Michael Jai White is not a fan of the film : " There is no footage of me ever saying that I liked Spawn . I have never said that I thought that was a good movie " John Leguizamo commented on the film : " The thing that Todd McFarlane brought to the comic book industry , which he saved in the early 1990s , was the edge . The darkness , the vulgarity , the violence . I think the movie would have profited for more violence , more vulgarity and being darker . Let it be truer to the comics .
