Me and my friend saw it yesterday and it reminds me of Diablo II a lot. For some reason.

You think it MAY be the fact that the main character is a devilish looking creature?

i saw it with some friends. It was alright. I wasn't into the comic book...so it was a new experience for me. It was kinda predictable....and although I know a lot was taken from the comics...i felt like the story line didn't have as cool of appeal as say...turtles or spider man.

It didn't do it for me as much as some of the other comic book based movies have.

In fact...it reminded me of like the last batman with george clooney...

Saw it. I thought it was really well done. It's the closest a movie as come to adapting the comic it's based on perfectly. The CGI was really good, especially Liz's fire and Hellboy getting tossed around. The story was good, it had alot of homages in it (The Corpse and Pancakes anyone?) The ending fight was a little short, but there was alot of action in the movie overall to make up for it.

Pearlman nailed Hellboy to a t as well. He like, is Hellboy. David Hyde Peirce was a raelly good choice for Abe's voice as well, it really matched him, and Selma Blair was a good Liz. Hurt was the perfect Bruttonholm too, he looked and acted exactly like he did in the comics.

Overall I give it a 7.5/10.

what's so bad about going alone to the pictures? i mean, after all you have to be quet all the time, so there ain't no time fer talking anyways....

and what do you mean by "that guy"?

*Brodie* · 04-03-2004, 08:24 PM

I just hope my review for Dawn of The Dead made it some money, and the Punisher, depending on how good it is, will make some money and we'll get good sequels.

*cqb101* · 04-03-2004, 09:01 PM

Saw it yesterday, and it was easily the best comic film I've seen(So pretty much the best comic film period)

Mikey the Party Turtle · 04-03-2004, 09:02 PM

I loved this movie. It's what Spider-Man should've been. (Don't get me wrong, I loved Spider-Man, but the love story REALLY dragged it down.) Fun, exciting, fantastic characters and an involving plot. This will be the closet thing to an Evil Dead/Ghostbusters movie for a long time. (Ron as Hellboy was perfect. IMO, his performance is Oscar-worthy, though knowing the academy, they will totally ignore this gem.

)

Too bad Abe wasn't in there for long, he was fantastic.

On a whole, I'd give the movie an 8.5 to a 9.0. (It feel's like it's over too soon, some wire-work was iffy and a few things were not explained very well for non-Hellboy fans.)

(I absolutly loved seeing Roger's "Cameo" and the little girl talking about Santa Clause.

PAMCAKES!)

*cqb101* · 04-03-2004, 10:19 PM

Even with the little screen time he had, I think ABe was my favorite character in the movie. I hope he has a much bigger part in the sequel.

Depends. If Del Toro based the sequel on say, Conqueror Worm, Abe wouldn't be in there since he wasn't in that arc...though I hope they make an original story with Mike.

*Brodie* · 04-03-2004, 10:51 PM

I keep seeing Hellboy stuff on Tv, and its taunting.

There was a thing on VH1, Best Week Ever or whatever, and this guy was like

"It sucks because Ron is a great actor but he sits down to read a script and it says 'Cue the creepy demented looking gorilla man'...and he's left to think "I guess that's me...""

CookSux · 04-03-2004, 11:50 PM

Just saw the movie... It was ok, but I didn't know what to expect since I never read the comics. Unlike some of you, I thought it was a little too long. And seeing the guy from Arrested Development, kinda blah.

MTN889 · 04-04-2004, 01:13 AM

I like hellboy better with full horns.

*Voltron* · 04-04-2004, 02:39 AM

IT WAS GREAT!! KORENEN WAS A F*CKING MANIAC!! IT WAS RIDICULOUS!!!

I was in you're position Brodie. No one around wanted to see it; yet I guilted my girlfriend into going.

I guess my only quarrel was that they had Hell Boy fight some other stuff.

Ya, evil Hellboy is pretty cool, but he doesn't really do or say anything.

WrestlingTurtlesFan4Life · 04-04-2004, 08:56 AM

Well me and Sean saw the movie on Friday and we've never read the comic. When I saw the commercials, I said "Lets go see Hellboy. It looks cool.". Well it was cool. Pretty funny too.

Brodie, you need a girl like me. I knew nothing about Marvel Comics and we saw those Marvel movies anyway, Sean just says "Lets go see it." and I figure "Why not?". It's something to do together. I hate Ashton Kutcher but we saw The Butterfly Effect anyway. I thought Hellboy was Marvel also but when we went to the comics store, I looked at one of Hllboys comics and it said "Dark Horse.". It was alot like the Marvel movies anyway.
