Michael Jai White stars an assassin whacked by his bosses and sent to Hades, where he gets a new lease on the afterlife as one of the Hellspawn (infernal storm troopers groomed for the apocalyptic assault on heaven). But while the others of his kind do evil work, Spawn uses his powers for good, though he would like nothing more than to exact revenge on his killer (Martin Sheen). John Leguizamo co-stars in this reinterpretation of the superhero genre.
I want to see Spawn again but with a good director, good fx and quality actors. Spawn story is like a bonanza but this movie is piece of shit. That's all.
Uh, these effects aren't very special, Beavis. Man, just re-watched this for the first time since it came out. I'm not sure why I did; it's as awful as I remember. Looks like it was made for $40 on someone's shitty PC; even by 1997 standards, it looks bad. Aside from John Leguizamo and poor Nicol Williamson (I wonder how drunk he was on set), everyone is a cypher. Just plain bad...
