Product Description

Product Description

The director's cut of the film based on Todd McFarlane's comic book creation. Murder victim Al Simmons (Michael Jai White) is returned to life after making a pact with the devil. Simmons agrees to lead Hell's army against mankind as long as he can see his wife Wanda (Theresa Randle) again. Reincarnated as the chameleon-like Spawn, Simmons is offered the chance to use his new powers for good by Cogliostro (Nicol Williamson).

From Amazon.co.uk

After being murdered for quitting his role as a ruthless yet moral government assassin, Al Simmons (Michael Jai White) is sent to Hell, where he makes a pact with the demon Malebolgia--if Simmons is allowed to see his lover, Wanda, again, he will agree to lead the demon's armies to storm the gates of Heaven. Transformed into a superhuman entity with shape-shifting powers and quick regeneration capabilities, Simmons (soon to be dubbed "Spawn" by Malebolgia's crony, the Violator) returns to Earth and attempts to reunite with Wanda, not knowing that five years have passed. He also seeks revenge on his former boss and killer, Jason Wynn (Martin Sheen), who has made a deal with the Violator to develop a lethal virus to take over the world, where Wynn is promised to be king. Spawn wages an inner battle between good and evil as he tries to come to terms with selling his soul and what it could mean for humankind. Despite excellent special effects and great potential, Spawn seems to come up short. While White certainly displays verve in his characterisation of the twisted hero, he cannot overcome some forced dialogue. On the flip side, the usually engaging John Leguizamo portrays the sinister Violator--an evil monster masquerading as a rotund, weird-looking clown--as an irritating lackey who spews overbearing sarcasm and incessantly banal one-liners. Admitted, many of Spawn's action sequences are fun, and the transitions effectively brisk, but more could have been done to explore how Simmons grapples with his humanity in these daunting circumstances. But if you want sizzling action sequences and digital effects, this film should keep you happy. --Bryan Reesman

5.0 out of 5 starsSpectacular
By Barbara. Barron on 4 July 2013
Format: DVD Verified Purchase
The acting of the baddies was beautifully overdone, they obviously really enjoyed their roles. The clown was superb. How well he played the part of the disgusting, scatalogical beast, revelling in causing pain and suffereing. The human touch made the whole thing come to life for me, a great improvement over the animated film version. And the efforts of the director and producer were heroic, the sets wholly believable, giving us, the viewers, a jouney to a vastly different place to that of the world we know. The storyline was effective, ran on well, and made some sort of sense if you are prepared to suspend belief in the rational and logical, and go to the history of a mix of religious and gothic myth. Anyway this is why I enjoy well made films of this ilk, I can go somewhere else for a bit, and even watch it again occasionally. There is also a demonstration of the fragility yet underlying toughness of children to boot. It has a dark foreboding atmosphere, dreadful weather, with an abandoned forbidding Gothic cathedral, and a batman like city. The baddies really do look like they are going to have a serious win. I like that........

3.0 out of 5 starsGood attempt but not good enough.
By A Customer on 27 May 2000
Format: VHS Tape
Let's face it, Spawn the comic was never going to be easy to transfer onto the big screen.
I think that Todd McFarlane & co didn't do all that bad a job of the movie, however, I do believe that the movie could have been MUCH better than it turned out. If only they made the film darker, like the comics, more in the style of say "Blade" with Wesley Snipes.
A great prospect that was never given the right script, actors or director, Spawn could have been so much more than just another action movie with some eye-catching special effects, but alas it isn't.
Although Michael Jai White wasn't a bad choice for Al Simmons, Tony Todd should have been brought in for the voice of the deceased Simmons, aka Spawn. Also, someone like David Fincher could have directed this better in my mind and Todd McFarlane could have co-wrote a fantastic script with someone like Kevin Smith.
I have heard rumours of a sequel, which is promised to be a LOT darker than this, the first Spawn movie, I hope this is true, as Spawn really deserves to be a big budget, cleverly scripted box office & critical hit of a movie, not this half-... attempt.

4.0 out of 5 stars"..GOOD FUN COMIC-BOOK MOVIE.."
By SDX on 7 Jun. 2014
Format: Blu-ray Verified Purchase
Yet again another underrated film from 1997, a fantastic comic book movie based on the Spawn comic book, a great character that was done to as good as justice would allow with effects back in 97, the film is very dark and vulgar especially the evil clown character who is played really well by John Leguizamo, his violator scenes are amazing too for the time, fantastic effects, Michael Jai white is great for the spawn character too and the suit looks cool and it features the chains and the glowing eyes and the cool red cape, so much effort has been put into making it a marvel to look at, some of the effects mainly the hell scenes are questionably low budget, but overall its a great movie, worth going back too, great cast, cool effects and story, lets hope one day for a remake or sequel.
The Blu-ray has some great special features.
The import Blu-ray directors cut is region free.

4.0 out of 5 starsGreat for Spawn newbies, problematic for hard-core fans
By Daniel Jolley HALL OF FAMETOP 500 REVIEWER on 21 Feb. 2004
Format: DVD
I came to this movie knowing basically nothing about the Spawn character, the comic strip, and the whole story behind Todd McFarlane's vaunted modern-day hero. I am familiar with McFarlane's work on Spiderman in the early nineties, but that's basically it. My reaction may thus be much different from devoted Spawn fans who had definite expectations from this film. Fans are apt to either love or hate the real-life movie dramatization of a favorite character, and this movie had definite limits that could easily rub fans the wrong way. I understand that there are some significant differences between the Spawn storyline we see here and that of the comic book series, that this is a much more linear retelling of the legend, one that could not afford to leave many unanswered questions at the end because the chances of making a sequel were unquantifiable at the time. The special effects are not bad at all, but the movie suffers from the overinflated billing of these special effects; if the studio hadn't overplayed their hand by naming this "the special-effects movie of the year" 1997, all of the computer animation would have been scrutinized less completely by moviegoers. The limitations imposed by the MPA ratings board in securing the film a PG-13 rating also basically ruined the film that was shown in theatres; this "director's cut" of the film is a complete and much, much better version than fans originally paid to see.
Spawn, for those who don't know, is not your typical superhero. Trained to be an elite assassin for the CIA, he ultimately decides to get out after a mission that kills a lot of civilians who, he was promised, would not be in the area of operations. His boss, played quite wickedly by Martin Sheen, basically sets him up and has him killed.Read more ›

2.0 out of 5 stars1 Star for bravery and the other for the effects
By A Customer on 8 Nov. 2002
Format: DVD
I watched Spawn again recently, hence my urge to review it. Spawn had SO much potential, backed with possibly the strongest visual comic book on the shelves.
Some of the artistic splendour did translate across but was ultimately wasted. Minus Spawn himself and the third class action scenes (that actually look borrowed from other movies: Terminator 2, The Crow, Batman) and you're left with an embarrassing made for TV quality plot and acting to match it.
Our big villain, Jason Wynnand and his female side-kick strike me as characters that just stepped off a cheap erotic movie set and brought guns along for 'the hell of it'.
Why the creators thought a Dr. Evil (Inspector Gadget's foe) type voice appropriate for Satan is beyond me. And with this voice, as you'd imagine, sounds cartoon-ish. Whilst on the subject of speech, Michael Jai White will drive you despair, acting out his lines like an irritable smoker.
Spawn is a great character and deserves much more than this. Tim Burton, anyone?
