Haven't read Spawn in years. I honestly don't even know if it's still in publication. I think after the 1st 20 issues, I got bored with Macfarlane's writing, enjoyed a couple of issues where he had guest-writers then kinda lost interest....that's over 10 years ago.
Yeah I watched it not too long ago, and the CGI heavy scenes wouldn't even be tolerable in a video game these days.
Also Micheal Jai White is awesome and if you need martial arts ba stuff or intimidating guy he is great but as an actor he is only middle of the field.
It shows in Spawn with a lot of more acting heavy scenes. Which to me it's an important to have a guy who can act cause a lot of Spawn's epicness comes from his torment as much as his BA factor.
With a lot of lessons learned from early attempts at comic book movies a spawn reboot would probably be way better today than the 97 one was.
If they could make it like the toon and get an R rating instead of a PG-13 so stupid little kids can see it I would give it a chance...And McFarlane is a douchebag. Always has been always will be.

I saw ten minutes of it. My dad rented Spawn thinking it was the live action version and it was the cartoon instead. Needless to say my dad turned it off rather quickly when he discovered his error
Watch it. The first season dragged a bit but in the end it was as edgy as a dark superhero show gets.
And to illustrate my earlier point. There is no way the censors would have allowed a live action version of that anime onto the public. Especially considering the money involved to make the film/films.
I liked the original movie, but then I like watching old fashioned films with their cheesy SFX. And michael jai white did a great job as he tends to do.
I hope they make a new spawn soon. With MJW reprising the role. Denzel is a bad idea. Maybe it's just because I just saw Flight, he's looking too old for such a role.
