Spawn

One of those comic book adaptations that just didn't quite work Spawn is still not without it's bright spots, one in particular being John Leguizamo as Clown/Violator. His over the top performance is somewhat unique and without it this film would have been an utter disaster. Martin Sheen is all but wasted here but we do get some fine action from the lovely Melinda Clarke and Hollywood vocal master Frank Welker gets some good air time. The special effects are about as good as they could be considering the year but the script was just horrid and they should have let creator Todd McFarlane, who has a nice cameo as a street person, take a crack at it because he couldn't have done any worse. It really comes down to SPAWN being one for the die hards as I doubt it would interest too many others.
