In these episodes, Spawn meets the man who assassinated him and becomes suspect of the organization that ordered him killed. Jason Wynn, the leader of the group, has plans to sell weapons of mass destruction stolen from the military. Spawn's former wife Wanda has since remarried Terry Fitzgerald, with whom Spawn must reconcile. Terry is hot on the trail of the missing arms, and Wynn and his assassins, including the highly trained Merrick, set out to kill Terry, Wanda, and their daughter Cyan. Spawn foils the plot while realizing the hard truth that Wanda has a new life. Spawn 2 is the slick and darkly realized animated adaptation of the popular comic book of the same name. It features the voice talents of Keith David (Spawn), who appeared in Dead Presidents, Denise Poirier (Merrick), and John Rafter Lee (Wynn), who also is the voice of Aeon Flux and Trevor Goodchild in the popular animated series Aeon Flux. --Shannon Gee

Customer Reviews of Todd McFarlane's Spawn 2 (Uncut Collector's Edition) (Animated Series)
Darker, more tense that the first The original Spawn series on HBO was a wonderfully executed project, and the second season is just as good. The story is well developed, with plenty of action. Spawn seems much more indestructible in this set than in the first, as he is becoming familiar with the powers bestowed upon him. In fact, there is only one 'counter' display during the entire movie to remind us that Spawn's power is not infinite. The installment answers few questions, and raises even more. There is also more of a Japanimation style to some of the scenes this time around.
While the movie itself is superb, the menu system could have used a little tweaking. The background music that accompanies the main menu isn't in sync at the loop point. Also, on some screens, all the available choices are displayed in text, while on others there are small 'arrow' buttons. Nitpicky details, but details nonetheless.
Spawn proves to be as complex as ever, never fully becoming hero nor villain, still unable to cope with his new existence.
Highly recommended to fans of the series. For the uninitiated, you will get more out of Spawn 2 if you've seen the first installment beforehand. Five stars for the film, four stars for the DVD presentation.
Animation so good it'll make you think twice
I remember watching this series when it aired on HBO. I was in shock at how dark and perfectly executed the mood of the "cartoon" was. This wasn't re-using frame after frame like Hanna-Barbara, it wasn't happy kiddie-fare from Disney, and it wasn't some strange art style inspired from Europe like Heavy Metal. Spawn was truly an animated series for adults, and people who could think. Don't let the spelling of other reviewers (words like "phat" and the excessive use of the letter z, e.g.) fool you into thinking this for the current MTV generation only. This is for anyone who wants to see an intelligent, dark series that probably gets away with more grim acts than many R-rated movies. Exceptional and eye-opening. You owe it to yourself to see this work of art.
It's Spawn, But Not At His Best
Point given: any Spawn fan will enjoy this video at least a bit, and they wouldn't have an obvious reason not to.
The animation is dark and full of shadows, the voice-actuing is very accurate, and the storyline stays true.
So why shouldn't I give this movie a higher rating?
Well, there are several reasons...
For one thing, after you've watched the movie several times and your familiar with all of it, you'll notice that the animation, despite holding true to a dark and Gothic style, is second-rate. The flow of it is substandard, and reeks of slow-downs and mid-class transitions.
Also, even though the voices are right on the money, the text seems a bit...off.
Considering the first and third animated Spawn movies, and the extent of swearing, cursing, and exclamations used frequently, this PG-13 style of voice-text seems a bit out of place.
I realize that the comic book the movies are based on are kept to a PG-13 level as well, but when you talk about the movies and their own dialouge, you'll come to see the comic book and the films are quite different.
But, as I said before, if you're a Spawn fan, you shouldn't hesitate too much to buy this tape and the others as well.
