What do you think about this movie?
Nothing positive.
It was
As 90's as it could get, I think. Frankly one of the more underrated black superheroes. That being said, it seemed like Spawn was always doing nothing but trying to rehash its own origin story instead of showing us the neat stuff. I always found it hilarious that a movie like Spawn mentions a man who sold his soul to Satan fighting against the Devil, yet a decade later we had become so much of a passive aggressive theocracy that we couldn't even give the Doom movie its actual setting.

Was the SFX all that good for the time?
The Maelbolgia scenes did not age well.
However that cape is bitchin' even today.

John Luigizama gave the best villain performance in a cape movie ever.
Otherwise it sucked.
>>78242262
They certainly weren't the best.
Martin Sheen was in this, right?
>>78242426
Yeah, he was Jason Wynn.

>They wanted hair fx so bad they just his everything up
>All they needed was a good painter to work on the textures
>No artistry allowed
shit film, hbo spawn series was 10x better
>>78242175
I never followed spawn, but was he black originally?
>>78242763
Yeah, but then he was whitewashed after complaints from SJWs, apparently if you are black you can't go to hell

I tried streaming this movie for my friend recently.
PURELY TO SHIT ON IT.
It was not even fun enough in that regard. We had to stop.

it was more about the cape effects on Spawn himself that was a big deal.
saw it in the theaters... desu i was pretty ok with it, leguizamo as Clown was great.
>>78243118
oh yeah, and the soundtrack kicked fucking ass
>>78242175
John Leguzamo is still the only good thing about this movie
>>78242833
Spawn wasn't whitewashed, he was just dead for a while and a blonde dude got his powers.
>>78242340
Violator holds up a little better because they used a blend of animatronics and CGI.
>>78243321
violator was the shit
Needed more of that chick playing Priest wearing skintight uniforms.
>>78243600
thats the chick from the OC and other stuff, i think she played a domatrix on CSI as well
It was fucking better than either Ghost Ridrt
Underrated movie. I'd put it into 'dark comedy' as much as a cape movie, too.
An extremely rare case where a movie racebended a black character into white (Terry, Wanda's new husband).
>>78242833
McFarlane said he burned Spawn's face because he didn't want him to be seen as a "black" hero.
>>78245269
After he did the KKK issue early on? Yeah right.

That way McFarlane can have his cake and it too!

>Leguizamo was announced when I was a kid
>wasn't sure he could pull it off
>saw an ad for The Pest
>broke out my markers
>"Oh shit, he's fucking perfect."

>>78242340
The effects weren't great, but this thing fucking ruled.
>>78242697
...that's too bad.
I marathoned the HBO series and I love the shit out of it.
