Summary: OUTRAGEOUSLY BAD !
Review: This movie is awful, awkward, a great swindle (like the comics, by the way). I have nothing against the violence in Spawn'comics. So, it was better to leave it that way when transporting it to the big screen. But no: the movie took a completely faulty script, took bad actors (Sheen is an exception, but his character is as bad as all the others). THe special effects are good, but so what? All in all, just a kind of MTV product of our days...

Summary: All the Special Effects in the World Can't Save This Bomb
Review: A lot of people seem to think that good special effects make for a good movie. Those people are wrong. Without a solid script and an intriguing storyline, no movie can be saved by cool visual effects. This movie has only one memorable moment, when the maniacal, little clown turns into a cheerleader and does some goofy cheers. That was actually hysterical. The rest of this film was hysterically bad. Martin Sheen must be experiencing the lowest low of his career. To think that the same guy who had the lead in "Apocalypse Now," a classic about the Vietnam War, would appear in this piece of trash is more frightening than anything. It doesn't say much for the enduring quality of an actor's career, no matter what great films he or she has starred in. Anyway, Spawn is awful, but might be worth seeing just for the joy of watching a really horrendous film.

Summary: Good but not great
Review: When i first saw this movie, I thought the special effects were terrific, and it really got me interested into the Spawn character. At that time i would of rated the movie as a five, but after watching the HBO cartoon series and reading the majority of the comic books, I now think that the movie wasn't that great, or at least I thought it could of been a lot better, it really doesn't do the character of Spawn justice.

Summary: Amazingly
Review: Absolutely the worst film I have ever seen at a cinema, this opened in the UK a week after 'Batman and Robin' and damaged my faith in motion pictures irrevocably.Looking back, the only good thing I can remember is the opening credits sequence, and then only for the interesting collaboration of Orbital and Metallica. Apart from that, and an attractive visual style, this film is awful, and I hate it in so many ways. As a translation of the comic book, it's terrible, missing the atmosphere completely. It's closer to the dreadful Marvel adaptations ('The Punisher', 'Swamp Thing' and so on), it pulls its punches, the script is awful, and it doesn't even have a single decent action sequence. The acting is uniformly dreadful, you feel sorry for poor old Martin Sheen, the effects are cheap-looking and very, very bad (the final computer-generated monster seems to use a model from 'Men in Black', whilst the evocation of Satan and Hell will have you laughing out loud - it looks worse than the average computer game FMV intro sequence) and I'm just going to stop here before I start ranting about this. I seriously considered walking out, although I couldn't as there were people in the way. Buy several copies of this DVD, and then burn them. You'll be happier, believe me. Compare this with 'Blade' for how it should be done - on a similarly low budget, and a similar mileu 'Blade' is fantastic, whereas 'Spawn' is awful.

Summary: Lots of action, I liked it
Review: I could go and say that this movie lacks in plot, and has too many special effects and I wouldn't be lying, but I loved it! Especialy when I saw it in the theatre. It was what got me interested in Spawn to begin with. Its plot is a little different from the comic and the animated series, but like McFarlane says in his interview, its boring to tell the same story over and over. I think it could have been a little less sappy and Spawn should have worn his mask more. I loved the way the cape was portrayed, that really must have been hard to show, but i think it should have been with him more. Without it he looks more human and normal. I LOVED Martin Sheen's acting, and the other actors did great in bringing this book to life. A lot of action too.

Summary: pleasing enough
Review: This movie does have a lot of strong points including special effects and a dark, mysterious feel. On the down side, it really doesn't have much of a plotline and sometimes makes no sense. Overall it is watchable with eye candy but those who are looking for something in substance should look elsewhere.

Summary: A new technique in Visaul Effects, A Slam Bang.
Review: DIrector Mark Dippe does impressive job making the visual effects look good is extraordinary. Well written by Alan b. Mc Elroy. Excellent Make-Up Effects by KNB Effects Group. Spectacular Visual Effects by Industrial Light and Magic. Psysical Performance by John Leguizamo, also he`s in a great heavy make-up effects, He Plays The Villain Clown in this film. Micheal Jai White is Great as Spawn. The film didn`t get intentions from critics, it was modest success at the box office in 1997. A new classic hero in the making. DVD`s has an fine anamorphic Widescreen(1.85:1) transer and an strong Dolby Digital 5.1 Surround. Grade:A-.

Summary: Saturated In Computer FX and Other Bogus Ideas
Review: Several villains and one super-hero, dressed in hackneyed outfits; Street scenes in a film noir style with a touch of Bocsh and Brueghel colouring; asinine car chases with monotonous explosions; idiotic humor and excessive computer FX that will make teenagers gape -- and you have Spawn, a movie that has no original ideas and rips off everything in sight. (Nevertheless, when it comes filming a comic book like this, everything will turn out as a commonplace)
Rating:
Summary: Wow...
Review: Special effects, both visual and audio, are absolutly amazing.
The story telling is very reminicent of a comic book with lots of scene cuts and intense colors. This style can be distracting if you don't realize that Spawn is/was originally a comic book... Once you understand this you can appreciate how the movie stayed true to the comic book format.
Spawn is a must buy for anyone looking for great special effects, strong imagry, and a fantastic storyline.
