Teringer An Exercise In Nonsense

Dynamixor The performances transcend the film's tropes, grounding it in characters that feel more complete than this subgenre often produces.

Celia A great movie, one of the best of this year. There was a bit of confusion at one point in the plot, but nothing serious.

Candida It is neither dumb nor smart enough to be fun, and spends way too much time with its boring human characters.

generationofswine This hurt. Spawn was a really cool character, well, he still is. He was a character for the 90s and...it was really the 90s that killed this movie.It tried really hard to look like the Crow, which was also an unbelievably 90s film, but one that worked well with the look that certain movies in the decade had.Spawn just didn't. It wasn't really suited, it didn't really match and the result was a big...meh.But the thing is, now they are remaking it and...Spawn as a character doesn't really fit today very well either.There is a time and a place for Spawn, and, like Maxx it was the 90s and MTV, but not the big screen and not today either.

bentheimpaler In many ways, this film is as tragic as Spawn's own backstory. As mentioned above, the actors are beautifully suited to their roles. Particularly Michael Jai White and John Leguizamo in the leading roles. Everyone breathes a real life into one of the greatest comic series ever written.The story, on the other hand, is unbecomingly light-hearted for Spawn. Perhaps they were worried about the movie being to broody, but if that was the case, they grossly overcompensated. Some of the most emotionally pivotal scene of the opening comic issues are instead played for laughs here. It isn't Joel Schumacher's Spawn, by any means. But the out-of-place gags can take you out of the story when the horrid CGI doesn't. The make-up, costumes and practical effects are honestly breathtaking, but that and the strength of the actors alternates from helping you forget that you're watching the generic cola of Spawn, and highlighting all that now seems even weaker by comparison. In short, it's a lukewarm movie at best. With good points and bad in equal measure. I can't recommend it as such, but it is an interesting study in "so close, and yet so far".

Ilikehorrormovies So yeah I got done watching this movie and I found few problems. That damn clown in that movie is annoying thank god he got killed at the end. The make up is good but the CGI is bad like a PS1 cut scene. I wonder why this movie is the most forgotten like no one talk about it. The visual are good like it remind me of Hulk (2003) but without the comic style just a hellish type. Not the best movie but it's enjoyable.

jessegehrig Spawn sucks, did you see my summary? It's like right above this part. Spawn sucks, here's why- The comic book isn't that great, then they made a movie based off that comic book; if a movie is the gutless version of a lame-ass comic book you know there is a bag of dicks about to be sucked by you, the viewer. Spawn sucks, here's why- John Leguziamo. His portrayal of the Clown/ the Violator is so profoundly sh*t, just big piles of sh*t, it physically causes pain to watch him as the Clown. Why did the director encourage this performance? Was no one able to stop Mr. Leguziamo like once he got started? The cascade effect? Also, did you read the IMDb summary of the movie, a page back? That plot sounds so stupid, is that what happens in the movie? Full disclosure: I've never been able to watch more than an hour of this awful movie so I don't know how it ends, but I can live with that, easily.
