebody did their homework on this style of movie!And there is a distinct message at the end! Just because someone or some organization presents themselves as being an authority doesn't make them good people. We see this in the fundamentalist evangelical Christian minister who murders many and later when the policeman who tricks Sparks into committing a crime!
