Even though the ratings were pretty weak, I still wanted to check this one out. I mean, come on, the material was actually pretty interesting. Indeed, here you have a cool super-hero , a cool moody poster, a cool lead actor... Wait a minute... Let me see, who is the lead actor...Michael Jai White... Who the f*ck is that ? Ah yeah! I know, he got killed by the Joker in the Dark Knight!! What a perf... read more

Hey, remember when this was roughly as good as we could hope to get with comic book movies? I do, and thank god the days of Spawn and its far too numerous ilk are long behind us. If anything, Spawn should remain in the 90s when its hardcore, edgy aesthetic was the norm in the medium, and has simply aged poorly.   It comes roaring out the gate with a poorly rendered CG introduction that provides... read more

Leatherface vs. (126 movies items)

"Spawn Spawn would overwhelmingly defeat Leatherface in a battle. While Leatherface is a physically imposing human slasher with a chainsaw, Spawn is a demonic anti-hero with vast supernatural powers, making this an extremely one-sided fight. Spawn vs. Leatherface Breakdown: Powers & Abilities: Spawn (Al Simmons) possesses superhuman strength, near-indestructible necroplasmic armor, flight, teleportation, shapeshifting, and control over hellish chains and magic. is essentially a strong,"

Chucky vs. (129 movies items)

"Spawn Will Spawn send Chucky to Hell? Outcome: Massive Power Gap: Spawn has defeated planetary-tier threats and entities like Malebolgia who destroyed billions of dimensions. Chucky, while persistent, is often defeated by children and regular humans in physical combat. Anti-Voodoo and Soul Magic: Spawn specializes in soul attacks and manipulation. Since Chucky’s existence depends on a voodoo-bound soul, Spawn could likely erase or reclaim Charles Lee Ray's spirit directly from the plas"

Pumpkinhead vs. (132 movies items)

"Spawn Will Spawn send him to Hell? Spawn dominates Pumpkinhead in a fight due to superior cosmic power, shapeshifting abilities, and arsenal. While Pumpkinhead is a relentless demonic force of vengeance, he is largely restricted to physical slashing and supernatural resilience, whereas Spawn acts with free will and can manipulate hellish energy to destroy powerful entities. Spawn vs. Pumpkinhead Comparison: Power Level: Spawn is a high-level Hellspawn capable of battling cosmic beings."

Pop Culture Phenomenon Films: 90’s (1930 movies items)

" Based on the comic book series, by Todd MacFarlane, about Al Simmons who comes back from Hell, becomes Spawn. He must beat a evil demon lord, and prevent Armageddon from taking place. Fans who wanted a darker, grittier Spawn, instead got a special effects film, complete with John Leguizamo as a evil farting, demon clown. But hey, at least there was the soundtracks? The film, featured a earlier performance by Melinda Clarke, and a soundtrack that featured songs by Sneaker Pimps, Filter, The "

Movies I watched in July 2020 (50 movies items)

" Date: 7/3/2020 Viewed: Blu-Ray Re-Watch Note: I decided to rewatch this movie because Spawn has recently got a resurgence in popularity thanks to him being in a guest fighter in Mortal Kombat 11 and the comic has broken a new world record for longest-running creator own comic. I have always been neutral about this movie because I don't hate it as most people do and I don't love it. This movie is pretty bad and I will never defend it as a good movie, but I have a lot of nostalgia for it. I r"
