Cult classic in the making?

Created: 07/07/06
I have loved everything Todd McFarland has done since this movie and series! Spawn is one of the best hero/anti-hero creation in a long time. Michael Jai White gives an awesome performance as Spawn...such torment and pain all portrayed on screen. And John Leguizamo...what an under-rated performance! "Spawny Spawny he's our man, if he can't do it...no one can!" Best scene ever! If you have seen the movie you know what I'm talking about...if not you gotta see it!

Comic Book Anti-heros

Created: 10/05/10
What can I say? This is another comic book character turned in to a movie. It is just about what you would expect. An errant soul ends up in hell and is sent back to earth as the devil's tool to destroy all good or whats left of it.

This production is somewhat above the norm. It is exciting and moves right along.

Great comic book to movie. Great action, story & computer graphics for it's time in this movie. Good choice of actors for the parts. I would recommend to anyone who likes the Spawn comic books & animated movies.

Excellent 5 Star

Created: 08/12/09
Is a movie that I don't reccomend for children. It's a diabolical movie. Is good for those who like scary movies. I didn't like the fact that they are using children to make the movie and is dangerous because the children can stay crazy seen demons and stuff.

It's a good movie. But if you don't need to see it it will be better.
