.com The third chapter of this compelling HBO miniseries answers a number of questions: namely, who is the omnipotent old man who hides in the shadows and why is the mysterious Asian reporter (Jade) investigating the alley murders? Spawn has reached a crossroads, and he must choose between the forces of darkness and light. But it's not clear-cut: Al (Spawn) must deliberate over the seemingly minor differences that separate heaven and hell in his world. As a former assassin for the NSA, he "opened the eyes of hell" with his iniquitous deeds of depravity, therefore his journey to hell was preordained. But this particular section of the series intriguingly asks, What if you had no choice, and killing was not just the only way out of a squeeze but was also your fate? Intellectual stuff indeed. But as with the rest of the series, a profound metaphysical puzzle is bought to the fore without justifying it with an answer. Spawn can be frustrating in this way--just when you think you have it all figured out, the creators throw a mysterious curve ball that brings you back to square one. This doesn't take anything away from the overall enjoyment of the story--in fact it enhances it, for it keeps you firmly planted in your chair, pondering conundrum after conundrum. Once again, Keith David lends his haunting baritone vocalizations to the supernatural, tortured voice of Spawn. --Jeremy Storey

Extremely Dark Third Season
The movie was one of the worst I had seen in my life. I did not have high hope for the animated series but I was very much surprised. The dialogue and, bizzarly enough, the acting are a hundred times as good as the film and the plot and characters are also much more intriguing.This is the third season of Spawn and it just seems to be getting darker and darker. But the one thing I can be sure of from this is that it's going to have one hell of a send-off when the entire story finally climaxes.I'd start watching this if I were you. But be prepared. The violence is quite graphic and the overall tone of the stories ranges from kiddie fiddlers to satanic demons. Needless to say, it's not a cartoon for kids. It's an animated series for adults.The DVD is in full screen format, as originally drawn and is in Dolby 2.0 surround.

Arrival was on time. No issues with packaging nor the disc. Very pleased with my purchase.
Since I am a fan of Todd McFarlane's Spawn and could not find Spawn 3 Animated anywhere in local stores, I've ordered this copy of Spawn 3 from Amazon. Upon inspection on the day of arrival 2 days ago, I didn't find any issues with the packaging nor did I not find any scratches on the disc at all. I've finished watching this movie on my computer and it ran perfectly all-throughout without any issues. I am very pleased with my purchase, especially since this movie was in a near-pristine condition.

SPAWN SEASON 3! BUT BEWARE The Packaging ERROR!
This show is great. I would recommend you buy the complete series DVD instead of this one, unless like me you already had Season 1 and/or 2. If you buy this one, DON'T MAKE THE SAME MISTAKE I DID! When you open it up the disc facing toward you says side B (yes this is from the days when DVD's were double sided), So i said to myself, thats not right, I want side A first...I missed half the movie/show before I realized what an idiot I was.

Great series, worst menu ever
This third season of the animated Spawn is more of the good stuff - its dark, compelling and interesting. The ending has obviously got a 4th season in mind, which is not going to happen as far as I know. I highly recommend all three seasons of Spawn.Do be aware that the menu for this disc is the worst design ever in the history of ever. On my player (a PS II):a) it defaults to the commentary, not the normal sound for the film. Fix this by scrolling through to "Languages", but note you have to do this every time you put the disc in the player.b) the menu starts at "Play movie" and an arrow. Use the arrow to move to the next menu option. You then have to wait for the music to play, stop and then start again. Once its done that you can access that option or scroll through further.Immense pain, terrible design. BUT its Spawn and its excellent content, so love the disc, hate the menu.

hero for heroes
The product was exactly as described. I've been waiting for this DVD to become available on BlockBuster and Netflix for over a year. Now with this movie my Spawn movie collection is complete. The shipping was adequate and the price was outstanding. I'll be looking to Amazon for more of my slow release BB and Netflix DVDs. Very smooth transaction.

Wanda! Wanda! Wanda!
the show was on HBO, it could have been as graphic as the comic, but nooooooooooooo it had to be a complaining Spawn, the fighting scenes? please, the only reason i gave it 3 stars is because i like Spawn, and $9.99 is a great price for this product, and i had to get the collection, but its still on the shelf after just viewing it once

The greatest animated series I have ever seen.
This is the greatest animated series I have ever seen. It's dark, with a lot of blood and gore, violence, sexual content, nudity, and definitely NOT for children. I highly recommend it, and i agree with some of the other reviews, they should've made a 4th season.
O**S
And lo there shall be and ending
The conclusion. Spawn comes to a dramatic realization about his life. If you read recent issues of the comic, you know that not only did he deserve hell,he did not deserve Wanda. Don't believe me? Read the book. I digress. It was a great movie with unbeatable animation. NOT FOR CHILDREN.
