my husband loves the animated movies and this movie and I had never seen it until I meet him. It is good though I was surprised.

i never heard of spawn before i saw it on tv good movie

I'd say that the biggest problem with this film is that when this came out, the far better animated show was there almost at the same time. Why go with the lesser of the two?

On it's own this is a good movie, plenty of action and a decent story. Just hard to justify average with such better material that could have been used.

Spawn is a film based upon Todd Mcfarlane's comic book series, which are dark, gritty, and full of attitude. The film had SO much potential, but came up short. The plot revolves around Al Simmons, a military assassin that is betrayed by the government (His boss), gets killed and is sent to hell. The demon Malebolgia offers him to see his wife again if he chooses to lead his army against Heaven in the Armageddon. Simmons accepts, becomes Spawn, and goes out seeking vengeance. The plot was good, but the acting was absolutely terrible. The dialogue is pretty cheesy. But the film does score with some cool action sequences, and the film did have great special effects at the time (Compliments of Industrial Light & Magic). The cast wasn't impressive (Micheal Jai White as Spawn), but that does not matter. Overall, I think this was an OK film, that is a rent (But a defiant buy for fans). Had MUCH potential to be great. 3.5/5 stars.
