Quite entertaining..

Rating: Null/10 (20 April 2004)

I know this film suffered an enourmous amount of slaying from the original fans, as they call themselves. Granted, for myself, I never heard of the comics until I heard of the film, and so far I have yet to read the comics, so I cannot judge on whether or not the film is true to the comic..
BUT - this I must say, I sat through the film, and was enourmously entertained. A lot of cheesy dialogue, this is true - but it is not done without a winking eye. The effects are pretty cool and well carried out and in many ways it was easy to see that this was the same director who did "Blade II"....and that meant in a positive way as I rather liked that flick aswell - opposite of many, I'm told, but reluctant to understand why.
I love Spawn aswell, and the universe in particular, which might be why I was driven to this film. I didn't expect Brando-like acting or art in the way and I didn't get it - what I expected was violent action, and I definately got my share of that.
7/10
