Wonderful character development!
A movie that not only functions as a solid scarefest but a razor-sharp satire.
Strong acting helps the film overcome an uncertain premise and create characters that hold our attention absolutely.
It’s not bad or unwatchable but despite the amplitude of the spectacle, the end result is underwhelming.
This is just really cool, plus I saw it first at a rather young age. The effects really are sometimes terrible and other times good or even very good for it's time, still features many cool action scenes and set pieces, a memorable anti-hero and the unforgettable character of the "Clown".
So yeah I got done watching this movie and I found few problems. That damn clown in that movie is annoying thank god he got killed at the end. The make up is good but the CGI is bad like a PS1 cut scene. I wonder why this movie is the most forgotten like no one talk about it. The visual are good like it remind me of Hulk (2003) but without the comic style just a hellish type. Not the best movie but it's enjoyable.
Spawn (1997): Dir: Mark A.Z. Dippe / Cast: Michael Jai White, John Leguizamo, Martin Sheen, Theresa Randal, D.B. Sweeney: Comic book action film about what will emerge from our lives and how it will influence or affect those around us. A cop is set up to be killed and he receives the option of returning for vengeance thus leading Satan's army, or death. Naturally he returns for vengeance but his real concern is his fiancé who has moved on and married his partner. Only his dog Spaz seems to recognize him for his body is burnt plus he has the ability to transform. Director Mark A.Z. Dippe is backed with creative visual imagery as well as a sympathetic performance by Michael Jai White as Spawn. He is full of pain and anger for justice but ultimately he makes several grand decisions that will strengthen him by film's end. John Leguizamo is outstanding as a demonic clown despite conventional placing. Martin Sheen is standard as a corrupt government official in what is really a big disappointment. Theresa Randal as Spawn's wife must bear her loss and move on, which thankfully drives the story further. The relationship between her and her deceased husband's partner is done with taste. D.B. Sweeney plays his best friend who evidently becomes the new romantic interest in his wife's life. Comic book fans will enjoy the overwhelming production that also spawns a theme of regret and reflection. Score: 7 ½ / 10
Covert operative Al Simmons is killed in action, having been set up, and the next thing he knows is he is a kind of supernatural bum, living in an alley with hoboes having been kind of reincarnated as a super-powered burns victim with a groovy cloak, and a mission to protect his widow (who has moved on) and daughter, and combat a couple of nasty demon-y things, one of whom is a short fat foul-mouthed clown.Drawn from Todd McFarlane's comic, Spawn comes very early in the current cycle of super-hero movies, and is actually quite good considering how good they have become since. Makeup and CGI are good, the story - Spawn's origin story - is satisfactory, and the performances (with the exception of Michael Jai White who is a little lightweight) are solid.Could be better, judged by current standards, but not bad.
