Hellboy

Mikey the Party Turtle · 03-19-2004, 11:50 PM

I can't wait to see this flick, the comic book kicks so much ass. Too bad it's getting alot of bad rep considering that there might be a sequel with rumour going 'round that Bruce Campbell might be being eyed for a role....

*Stone Ill* · 03-19-2004, 11:53 PM

Bruce Campbell kicks ass!

But besides that, I think that Hellboy might be pretty good.

*Voltron* · 03-20-2004, 12:50 AM

I'll see it

I'm skeptical, but it looks pretty good from the previews. I don't expect much from movies anymore, though.

*That Matt Guy* · 03-20-2004, 07:17 AM

I never read the comics, or books, or whatever. What is the deal with this dude?

That's got to be the coolest thing I have ever seen.

That's Kroenen, he was part of the group that summoned Hellboy to Earth for the Third Reich (to try to turn the tide of the war in the closing days)

I'll definetly see it, I'm a huge Hellboy fan, and the movie looks really good.

Yes, he wasn't a huge part of Hellboy either. They just greatly expanded his character for the movie. (Though those blades do look kick ass.)

I have gotten extremely lucky since I have a nearby library that carries Wake the Devil, Right Hand of Doom and Chained Coffin and Others.

*Brodie* · 03-20-2004, 11:27 AM

I'm seeing this movie, it looks so good. Ron Pearlman is so badass. And it would be cool if Bruce was in it too. Either would be good. Both are B movie gods.

*Raven* · 03-20-2004, 11:45 AM

this is movie i really want to see, i havent read the comic thhough.

Yeah, he was mostly their for visuals. He had a small part in...Wake the Devil I think. He looks totally badass in the movie, I'm glad they made him a bigger character.

*Krutch* · 03-20-2004, 12:46 PM

Bruce Campbell's my favorite actor. But Hellboy seems rather silly....

I'll still see it and pick it p on DVD though. I'm a sucker for super hero movies

i HATE the Hulk and still bought it on DVD...

*Brodie* · 03-20-2004, 12:48 PM

Hellboy will probably be better than the Blade movies...and Spider-Man.

It seems like one of the better comic flicks. You can tell a lot of effort and heart was put into this flick by watching the interviews previews.

**Barkworm** · 03-20-2004, 02:11 PM

The previews look very good, maybe I'll goo see it.

Yep, Magolia(sp) said that the film is closer to the comics than he would have dreamed.

CookSux · 03-20-2004, 07:11 PM

I dunno, looks kinda cheese to me.

Yeah, it looks pretty interesting, at least from what I've seen in the trailers and on the Best Buy preview disc. Will I rush out to see it on opening day? Nah, probably not (may try to download an advance screener though

), but I might make it to the theater at some point, and I'll definitely give it a look when it hits dvd. I'm not familiar with the comics, so maybe I'll give them a look too -- I'm sure there will be a movie adaptation comic (if there isn't one already), so maybe I should look for that. The Blade II movie adaptation convinced me not to waste my time seeing the movie in theaters -- and when I finally got around to watching it, I was glad that I hadn't. That flick made me want to punch stuff.

And Kroenen does look badass...but what's up with all the Nazi stuff? I'm tired of Nazi villains. The Nazis were villains, yes, but Hitler's agenda (and beliefs, and person) were a lot more complicated than these one (or maybe two) dimensional comic/cartoon/movie bad guys make them out to be. Bloody hell.

I doubt there will be a comic book adaption. I haven't heard any news on one, and the movie is faithful enough to the comics that they're close enough. Plus it seems only Marvel/DC try to cash in on that. (Comics inspires movie, inspires comic...a viscious cirlce indeed)

Nazi's are in there because in the comics they summoned Hellyboy to Earth, and they were treated as more then one dimensional comics.

Hellboy: "Hey, hey! Second date? No tongue!"

It is more complicated, but if you want true to life Third Reich ideolgies in movies like this don't hold your breath.
