Review of Spawn

Spawn (1997)
3/10
Has not aged well at all.

Yeah, I just watched this just now on a boring Saturday afternoon and man it was rough to watch. I remember wanting to watch this so badly as a teenager but never finding the chance to see it. Many, many, years later I finally got a chance to watch this at home and unfortunately the film did not age well with poor special effects, sloppy graphics, poor costume. Seriously, it looks like Michael Jai White was wearing a hockey / Jason Voorhies mask. So, as a film, it looks incredibly awful which you would say, hey it's a movie made in the 90's, so the special effects will look cheap but Terminator 2 was made before Spawn and I have that on DVD and I can watch it and it still looks great. So, I ain't buying that excuse.

It's too bad with lead star Michael Jai White. The man had the look and athleticism and should have been a legit major movie star but this film did him no favors.

I think another reason why I wanted to see this film and it's only saving grace is the soundtrack. I remember buying and loving the Spawn soundtrack with tons of great songs on it that were amazing to listen to and quite frankly, were better than the movie.

Yeah, in short, Spawn the film has not aged well but still worth a look on a boring day.
