Premise
Live action version of the comic.
Who should watch
Comic book fans. John Leguizamo fans.
Thoughts
I appreciate the filmmakers' for attempting to make it different and gritty. While most of the special effects were outdated, Spawn's cape looked awesome. It was a very cool cape that almost was its own character.
Maximum respect to John Leguizamo for his performance in a short and fat clown costume. Unfortunately, despite this acting degree of difficulty, his character felt like a Jack Nicholson's Joker wannabe.
Another strength in the movie was the the pioneering electronic-rock mash-up soundtrack.
What I would change
Corrected the biochemical fallout to go from East to West instead of West to East.
