Spawn

D.B. Sweeney, John Leguizamo, Martin Sheen, Mertin Sheen, Michael Jai White

Five years after he was murdered by his own colleagues in a covert government operation, Al Simmons makes a pact with the devil to be resurrected so that he may see his wife Wanda once more. In return...( read more  read more... ) for the favor, the devil requires, in typically Faustian fashion, that Simmons lead Hell's Army for the destruction of humankind. Blessed in life with extraordinary killing skills, Simmons is even more deadly with the backing of his new master and the changling powers he has at his disposal. As he begins to discover and exercise his new strengths, he encounters two figures who direct him to use his powers in order to serve two different agendas. Cogliostro encourages Spawn to fight the devil and become a new champion for humankind, while Clown goads Spawn into continuing to serve his new master and lead the Armageddon.

    Finally watched it again 12 years after I saw it in the cinema. It's just as bad as I remembered it being. The voice-over and lack of violence really harm the dark source material. The make-up is fantastic. Seeing Leguizamo as a short, fat clown is still incredible. Leguizamo is ...( read more)also obviously having a lot of fun and it's his presence that keep this film vaguely interesting. It punches above it's weight with a large amount of poor CGI that now looks even more ridiculous than in 1997. It manages to evoke some camp charm and some successful gothic imagery, which makes it a strange mix between Burton and Schumacher's Batman films. With this and Batman and Robin in one year, it's no wonder that 1997 was the year comic-book movies nearly became extinct.

    I really liked this despite many problems with the film. The look is great, like the comic its very dark, gothic and grim. The rain comes down in sheets and the mist swirls around about the night whilst Spawn leaps around in his fantastic looking 'living' suit.
    The other fantasy ...( read more)based creatures are also really well created, Clown especially....very dark, humerous and quite chilling, Leguizamo played it brilliantly, best thing about the film :)
    Violator is also pretty cool looking in life size model form yet like alot of the film the cgi version is pretty lame and ruins it. cgi is a problem with this film as its loaded with it, everything is cgi and frankly not much is any good. It ranges from excellent cgi on Spawns cape to shit cgi on most other things...hell being the worst with a terrible looking Malebolgia.
    The acting is hammy and in general its very cheesey, this film yearns to be harder and more violent (like the comic).

    Despite that it does have a certain charm which appeals to me, its dark 'Batman' like world with hellish creatures and brooding anti heroes still manages to be enjoyable. Spawn being a very likeable character, Wynn is suitably creepy, Bishop is changed to a female for some reason but pretty hot and with some nice gun/blade action and a thumping soundtrack this is a reasonable film, but I still wonder what it could of been if it was done for adults as it should be.

    Very bad CGI-epileptic fest, Macfarlane should be ashamed.

    This is a movie based off the famous Todd McFarlane comic book. I like the comics of Spawn and the animated series when it was out. But I think they could have done so much more with this film. It was very close to the comics but I found the F/X could have been better. Not a horr...( read more)ible film but just needed a bigger budget to give better effects. Plus they could have made the movie longer to help the story in the film. Michael Jai White was solid as Spawn and John Leguizamo was a perfect chice for the clown. But this movie always seemed to be missing something more to make it a good superhero film. If you were a fan of the comic then check it out. Otherwise you might want to skip.
