Summary: This "Commando" isn't Arnold!
Review: "Todd McFarlane's Spawn" appears to be a cartoon remake of the 1985 film "Commando" starring Arnold Schwarzenegger. Al, a former Special Forces operative, awakens to find himself a dead, hell-spawned warrior. Al battles evil foes (including some Special Forces operatives) and rescues his former wife's daughter. Take Arnold Schwarzenegger's "Commando", add hellfire and brimstone, and you have "Todd McFarlane's Spawn"."Todd McFarlane's Spawn" is entertaining (some of the chain tricks *are* used during real life oil drilling), but I prefer Arnold Schwarzenegger's "Commando" (which features Arnold at his peak and young teen Alyssa Milano as Arnold's kidnapped daughter).

Review: "Todd McFarlane's Spawn" really is Todd McFarlane's Spawn unlike the movie "Spawn" which probably is an insult to the character of Spawn (I feel bad for Todd). This movie (cartoon) is a perfect portrayal of the comic book series Spawn. It contains the style, the mood, maybe not the same appearances of characters (mostly Cogliastro) but still it is almost exact which is great. And since it is an HBO cartoon, it needs to be an adult cartoon with bad language, violence and animated nudity. But that's fine with me. This is definately a must-see DVD and don't get the edited version where it is PG-13...Get this uncut version because if you don't, you'll regret it.

Summary: Great anamation
Review: A great movie. I was not familiar with the comic book series so I watched this movie with no pre-conceived ideas. The only dissapointing part of this dvd is that you must flip it over half way through the movie. It could have easily fit on one side in a dual layer format. Boo, hiss. END

Summary: Everything you know about animation is about to change.
Review: At a time when animation has been exiled to Saturday morning and lighthearted Disney fare Todd MacFarlane's Spawn proves that this is a medium for serious storytelling. Spawn is not like anything you've seen coming out of American animation studios. It combines a gripping film noir style story with spectacular visual elements which the DVD format really helps to enhance. The only things wrong with this DVD is that it's a two sided disc making it difficult to handle and potentially easy to damage. Other than that this DVD is a must own!!

Review: from start to finish
it shocks
makes you laugh a little
possibly puke out your guts (not literally) if you can't handle gore
it's not for the faint of heart
it's one powerful, gripping, shocking, funny at times, serious action animation movie. I read the comics. played with the toys. and more. Todd McFarlane is a genious with Spawn. in all Spawn is more the good guy. he's just living in one confusing situation between heaven and hell. this is an awesome movie and would recommend it for older viewers like 17 and up. that or ask parents permission first. and if you go out and kill people because you saw it in a movie people. then you yourselves need just as much help as the sickos out there. so enjoy the movies for what they are. but don't imitate what you see. I have this on dvd and love it every time I watch it

Summary: Mcfarlane is a GENIUS!
Review: I bought this disc after I saw the live movie. This animated version is much better! If your a kid see the Spawn movie that would hook a kid aged 4-10. But this is what Spawn is really about an unwilling hero caught in a cross-fire with heaven and hell. Trying to keep his sanity as he tries to walk the path that will end his suffering. Spawn live action is like a kiddie version of something that is not supposed to be. Spend your money on this!

Summary: Mind Blowing!!!!
Review: I bought this DVD after watching the live action version. I had heard from numerous friends that this "cartoon" was amazing but I was floored. This is a great DVD with plenty of extras. Warning this is not for kids. This DVD is a MUST have!!!

Summary: Mature animation at its finest
Review: I can say this honestly, HBO has done the Image comic book title justice. This series is really the only thing I`ve seen produced in America that can compete with Japanese Anime. And it keeps up pretty well. Just do yourself a favour and get the rated R version; it's just more honest.

Summary: This is much better than the VHS version!
Review: I have a friend that bought the VHS version of this show and I watched it with her. I thought it was good enough to buy a copy, so I bought it on DVD. I was amazed at all of the things that were left out of the VHS, the interview with McFarlane and the long (over an hour) and interesting monolouge in which he explains much about his struggle to get the TV show the way he wanted it and the complications involved with making this great compilation of the first season. Two thumbs up and kudos to Todd McFarlane.
