I have mixed feelings about this movie, the little kid inside loves it but the adult finds it lacking. The animated show with Keith Davids as Spawn was awesome on the other hand and something I would recommend for it's own episode.
Very sad, that they stop the hbo animation when the story starts to get interesting. But still amazing voice acting, give me chills just to think about it
John Leguizamo kept me coming back to see this movie. He entertained and disgusted me more than any other ‘villain’ but I couldn’t stop minorly cheering for him too! Though the visuals don’t hold up nowadays.. it’s still a film that keeps me wanting to just shout ‘THE VIOLATOR’!
Lol fr. Of course who would play Spawn in a remake is important, but I'm far more concerned with who would reprise John Leguizamo's role! He brought so much to the character
It's a damn Greek tragedy that Spawn wasn't expanded more. I liked to read comics but Spawn was the only series I collected. I've heard rumors they're doing a reboot with the same actors. Here's hoping.
I love this movie. It's soo 90"s. and still entertaining. i can't ask for more. Its fun and I'll rewatch it every so often. I would NOT want a remake. Not in this Hollywood
The scene where he descended from the roof and his cape unfolds and envelopes the whole ceiling as if seemingly endless put me in such an awe as a kid. The scene didn't age really well but the idea of it was just so badass
I personally have loved this movie ever since I was a kid, although I will admit the CGI is hard to look at these days. but overall I think it’s a fantastic popcorn film. and if you pay attention during the big party scene just before spawn shows up y’all might see a character who probably would’ve shown up in sequels if they had made them.
I really enjoyed Spawn when it came out. Was dark and gritty. Something that later comic book movies would do. Being one of the first it does often get overlooked.
Anti heros where always my favorite growing up. The punisher and spawn where my favorite lores. They seemed more believable to me and I hated the goodie goodie heros. I always loved the characters that could be looked at as bad but if you knew their back round and story you would understand them. Spawn had the coolest action figures in the late 90s by far. So cool and I still have them. That's probably why the hound in GOAT is my favorite character. Spawn needs a reboot. It would be epic af. Probably on par with Deadpool.
Yeeees the action figures!! How could I forget! I had one as a kid & it was a favorite. Thanks for bringing back that memory! That's awesome that you still have yours 😊
I loved Spawn, when I was around 7-9, everytime I visited my cousin in a different town, we would watch the movie together with popcorn and soda, but we always stopped eating whenever the scene with maggot pizza and the tire scratch underwear appeares, even tho it was campy af, we loved it for what it was.
Spawn is a very inspirational character. We can all relate to his origin story. We all have made terrible bargains to find a quick way out of hell only to realize it wasn't the right choice. Spawns a rebel against the devil and i love that about him. I loved how the movie introduce him to me wen i was 8 years old. Movie always holds a special place with me.
Love the movie now matter what people say! Roger Ebert gave the movie a positive review, saying, "As a visual experience, Spawn is unforgettable." There are even talks of a Sequel and reboot, which are both in turnaround and Todd McFarlane wanted to turn Spawn into a bed! Lol! At one point it was going to be a cross between Jaws Meets The Exorcist, with Jeremy Renner in the role of Detective Twitch Williams , as well qs having a paranormal investigator teaming up with a Catholic priest to fight off Spawn.
This is one of the movies I 1st grew up on when I was a kid. While the CGI efffects didn't exactly age well, I still love this movie to this very day to this very day I feel there was a brilliant cast that they could have worked with and I feel because there was so much editing a sort of ruin to the movie as what was already stated. I hope they do a new reboot however I hope they use all the original cast members because I believe that they were brilliant Michael J white is a Gray outfit's like it's as Al Simmons and who doesn't love John legizmo as the clown. All around I still love this movie.
I love the spawn movie, I remember going to see it when I was younger at the movies. I don’t get the hate. It’s still an enjoyable watch today and I hope they make another one. Would even hope they get Micheal Jai white to return. He is a badass.
Spawn was a staple in my comic collection and I loved it. I was disappointed with he film due to them messing with the story so much. What made spawn great was....yes he's a demon spawn but he is also human. He doesn't come to terms with his wife being with his friend it is always a point of depression for him. One comic stands out when he is basically peeping on them hiding in the bushes crying. Knowing that could have been his life. He has ups and downs, good times and bad. It's a comic about life really, coming to terms with what you can't change and moving on. It doesn't happen overnight but eventually you will find your centre again. Life is hard, it will test you many times. This is the lesson I learn from the spawn comics. It had emotion, life lessons and heart. It was also gory as all hell, my mum never knew I was reading them at like 10. The local comic store didn't give a shit bout age restrictions so I got all the good stuff 🤣🤣🤣. I say comic store but it really was a news agent who was into comics. Pretty much the only way I could get them here in Australia back then. Comics were not a huge industry here like in the states. We are talking early 90s. Spawn was always a regular in my basket. The store clerk was rad too knew shitloads about comics and the lore I could chat to him for hours. He was about 60 but a huge comic nerd.
I loved this movie as a kid. I begged my dad to let me see this and he finally took me. And it was great. Spawn became my favorite super hero for awhile there.
When I plan to watch a movie, I go in with little expectations. That way I come out having enjoyed it. I've always loved the Spawn movie and still do. Some of the effects do make me wince though.
I took my then young nephew to se Spawn in the theater, he was like 15, maybe his first rated R film... He's in his really late 30s now, I'm still the coolest uncle
Spawn is a total blast. I admit most of my memories are of the animated HBO series but the movie is still good too. I think the suit still looks pretty cool and I don't like a lot of new CGI... the hell scenes are pretty terrible though hahahaha!
So glad I own the animated series. I still love the cape from the irl movie tho. Still so beautiful. Spawn has been a favorite since I was a little girl
i rented this movie at a blockbuster when i was a kid, good times. I loved it then and i tolerate it now, its still awesome at some parts for me so it till holds up.
There are 85 VFX shots in the movie, done on a $9 million dollar budget. The VFX, done by Industrial Light and Magic, were finished two weeks before it's theatrical release.
I loved this movie as a kid, & I mean I absolutely adored it. I don’t know how the hell I was able to watch this as a child, but bless my parents for allowing it. Been a fan of Spawn and Micheal Jai White ever since.
Spawn is my favorite comic book character! This film didn't age well and I know it wasn't well received but I still love it. This was one of my fist introductions so Spawn along with the figures my mom got my as a kid. I really hope Todd makes another version as dark as the HBO series was because I'm sure it'll be way better with todays tech and techniques!
Been patiently waiting for this one. Love Spawn, really want to see them do a series/remake. Even though i was a kid i knew nothing when seeing and reading it but god damn he was amazing.
If spawn got a newer reboot I think alot more people would appreciate him more
Todd McFarland has been trying that for several years, even got Jamie Fox on board as Al. Still hoping that gains movement
woah woah woah, I understand where you're coming from, but let's be careful about this haha
Ur grammar has me like 😵💫
It's been in production hell as far as I know
Would have to be a hard R rating
This movie blew my mind as a kid 🤯 I knew nothing of Spawn before this film and became a fan for life.
Same! 🙌🏽
I have mixed feelings about this movie, the little kid inside loves it but the adult finds it lacking.
The animated show with Keith Davids as Spawn was awesome on the other hand and something I would recommend for it's own episode.
Very true...
Spawn: I snuffed out every devil in hell, the netherrealm showed up to piss me off.🤬
MK11 reference.😋
@Grouch On The Couch The particle effects around his eyes still holds up, so that's something.
Very sad, that they stop the hbo animation when the story starts to get interesting. But still amazing voice acting, give me chills just to think about it
you seen the Fan made film?
This is a movie that deserves a reboot. After seeing both Venom films, the special effects would do Spawn justice.
Interestingly he also created the art design for venom. Which explains the resemblance in their face and white marks
Imagine if we get a Spawn and Venom crossover. I would love to see two of Todd’s creations interacting
Knowing Todd McFarlane and how he saw Marvel lose their IP to Sony and Fox Entertainment, I think he would be relunctant to sell his IP.
John Leguizamo kept me coming back to see this movie.
He entertained and disgusted me more than any other ‘villain’ but I couldn’t stop minorly cheering for him too!
Though the visuals don’t hold up nowadays.. it’s still a film that keeps me wanting to just shout ‘THE VIOLATOR’!
The maggot pizza still haunts vividly as a now 32yo😆 Great actor and hilarious comedian all around
@@rb9882 This scene ALL THE WAY!
I stumbled through many days at work uttering the word VIOLATED.....think it was after watching this flick. 😁
"You've been VIOLATED girly man!"
I just love how John Leguizamo is having a blast in this film.
His best role for sure. The prostethics took all day to apply so he's making the most of every scene haha
Lol fr. Of course who would play Spawn in a remake is important, but I'm far more concerned with who would reprise John Leguizamo's role! He brought so much to the character
It's a damn Greek tragedy that Spawn wasn't expanded more. I liked to read comics but Spawn was the only series I collected. I've heard rumors they're doing a reboot with the same actors. Here's hoping.
Now here's a movie that could use a remake. It could be an incredible visual experience given today's tech.
They need to cast MJW *NOT JAIMIE FOXX*

When Image Comics and Spawn showed up, my love of art was reignited.
The artwork is amazing!
I love this movie. It's soo 90"s. and still entertaining. i can't ask for more. Its fun and I'll rewatch it every so often.

John Leguizamo was awesome and hilarious as The Violator on the movie 😂
I am a huge fan of this character. Love everything Spawn. Thank you for this.

John Leguizamo was the best part of the movie. Always cracked up at his lines and antics
The Spawn comic was some of the first comics I read outside of Marvel and DC.
Love the spawn film! I actually met Marten Sheen on a elevator. Great down to earth man!
When I was a kid this was one of my favorite movies !!! Was super dope to see spawn make an appearance in MK 11...
I remember saving my birthday money and my dad taking me to Walmart to buy this game on Xbox when I was around ten years old. Gooooood times
I really enjoyed Spawn when it came out. Was dark and gritty. Something that later comic book movies would do. Being one of the first it does often get overlooked.
I adored this movie. Spawn has one of the coolest, most interesting power sets I've ever seen.
This movie and Micheal Jai's performance in Universal Soldier made me a huge fan of him.
Thought I was the only person still interested in this series. Glad it’s staying alive! We do need a reboot!
This movie definitely need a remake
You got me with that Uncle Rodger drop. LOVED IT!
Right on!
One thing the Spawn movie absolutely nailed was the costume. It looks incredible.
The movie’s real villain was the 90s cgi.
Man I had a great time in the theaters watching this of my second year of high school it was great
Despite its flaws, spawn is a guilty pleasure of mine.
Restricted by the technology of the day.
Would be cool if they remade it.

One of my favorite movies next to Constantine.... SPAWNNNNN!!!!! Can't wait for the remake! 🎥
And Spawn will forever be in development hell
This movie MUST have a reboot! It has so much potential!
YES!!! I'VE BEEN WAITING FOREVER FOR A SPAWN VIDEO!!!
idc how bad the movie was... I grew up watching it and love it still till this day lol.
You have one of the best youtube channels I've come across in the past 10 years. Easily top 10.
Thanks Sean!
Doctor Strange: Come to me Cloak of Levitation.
Spawn: cute.
hehe
That emotional damage include was perfect!
I was not expecting that EMOTIONAL DAMAGE
The surprise adds to the EMOTIONAL DAMAGE!

A bed?? What do you mean?
@@Sandman_Slim He was going to shapeshift into someone's bed and when they at least expect it, he kills the victim. Sounds ridiculous.
@@shainewhite2781 Was he drinking paint when he came up with that idea?
@@Sandman_Slim I think he was. Lol!

John Leguizamo screaming "see ya at Wanda's " as he flies through the air from a rig exploding was always fucking hilarious!
I remember seeing this in theaters and being BLOWN AWAYYY!!!
Lookin forward to every drop

Glad you enjoyed it!
I took my then young nephew to se Spawn in the theater, he was like 15, maybe his first rated R film... He's in his really late 30s now, I'm still the coolest uncle
Spawn, it's like a guilty pleasure. It's lacking in many areas but still brings a smile to your face.
That uncle insert had me rollin
The most underrated comic book movie of all time it was so good I actually went to go see it back to back the same night at the movies!
Always love your videos. Would love to see you do one on Meteor Man (1993). Would make my year. Thanks for all you do!
Great suggestion!
Criminally underrated movie. Look at that beautiful billowing living cape.
Man bringing up good memories of watching this when I was 9 or 10 with my uncle.
Been waiting for a sequel since I was a kid
Spawn is a total blast. I admit most of my memories are of the animated HBO series but the movie is still good too. I think the suit still looks pretty cool and I don't like a lot of new CGI... the hell scenes are pretty terrible though hahahaha!
Always look forward to your videos, thanks!
"Emotional Damage" that killed me
When I was a kid, this movie blew my mind
Outstanding video as always thanks!🙂👍
So nice of you
@@filmcomicsexplained 🙂👍👍
Spawn is one of the coolest character designs I've ever seen
Spawn is such a beast in the comics! He waged a war against heaven and hell!
It’s a movie you turn your brain off and enjoy! Love the movie!
obscurity?! this is an absolute treasure! 👌
and Hey kids! the violator?! Thats Bruno! you know...we don't talk about Bruno! 😆🤘
Watching this as a child, spawn became one of my favorite dark heroes movies.
Spawn deserves a proper reboot.
All I watched Growing up was Spawn and Blade. Just badass movies.
That first “emotional damage” was golden 😂
I loved the movie as a kid still do as an adult..wish It could be rebooted with technology available now the movie would look amazing
Another highly underrated film, from a very popular comic series.
Still love this 90's gem.
Fun movie.
This movie scared me as a kid in the 90s.. 90s movies had a certain vibe about them, I miss that vibe.
So glad I own the animated series.
I still love the cape from the irl movie tho. Still so beautiful. Spawn has been a favorite since I was a little girl

3:24 Steven He is a comedic treasure.
Since the release, i was hoping for a sequel
highly recommend the comics, some great writing in there. and the ending is fantastic and fitting!
Totally agree!
Spawn is such underrated comic book series. It deserves a much better live-action adaptation.
The best thing about spawn was the soundtrack, my god it was good !
I grew up on this film, yes the graphics now a days as you said are comical but for 1997 it was 🤩. I still love this movie
I used to be big into spawn as a little kid. I still think this time was the best time for hero movies. My favorites are from here.
Fucking A yes I fucking love spawn and I grew up on him ! Plus this live action spawn movie takes me back to my childhood.
Wasn’t expecting the emotional damage meme, that got me good😂🤣
Soundtrack is awesome
Spawns guest appearance in Mortal Kombat was also wonderful
I love this channels videos so much!
Glad you like them!
The Violator gives Joker a run for his money!
Gotta hand it to Macfarlane, Spawn is a really cool idea that you can do a lot with
I frigin lovvvvved spawn as a kid! Still do, I really hope they do a redo of the movie!
Frank Welker is awesome as Malbolgia, one of the seven rulers of Hell or the ruler of the seven realms.
I loved this movie when it dropped. I need to give it another watch.
I love those movies from 90s...
