“This film is just like the comic that inspired it: Great visuals (I still really like McFarlaneu0026#39;s superhero art style), but much like the majority of u0026quot;Spawnu0026quot; stories, it really doesnu0026#39;t go anywhere. The set looks good, the characters look good, the cape looks REALLY good, but the story? Other than telling the origin and the standard u0026quot;must stop the bad guyu0026quot; motive, it doesnu0026#39;t do as much as it should. And yes, I know itu0026#39;s a Hell-based movie, but the metal soundtrack just got distracting and annoying, instead of enhancing the story like it should have. John Williams or Danny Elfman it wasnu0026#39;t.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eNeed to see the film? Itu0026#39;s a great visual ride. Just donu0026#39;t expect much more than that. It did make for some cool toys, though.”
