I'm a comic book fan and generally try to watch any comic book adaptation to film. Spawn is one of my favorite comic book characters and a movie about him sounded exciting. Unfortunately, this film is a classic case of "great source material, bad execution". The film suffers from a very bad script (idiotic at some points), bad acting and some lousy CGI effects (not all CGI effects in the film are bad, just the parts in Hell). On the plus side the atmosphere of the film is quite good and Spawn's armor is rather good (best part of the film is when Spawn fights using his armor).
What bugs me the most about this movie is that it could have been so much better. Spawn is a great character, a badass anti-hero with some really cool powers (which come from his armor) but in the film he comes out as a weak and not very intelligent man, easily manipulated and led on by almost everyone he meets. I guess the fact that there is no sequel says a lot. Recommended for comic book fans. I give it 5 out of 10.
