Five years after he was murdered by his own colleagues in a covert government operation, Al Simmons makes a pact with the devil to be resurrected so that he may see his wife Wanda once more. In return for the favor, the devil requires, in typically Faustian fashion, that Simmons lead Hell's Army for the destruction of humankind. Blessed in life with extraordinary killing skills, Simmons is even more deadly with the backing of his new master and the changling powers he has at his disposal. As he begins to discover and exercise his new strengths, he encounters two figures who direct him to use his powers in order to serve two different agendas. Cogliostro encourages Spawn to fight the devil and become a new champion for humankind, while Clown goads Spawn into continuing to serve his new master and lead the Armageddon.

Exceptionally dreary, noisy nonsense that shows the cinema of mindless sensation at its worst: it makes little narrative sense, displays no imagination in its repetitive action sequences, and is peopled by uninteresting characters.
"...A satisfying rendition of the comic's essence....The movie belongs to Jai White, whose eyes, voice and movements lock the audience into his heart and struggle..."
This is one of the worst films I have ever had the misfortune to watch, my advice is stay away and don't waste your time or money on this.
