I personally believe Spawn the movie was an utter failure, the only thing i liked about the movie was his suit. The casting choices were so terribly out of place, martin sheen? come on that guy was washed up even at that time. The actor they got to play simmons, just overacted his role so badly. I mean there are so many things wrong with that movie, they did try and stay relevent to the story, but the movie was essentially only half of the first comic. For lack of better words, i felt the entire movie was just corny. I think it's biggest problem, aside form the casting was it's PG-13 rating. This limited what was possible. I have no idea why they would even give it a PG-13 rating. It is a violent, dark character, who enduces nightmarish mayhem with the turn of every page. They are trying for a Spawn 2 though, Mcfarlene talked about it on his site
Well first off, it's rated R, not PG-13. Second, when I first saw it, Martin Sheen did a fine job, and so did the actor that played Spawn(Michael Jai White, I think).
I did say "for its time". I think they need a new movie, because currently, this movie is a little outdated. Still, I was like...11 when it first came out, the special effects were pretty good and all the jazz.
and i was wrong, it wasn't '94, it was '96.
