John Leguizamo destroyed SPAWN. He made his demon seem homosexual. It was hard to find him anything but obnoxious, even when he was shooting for gross/intimidating. I don't know his personal perforance (& really couldn't care less), but to render a patheticly gender confused character as a demon clown (reminded me of that notorious pediphile that was executed). Just nuke the dude & move on to something interesting. If he had to pattern someone, he should've considered a Jack Nickolson (cross between "Batman" & "Shining").
And shallow script was thinner than 2D. It made think fondly of 50s horror films (including the digital monster). Afterall, there was plenty of time to do just about anything between steps along the so-called plot's regression. It was a great concept that looked like it died in committee ... one of those too many chiefs phenomena.

Uh..... I think you might be bringing some of your own baggage to the table here.
And even if he *was* a gay demon - so what? What's wrong with that?
PS - Relax, it's only a movie.

  reread, I explained the problem thoroughly unless your baggage prevented you from understanding the 1st time.

    Have you ever played tennis with a crappy partner? It's no fun at all. You hit the ball, then wait for the return that never comes. Kind of like this thread.
    Well, time to make the donuts.

      I'm glad you've learned to fry dough & please leave the poor attempts at personal flames in the kitchen.
