An assassin, betrayed and murdered by his boss, receives the chance to return from Hell - if he helps Satan conquer the world as the Spawn. Based on the comic book by Todd McFarlane, this action thriller tells the story of the burnt, scarred, Hellspawn, who keeps performing heroic deeds despite the best efforts of his demon guide and the unattainable temptation to return to his former life.

It's not as bad as I thought it would be, but it's not good either. Once again, it’s one of those films where they thought faithfully adapting the comic would be great, with all the elements that work on paper, but in the film, they don't - like the clown, who is just dreadful. The CGI, which was still in its infancy, only exacerbated the issue.

Awful in every sense. The highest concentration of the atrocious poetics of the nineties that I can possibly imagine. This can’t be any further from my taste. Once again: awful. Spawn will haunt my dreams for a couple of nights.

A mockery of all good comic book films, in whose light Elektra is a decent flick and Ghost Rider a memorable masterpiece.

One of those comic book adaptations that doesn't offend me, but at the same time, doesn't impress me in any way. Overall impression: 40%.
