Oooh, goody, look, pixels!!!!!!
Looked bad then, looks bad now.
Satan must be turning in his grave because of the way they protrayed him and his home here.
The fat clown saves it.
Sort of.

This movie is worse than Hitler

Ok, so I've seen several parts of this movie throughout my life and never really took to it. I don't know if I was in a particularly Spawn-y mood tonight or the fact that I read the first few issues last week, but I had a great time with this movie. I always remember Johnny Legs being extremely annoying as the Clown, but I was cracking up at half his jokes tonight. The special effects are definitely dated, but I found it charming. And to be fair a lot of them were pretty sweet.

Spawn is basically Venom from Spiderman in a cape with a little bit of Punisher.
Not as cool as it sounds, but it has it's moments.

Wow!!!, I just watched this for the first time since it was released in theaters. I have no idea why i liked this film when i was a teenager. It was fucking brutal, to say the least. The CG was so poorly dated, and i understand that this was the early days og CG, but this was soooo bad. The scenes in hell were laughable, and as a whole it looked like garbage.
I would have thought being written by the creator himself, Todd Macfarlane, it would have had a good story at least, but it was not the case. The acting was about as bad as one can imagine from a comic book movie from the 90's, which is… -
"Get away from me you fudge-packing midget!"
That one line sums up the stupidity of this entire film. But ya know, it's vaguely kinda almost goofy 90s comic book fun. Sort of. I mean I have no idea what even really happened in this film but who needs a coherent story when you've got a sweet cape and a dog called Spaz??

Everything about this movie was ill-conceived.

The fuck did I just watch? What a wasted opportunity.

This movie and it's special effects haven't aged well, and they were already pretty bad to begin with.
