Spawn wages an inner battle between good and evil as he tries to come to terms with selling his soul and what it could mean for humankind. Despite excellent effects and great potential, Spawn seems to come up short. While White certainly displays verve in his characterization of the twisted hero, he cannot overcome some forced dialogue. On the flip side, the usually engaging John Leguizamo portrays the sinister Violator--an evil monster masquerading as a rotund, weird-looking clown--as an irritating lackey who spews overbearing sarcasm and incessantly banal one-liners. Admitted, many of Spawn's action sequences are fun, and the transitions effectively brisk, but more could have been done to explore how Simmons grapples with his humanity in these daunting circumstances. But if you want sizzling action sequences and digital effects, this film should keep you happy. --Bryan Reesman

Customer Reviews of Spawn (P&S Coll Slip)
Spawn Tight movie!!! I really liked this movie back then when I seen it. Only bad thing I heard was, is that the Clown didnt act as crazy as he normally does in the comics etc. But the Clown was still funny in the movie. Had some pretty good action in it. Wished it had a little more, but was good enough I think. Check this movie out for sure, you should like it. I dont know whats up with the bad reviews but I thought this movie was pretty good. Like when they go to Hell to fight, I thought was pretty tight. How Spawn went on his own, and when he fought the Clown pretty tight scenes. Check this movie out!
CLOWNING AROUND
SPAWN is one of the few comic book adaptations that actually looks and feels like a comic book. Todd McFarlane's immensely successful graphic books is brought to the screen with exciting action sequences and mindblowing special effects, except for the head demon who looks like a refuge from Sesame Street. Otherwise, the fx are great. The story is pretty simple: a CIA operative is betrayed by his boss and dies a fiery death. He is sent to hell where he agrees to return to lead Satan's army if he can see his girlfriend, Wanda. Five years have passed though and Wanda is now married to Spawn's best friend and they have a daughter. Spawn wants revenge on his killer but must face his own inner turmoil in deciding to fight for good or evil. Michael Jai White does okay as Spawn, but is burdened with heavy makeup and some inane dialogue. Martin Sheen (doing his best Vincent Price) is hammy as the villain. Good support from D.B. Sweeney as the friend and Nicol Williamson as the mysterious stranger. But it's John Leguizamo, unrecognizable under his heavy clown makeup, who chews up the scenery as the vile and crude Violator. He's the Penguin, Joker, Riddler and Catwoman all rolled up in one corpulent obscenity. He's really the star of the movie. The movie is entertaining and the scenery and music top notch, too.
Que engendro de pelicula ...
La pelicula por si sola es malisima...los que han visot la serie de Hbo ( animated series ) es 10 veces mejor que la pelicula....malas actuaciones, efectos 3d de principiantes, la historia ni se compara al animated...no me gusto la participacion de clown ....es decir....me quedo con la serie de dibujas animados de Hbo...esta pelicula es malisima..
