Hellboy

[sabin26]

Here is the first Hellboy image:

http://www.superherohype.com/news/may03/hellboy.jpg

It's looks good and I hope that the movie rocks.

[Jarbacca]

i'm not a fan of the book, so can someone tell me what those corks on his head are supposed to be?

awesome pic by the way

[sabin26]

The "corks" on his head are his sawed off horns. Hellboy saws them off to keep them short. A great place to find some news on Hellbody is the official movie site here (http://www.sonypictures.com/movies/hellboy/hellsite/)

[necronon99]

corks.............
thats funny

GDT will come with it
hes all warmed up from Blade 2

[Alexander JL]

I thought they were giant corks too...

He just looks like a drunkard who fell into one too many gutters...

[Omac]

I hope that´s just a in-development stage make-up pic.

Cause it´s not THERE yet.

[sniktawt]

I think he looks very Mignola-ish and he looks pretty good.

[morpheus1987]

I think he looks pretty good

[uncle monty]

im stoked.

[PapaGeorgioSmrf]

5.....4.....3....2.....1.....(corks fly out) HAPPY NEW YEAR......i know lame, gotta try though

[spiderman_2k]

http://66.227.101.70/contrib/edoom/iamwithstupid.gifLOL very lame indeed :D

[Jarbacca]

Here's 2 new pics from hellboy

http://www.sonypictures.com/movies/hellboy/hellsite/images/sapien_photo.jpg

[Fanible]

I think it looks very good. Some people may think they look corny, but they're near identical to the way he looks in the comic books. Perfect real-life adaption.

[Phil Parma]

That make up is incredible. And I thought they were corks too....

[Hitman]

I don't know **** about Hellboy but some of those pics are pretty badass. I just want to know, who's the actor that's playing him and what's that "fish" looking character on the 3rd pic? Hellboy would look a lot cooler if he didn't saw off his horns, btw.

[Warlock of Pain]

ron pearlman plays hellboy and that pic is awesome. dont know fish dude.

[necronon99]

these picks are very impressive
i saw a few at chud that blew me away too
i look forward to this one indeed

[Jarbacca]

the fish dude looks like Keanau Reeves :funny:

[Warlock of Pain]

that alien dude's name is Abesapian. He is good. I believe this is a spoiler.

[PapaGeorgioSmrf]

wow this looks like an awesome movie, it'll be cool to see how it turns out, if cork man and fish face look this good i wanna see what everything else looks like

[necronon99]

new footage online
made me drool for this one

You need to include links when you say stuff like this. Not that finding it for myself is a problem, it's just a little more convenient.

[Jarbacca]

theres footage online?

is it finished or production footage

links?

[Fanible]

Theres nothing on the site, so im more curious now.

Unless he's talking about the interview footage. *shrugs

[Jarbacca]

hmm, if there is stuff online i'm sure SHH would have posted it

[necronon99]

sorry AICN

[necronon99]

its only 10 seconds but man it kills

[Jarbacca]

i'll check it out

[necronon99]

ive said it before his work on blade 2 shows the vision will be on point for this film

happy days

[Macbane]

does anyone know what the plot of the movie is gonna be? i remember reading somewhere that it wasn't going to be based on any of the comics, but a new story.

[sniktawt]

I know some have seen this new poster.I'll post it in case some haven't.
This kinda kills the movie now for me .It looks kinda lame in a Power Rangers Kind of way.

It looked great till I seen this.Too cheesy.

http://images.comicbookresources.com/c2f/hb_posterbad.jpg

[Hitman]

Nooooooooooooooooo! Snik it's not showing up.

[sniktawt]

It should be working now, it's showing on mine.

[sniktawt]

This however looks fantastic.I hope that the villains look better on screen than in that above pic.

http://superherohype.com/gallery/Hellboy/The_Movie/Movie_Stills/hellboyaug11.jpg

[Hitman]

Yeah that pic with the villains wasn't all too impressive. Hellboy & friends remain badass though.

[sniktawt]

They should have made the villains a bit more menacing, o well, it still seems like it'll be a kick ass film.Hope it's not another LXG.

[PapaGeorgioSmrf]

i thought LXG was really good, and i know a lot of people who think the same thing.

these pictures look pretty good, i dont know about that girl with the flame hand thing, she bugs me, the actress that is, isnt that the same chick from cruel intentions, i think shes nutty

[Hitman]

Nutty? Watchu talkin bout PapaGeorgio?

[necronon99]

bad guys look silly but the heros


oh justice

[sniktawt]

The Heroes look great!!!
Villains I hope come off cooler on screen than they are in the pic.

[necronon99]

they will i bet

This project looks better the more i see it

[sniktawt]

Yeah , I can't wait!!

[bjgroves91]

Ron Pearlman will rock as Hellboy

[Quint]

That he will

I bumped this so Hopefully a mod will see that there is a few the same and merge them.

[cg124]

sorry about the other thread. I even did a search and it didn't show another hellboy thread so thats why i made a thread. I asked a mod to combine my thread with this thread

[sniktawt]

I still think the villains look like crap though.

[cg124]

you should look at his new pic at the offical site

http://www.sonypictures.com/movies/hellboy/site/index_flash.html

[sniktawt]

yeah they look better there but the teaser poster above depicts them as Power Ranger Villains IMO.

[cg124]

That teaser poster wasn't innish though. But yeah now he looks cool. In the poster he looks like crap

[sniktawt]

That Poster was finished, CG.
They had the exact same one in the theatre that I go to.

[ILOVEKATIE]

I like that poster, it has "cool" writing all over it.

[cg124]

Here it is everybody the first hellboy Trailer!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

enjoy.

[FilmJerk]

SWEET!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[cg124]

I loved the trailer and also it's not a teaser trailer. Man i can't wait for this movie. I don't think the CGI is complete yet but it didn't look bad. I'm so seeing this next year.

[Colorado Cajun]

the trailer is wicked!!

I can't wait for this film now! I was going to see it anyways but man it looks bad ass

[Garnet Spring]

Holy Crap! that's one of the best trailers I've ever seen!:eek:
I can't wait for this movie, but what did I expect from the guy who brought us BladeII? This has to be good...or GREAT.

[simonsays]

Okay I admit it.

I thought the movie was gonna be crap ( after some really dodgy conversions in recent years ).

I've just seen the trailer.

I now think the movie is gonna be awesome.

I REALLY can't wait.

P.S. I'm new and English so go easy on me.

[Madness]

Ha, new and English!! That's classic!!...

Anyways, yah, this trailer looks friggen awesome, and who'da thunk Hellboy would look so accurate?? He looks huge and without CGI, so much for Hulk!! This definitly looks like it's going to shame out the comic movie trend by showing them how it's friggen done already!!! More power to ya kiddies!!

[Tony Montana]

Guillermo deo Toro seems to have made great job with this one!!!

Trailer was ****ing awesome! Im sure the movie will have many changes until final release, so Spiderman and the rest of the gang will have to come up with some real heavy **** in order to top Hellboy!


EDIT:

Guillermo deo Toro said :

"30% of the effects in the trailer are final for the movie. We wanted to show enough to be a teaser, but in general for the thirty second spot for the Super Bowl, we're going to put in a lot of the bigger, more elaborate effects that I'm working on now."

Its not even half finished and it already looks amasing!!!!

[sabin26]

IMO, I think Hellboy is going to blow the rest of the comic book movies out of the water. I also think that this will be the biggest underdog because he isn't a big name character like Spider-man, I think word of mouth is really going to help this movie out.

[ILOVEKATIE]

I can't see the trailer, yahoo! sucks, I guess I'll have to wait till Monday to see it on Quicktime.
Well, atleast it sounded good.

[Kris Hodgson]

Yes, the trailer was WICKED! I'm really psyched now.

[Baadshah]

i don't like Hellboy's voice, it doesn't sound like a person from hell

[cg124]

[Baadshah]

god damn Selma Blair is hot, the perfect Lois Lane. But still i have Hellboy's voice, not HELLy enough

[Colorado Cajun]

It's Ron Perlman his voice is damn good imo. Plus he's just frickin cool as hell

[Baadshah]

i expected something deeper for someone from Hell

[Crazy_Slasher]

It looks really incredible!:applaud:

I love Dimmu Borgir and I am quite stoked it was in the trailer!:applaud:

[downflow311]

this looks really stupid. i laughed when i saw the trailer. hellboy looks like a looney tunes character or something.

[Baadshah]

it's the voice

[Dogbert0228]

Wow. I know very little about the comic book (okay, nothing at all) but this film looks great. Certainly on par with Blade II, if not better. Something to look forward to next year... It's been a few months since I've seen a good comic book film, and Hellboy will hold us over nicely, very nicely, until Spider-Man 2 a month or two later...

[Tony Montana]

Now bashing the movie because his voice doesnt sound like from hell (never heard anyone from hell talking, so I cant judge about that...) is just too much... The writter and maker of Hellboy comic was on the set ALL the time and EVERYTHING was done the way HE ment it to be or imagined how it would be...

[cg124]

Thats good to hear. we need more writers and maker of the comic to be on the movies set to make it a more faithful addaption. And Baadshah i don't think hellboy really is supose to sound like Helly. And if the writers of the comic book wanted to have his voice like that they would have said something.

[sniktawt]

I still think the characters look like they stepped off of a Power Rangers Set IMO.

This will be about as good as LXG was IMO.
I love Mike Mignola's work and Hellboy is his greatest character so I hope it will kick ass, But from that trailer this looks like a Run-Of-The-Mill Comic Book Film, IMO.Doesn't look special and Way too many characters.
Hellboy comes off way too cheesy and he shouldn't.
That trailer was a big time disappointment.

And I also feel The voice is all wrong.It should be more amplified.IMO.Pearlman is cool as **** but his voice was always his downfall.

[Tonkpils]

Yeah the Hellboy trailer was VERY dissapointing, exactly what i said after i saw it was LXG.

[JackBauer]

looks lame IMO

[sniktawt]

Sad to say this but I agree, On the basis of that trailer it looks lame.

[downflow311]

it has rental flick all over it. these comic book movies are getting to be too much. the market is saturated by them at the moment. people will pass on a movie like this and wait for spider-man 2.

[sniktawt]

Yeah This will totally flake at the box-Office.
Quite a few on here seem to think it will be great but I know a few people who also think this will be The Mortal Kombat of 2004.lol.
It's sad But I have no interest anymore in even seeing this film.:(

[Tony Montana]

Saying that while the movie is at 30%... we'll see about that when it is done, I like the trailer and I really dont think that Guillermo would mess this one up, he is too good for that.

And what exactly does Box Office has to do with the quality of the movie... remember Equilibrium? There are many really good movies that dont make much money, and there are movies like "Scary Movie 3"....

[sniktawt]

Box-Office means Respect.
And If a comic adapted film flops then all the respect that X-Men and Spider-Man gave the genre gets thrown out the window and the comic adapated film gets viewed as a joke again.

[Tony Montana]

Daredevil was a joke...

There are too many comic adaptations, they are trying to make as much money as they can before people get bored...

Blade was great, The Crow was great...

As I already said, Box-Office means nothing for the quality, just for good marketing.

[sniktawt]

Daredevil was a fantastic movie.IMO.

It also had respectful box-office and a decent story and a Great Villain In Bullseye.

[Tony Montana]

It sucked in every aspect IMO except for Bullseye. He was the only reason I rented that one...

[Colorado Cajun]

Daredevil was an excellent film imo
everyone played their roels quite well and the script was superb

[sniktawt]

I agree Cajun.Daredevil was great.

And I'm not really bashing Hellboy, I just felt the trailer wasn't that great and like Tony said if it's only 30% done then there's room for improvement.
I love the Hellboy comics and I really hope the film does the comics justice.

[Sculder]

I liked the trailer. And I think that Spiderman trailers(with Green) looked more like Power Rangers that this movie. I will see this.

[Malitos_Sahkir]

Hellboy is one of my favorite comics ( alongside Hellblazer and The Punisher ), and I know the film isn't going to be perfect. Don't get me wrong it won't turn out like L.X.G, but it will be good. What it's going to come down to is the proformances ( Ron Pearlman is bad ass, his voice get's on my nerves slightly though. It's too cocky ), and how much S.F.X is being used.

[Tony Montana]

You can NEVER satisfy a comic fan...

[Malitos_Sahkir]

Originally posted by Tony Montana

Yes you can. But ( I am assumeing ) Hellboy is all new to you. Thus it looks awesome. Same feeling you get reading the comic for the first time. For us Fans of Hellboy, we know the Comic already and are seeing things in the Adaption that are wrong. Now whether it will be a good wrong or a bad wrong will be decided on Memorial Day next year.

[Tony Montana]

You have to see the movie first to judge about that, it was only a trailer of an 30% finished movie...

Yes, it looks awesome to me.

And no, you obviously didnt get what I was saying. If you are really a true fan of a comic book, you will never be satisfied with the adaptation of it! There will always be things that you will not like, the best thing you could say is that it was good, but never perfect.

[Jack Of Hearts]

I think the film is more than 30% finished BTW.
Why would you think it was?

[sniktawt]

I thought the same way.

Why is Tony saying it's 30% finished ?
They wrapped filming back in Early 2003.
Right there that means 50% done.

I'm sure they did a lot of pre production by now.

[JackBauer]

i realy don't care about box office and other people reviews, i want to see the movie for myself.
the crow is IMO one of the greatest movies of all time and it wasn't a bo-hit...

and hellboy...im not sure yet, but imo this trailer suckd! ill rent it some day...

edit: i liked DAREDEVIL ;)

[sniktawt]

The Crow was the best comic adapted film ever and it WAS a box-office Hit.!!!!


Who said it wasn't ????

It was made on a modest 15 Million dollar budget and grossed 94 Million Worldwide.

Not to mention another 30 million in dvd /Video Rentel / sales world wide.
I think that makes it a hit.
It made back it's money and then some.
Plus it spawned 3 sequels and a TV series.

And Jack You're right, the Hellboy Trailer sucked.IMO.;)

[Tony Montana]

I was saying that because the effects and visuals are (were) only at 30% at the time they have brought out the trailer... Should have be kind of mix between teaser and trailer with unfinished sequences... There is much work ahead until the release date for Hellboy...

[sniktawt]

I don't think so , I think they may have to do a bit of polishing But I think it's pretty much in the can.

[Tony Montana]

I have read lots of inteviews from the crew and the effects werent done, and they are still working on them, while the visuals and cuts will be changed many many times till the date...

[sniktawt]

Well that's a good thing because I wasn't happy with that trailer.
It looked like it was put together by a bunch of school kids IMO.

[Martin Riggs]

The trailer sucked balls.

[JackBauer]

realy? i thought it was just average(@BO).
as much as i know, the movie wasn't a big hit here in switzerland...anyway...glad to hear that.
but the sequels suckd IMO, lets wait for "wicked prayer"

[Tyranic_Lord]

Well, I just got a look at the trailer and.....


well...


This movie doesn't look exciting at all. It screams out LXG. Just another comic book movie that's gonna flop at the box office. The costumes look so fake and alienish. And the CG doesn't look that great either.

Thumbs down.

[adnamasevoltam]

i just saw the trailer as well. while i know very little about Hellboy and cant properly defend him, this doesnt look promising to me as a whole - right now anyhow. i mean....the "main" character comes off as a supporting main character??? and the whole begining premise reminds me of MIB only dark power vs. aliens. i did think it LOOKED good graphics-wise, and i liked Hellboy. only time will tell i guess.

[cg124]

Heres the quicktime version of the trailer

well the CG isn't finnsihed yet so thats why it isn't great yet

[Rogue]

I watched the trailer and I think it looks great. I skimmed through the this thread too. I don't see anything wrong with his voice. I think it gives him attitude. The feel of the movie reminds me of LXG, but, I liked LXG. It looks interesting and I'm definitely going to give it a chance.

By the way, the scene in the trailer when Selma Blair's hands turn into blue flame..badass. :D

[Tyranic_Lord]

Originally posted by cg124

It's not just the CGI. And you must remember that special FX do not substitute for a good story and drama. This movie doesn't look very promising..but u never know, it may turn out good. We'll see soon enough.

[sniktawt]

It looks terrible IMO.

They better do some major tweaking to fix it quickly.

[Sims17]

This film looks great so far..........here's hoping......

[rosncranz]

i thought this movie looked really stupid when i saw the first pics, i just saw the trailer and i have to say that this movie looks so unbelievably bad! i will be sure to steer clear of this POS. i am kind of mad too because there has not been a real bad comic book movie adaptation yet and we all knew that there would be one soon it just sucks that has to be this POS!

[Highfire]

i think it looks great

[JackBauer]

i see no love in this picture:D

no, but seriously...i don't think its my style even though i like comics and adaptations.
but maybe it will surprise me...its just, the trailer suckd.

[sniktawt]

I agree, Jack, I love Comics but this trailer was so bad it ruined all my hopes I had for this film.

I'll still see it but I'll be skeptical.

One of the worst Trailers I have seen in the past 5 years.

I'm hoping this is a case of a Bad Trailer , Good Movie.

But I 'm not expecting much.

[JackBauer]

me neither.

maybe it sucks because the movie is unfinished, who knows

[JackBauer]

oh but this one suckes totally IMO

just ugly

http://images.countingdown.com/images/countdowns/movies/5142/1013/3247655_small.jpg

:lol:

Like I was saying since I first saw this Loser...
POWER RANGERS!!!!!!!!

[Tyranic_Lord]

Yeah, I agree. This movie is gonna be worse than Catwoman!

[sniktawt]

Damn Shame too, the comic was pretty good.

I'll still go see it, I dig a good comedy.

[Madness]

Yo, why you people ragging on this film already?!?! So far it looks to be the 1st good movie of 2004 and you peopl eare tearing into it. We could have another Daredevil, is that what you want!?!?! Well, IS IT!?!?! I didn't think so......

Also, you gotta remember the FX aren't finito on the trailer so at least wait until the next trailer before you guys start bashing it and protesting with pitchforks around City Hall until teh cops come and teh mayor comes out begging for some sort of sanity but in the comotion the mayor's shot and killed and the press around the movie explodes and it becomes a box office hit because of the publicity but then people would go, Öh, that only did well because of the publicity. It sucked compared to Daredevil."

NO!! Thats' where I draw the line!!! I mean, killing mayors is all in good fun but when it gets to Ben Affleck movies, don't test me!!! That kinda stuff I just won't tolerate., gawdammit!!!

kay, i'm done.....

[sniktawt]

Daredevil was a great movie.
Not faithful but a great action flick!!!

And if the effects weren't finished yet why the **** did they put the trailer out.

They should have waited and did it right.
Then people wouldn't be *****ing.

[Malitos_Sahkir]

Everyone loyal to the Comic is going to give it a chance, no matter how bad the trailer was. People who haven't read the Comic and dislike the Trailer have no reason to be skeptical. It was just a Trailer, and the SFX was only 30% finished.

Then people wouldn't be *****ing. Because, as you must not know, movie people are alot like normal people; They wait til the last minute for EVERYTHING!! Directors are perfectionists and procrastinators. Most of the time the movie isn't even fully edited/effected until the week of release.

And obviously, if they waited a week before the movie is released to hype up the movie they're gonna be destined for failure.....

But you already knew that.

[JackBauer]

hm...wtf? i realy liked daredevil...

i said this movie could surprise me...and maybe ill go and watch.
i also said that the trailer sucks and the "rasputin"-wallpaper(looks so crappy) and NOT the movie...im not ragging on the film as you can see!(but maybe on the trailer, yes)

read my posts exactly instead of overreacting(not only in this thread)

[Tony Montana]

Daredevil was one of the worst movies I have ever seen...

[Malitos_Sahkir]

I agree with Tony. First of all Kingpin is White. Second, Afflect was the wrong choice for Daredevil because in my opinion he portrayed him wrong, Daredevil has outburts and is very violent. The only part in the film where Afflect lost control felt forced. And lastly Garner was the worst mis-cast in the entire film. Oh, and I didn't know Daredevil could make jumps worthy of Spiderman.

If you noticed I said... Not faithful...

'nuff said!!!

[Jonah Hex]

Daredevil was great Hellboy will suck!!

[Wringlets]

The trailer was bad IMO.

[Hitman]

I saw the trailer and (even though I don't know much about Hellboy) well....shouldn't the tone be darker? I felt like I was watching previews to another action-comedy like say, The Phantom.

[Tyranic_Lord]

this movie is gonna FLOP, FLOP, FLOP!

cant wait to see this

where can i find the trailer to download?

[sniktawt]

HERE (http://www.apple.com/trailers/sony_pictures/hellboy/)

[sniktawt]

When I watched the trailer in High Resolution Full Screen and seen it at the Theatre, it's not as bad as I once said.
It's still not a good trailer but it doesn't suck as much as I once bashed it.

[Tony Montana]

Lets see how the final product will look like...

[sniktawt]

Btw, That trailer special effects look to be about 80% finished.

I still say the movie will suck but that's my opinion.
Too many lame looking characters.
My 6 year old cousin even laughed at the look of most of the characters.LOL.

[Tony Montana]

6 year old kids laugh at anything nowdays...

The effects look unfinished, but the real heavy effects werent even shown, because they still have a lot work to do...

****, I've just found out that "The Last Samurai" starts at 9th of january here... that is the only reason why I would like to live in US...

[sniktawt]

The 6 year old laughed saying it was crap , not because he thought it was cute.

His comment was That looks like LXG.
LOL!!!

Like a lot of us said, do we really need another LXG film????

[Tony Montana]

I liked LXG more than Daredevil as you know...

I hope it wont turn out like that and I dont think that with that team this would turn out that bad... of course you would never be satisfied (just think how often we ripp some movie apart only by seing its poster!!).

[Highfire]

i think this will be good IMO

[Freddy Englund]

LEAUGE OF EXTRAORDINARY HELLBOYS!!!!

[Jack Of Hearts]

:lol:

[JackBauer]

lol

well, i haven't seen LXG yet. i hope the next hellboy trailer is better.

[teewee1432]

I second that I was'nt the least bit impressed by that hellboy trailer,and when it ended I thought was this it,it made me feel like I was watching street fighter all over again. I'm glad to know that the effects for this movie is only halfway done because what I saw this movie and the movies costums are laughable at best, I can see this movie fading at the box-office faster then double dragon did if they keep this up.

[Eternal]

Im pretty amazed at the people saying this movie will be bad. Some people even posted 10+ times only saying the exact same thing over and over! Every single one of you who say this movie will be bad either know NOTHING about the character, or have NEVER read a Hellboy comic. In terms of bringing a comic book to the big screen, this is THE most faithful adaptation I have ever seen. If you were familiar with the comic you would know how beautifully done this movie is. How exactly is this movie like LXG? Seriously, that's what you people keep saying but I haven't seen ONE reference to the movie and how they were similar. The two movies are so completely different it isn't funny. This trailer was made so people who were not familiar with the movie would see some of the other main characters, and bad guys, and know what their powers were. Instead of just showing a full trailer all of Hellboy, and when the movie is released no one knows anything else about the other characters. Do you know how amazing the special effects are for being only 10% done? Everyone has the right to their own opinion, but bashing something when you know nothing about it, and don't give any reasons why you don't like it is just plain ignorant. What's pretty unbelievable is out of 7 pages of posts not ONE person bashing this movie has made an intelligent post as to why they don't like it. I cant believe I just wasted 3 minutes typing this message.

[Tyranic_Lord]

What does that have to do with us not liking the movie? Many people that knew NOTHING about X-Men, but when they saw the movies they were stunned at how incredibly well the comic book movie was handled.

How exactly is this movie like LXG?
Gee, let me see, from the look of the trailer, the movie looks to be very cheesy. The costumes look incredibly fake, and the CGI makes the Star Wars prequel look good, hence LXG.

This trailer was made so people who were not familiar with the movie would see some of the other main characters, and bad guys, and know what their powers were.

It's been done before - X2 trailer ring a bell?

you know how amazing the special effects are for being only 10% done?
:lol: No comment on that one.

I can't believe how dumb you are to actually think this is going to be a good movie. Most likely you're one of thos comic book geeks that thought 93 version of Fastastic4 was actually a good movie.

Dumb?!
I do think that the movie is going to be really good if not great, and I like the trailer and it doesnt have nothing to do with LXG. If you want to compare it with some other movie, how about Blade 2, because the director is the same so are the visualls.
The effects were 30% done.
Director is great and has proven it many times. Even the writter of Hellboy is part of his team, so everything is filmed exactly the way it should be.
X-Men was far away from being exact adaptation, so stop making yourself ridicilous... well, too late for that.
You are the only one who is missing some braincells...
Why dont you go play with you action toys in your parents basement or search some real friends instead of coming here and posting such BS and insulting people for not jacking off during the same movies you do.

He's mine too.This dude is ballsy.

I find it funny that this User, Eternal , only posted 3 times on the board and all of them were here.

Could this be someone who liked the trailer and Signed in as a new username just to get some lame support for this peice of **** movie.

I think it is.It's too obvious.Pathetic.

I guarantee that 90% of the people who liked this trailer will come out of the movie on opening day hating the **** out of it.
This will suck beyond all belief.

And To Tony Montana , How can you say Guillermo del Toro has proven himself time and again when his past movies were Crap-fests such as Mimic & Chronos and 3 foreign movies no one has seen or ever will.
He had one decent film in Blade 2 and that was Ok, not spectacular so saying he's proven himself is not a decent statement.Because those films sucked.IMO.

[Eternal]

You caught me Jack! Or it could be because I never posted here before and someone said there was a thread about Hellboy and I wanted to post what I thought. Wait, that couldn't be it! People cant make a board account without secretly having another they usually post on! I really cant understand the mentality of the people from these boards. To say the CGI sucked in Blade 2 is just mind boggling to me. Im very critical on CGI, and if I don't think its good I will say so. So snikt people who are over critical jackasses are your hero? That's pretty sweet, the people on this board are incredibly mature! I cant believe its so hard for one of you to post a reply stating that you think so and so movie will be bad, in a civilized half normal manner. Instead every single person posts sarcastic, rude, jackass replies. GDT is a great director, and even if you didn't like Blade 2 Cronos was just an awesome movie, what does it matter if its a foreign film or not. Another 3 wasted minutes posting here, why do I keep doing this to myself? =p.

[sniktawt]

To entertain me.

I like to laugh.;)

[Eternal]

At the expense of being rude and sarcastic to other people? That's pretty cool ( notice the sarcasm there ).

[sniktawt]

I'm not rude and I'm not sarcastic, I'm just Truthful.

[Eternal]

Im saying you find it humorous when people are rude and sarcastic to other people. Im saying that's pretty lame, that's all.

[sniktawt]

Well, Thanks.;)

[Tony Montana]

Jack Of Hearts:

Then you should watch his foreign movies and other stuff he has done so you could see what I was talking about, instead of bashing something you havent even see.
Yes, he proved himself IMO by making some good movies with crappy budgets and still making real good movies that sucks you in.

Bashing Blade 2 because of CGI?? :rolleyes:


If you dont think it is going to be good, well then DONT GO TO THE ****ING CINEMA and see it in the first place and stop TORTURING US with stupid comments about some movie YOU HAVENT EVEN SEEN YET!

Like little kids just wanting something to go bad...

By flawed logic that would mean you want the opposite, mindless and action driven, or DUMB.
(like CA2)

Oh joy, here we go again.

Firstly, thank you for the compliment, and yes, I wouldn't mind it if eveycomic book film wasn't just some mindless action flick that all my friends would laugh at me for liking because they were "cheezy and had no story/plot."
Blade is still my favourite and they all hate me for it.

I want good smart plot/character driven movies with great action and effects. The ones that stay true to the characters are the ones that end up being the most loved.

I take back my statement, the one about loving this fim.
I, unlike many, will base my opinion on something I've seen. Basically, I won't hate on something I havent seen yet.

All I know it that most of the good things about Blade 2 will be in this.
Obviously better effects too.

[sniktawt]

Marvin, as you know, I loved Charlie's Angels Full Throttle.
It was mindless and I didn't have to be a Scientist to understand it like A Certain Film starring your Big Green Friend.;)

And BTW, I liked the effects in Blade 2, I can't see why someone would harp on them.

But anyways back to Topic.

[Tony Montana]

Yes, back to the topic: I like the trailer and think that movie is going to be great!

[Marvin]

I liked CA2 as well.

[JackBauer]

a few words.

-i like blade 2
-i don't judge this movie yet
-the TRAILER looks crappy
-please don't defend it by saying the effects are only 10% done. thats not true, im sure.

[Tony Montana]

30% is true.

[JackBauer]

the only reason i gave this movie a chance is because i love comic book adaptations. and maybe i'll like it...maybe not. who knows...

[Instinct]

This is going to ****ing rock. Del Toro is really passionate about this project so I'm sure he'll do his best NOT to **** it all up. I can't wait.

[Psycho-Pirate]

Y'know, I was just on the Resident Evil board saying how I thought the first movie might be the worst Hollywood movie I've ever seen. And then I saw you all heap praise on the Daredevil movie. I think these two movies would make a great double feature! First I'd wish I was blind, and then I'd wish I was dead.

oh and heres a funny story from SHH


The Star reports that the Hellboy movie will be retitled "Super Sapiens" for the Malaysian market to avoid controversy...

Adapted from the Dark Horse comic and known as Hellboy worldwide but re-titled for the local market after last year’s Daredevil controversy, Super Sapiens has Perlman in the title role of Hellboy, a demon child plucked from home by a wizard’s spell. Raised as a force of good, Hellboy grows up to be a full-fledged demon in the form of a man, with fierce red skin, a tail, a giant armored glove, and two large circles where his horns should be to boot. Hellboy grows up to be an investigator of the paranormal, and accompanying him are the Abe Sapien (Doug Jones) and the pyrokinetic Liz Sherman (Selma Blair).

Go Super Sapiens!!

[Rogue]

Oh my...that's just stupid. :funny:

[cg124]

iknew that you would get a kick out of it

[Rogue]

Goooooooooooooo Super Sapiens! :hehe:

Malaysia is strange.

well they went crazy with Daredevil last year. They banned it

[Phantomias2k]

very cool trailer indeed

[cg124]

Heres an early review of the film from Fangoria

Even though Guillermo del Toro's recent surgery prevented the writer/director from attending the FANGORIA's Weekend of Horrors held this past weekend ("I feel fine!" del Toro jokes), he still invited Fango to his offices in the Sherman Oaks Galleria today to catch a sneak peek at an unfinished assembly of his new film HELLBOY, set to hit theaters from Sony and Revolution Studios April 2.

The impressive-looking film is lavishly shot in shades of gold, blue and grays depending on the section of the movie, and has one of the most beautiful looks thus far given to a comic book adaptation. The color palette, meant to reflect the Mike Mignola comic book (del Toro showed Fango a "visual notes" memo he compiled at the beginning of the shoot to pass out to everyone, with specific HELLBOY comic panels highlighted for their color schemes), provides a vivid backdrop to the "big red guy"—Hellboy himself, whose own color is constantly being highlighted or muted by his surroundings.

The plot borrows a bit from the first HELLBOY comic series, Seed of Destruction, in which Hellboy is born during World War II and summoned by Nazis, but ultimately rescued by the Americans (with the help of a Baby Ruth candy bar, no less) and Dr. Broom (John Hurt), who adopts the little guy. Over the next few decades, Hellboy (Ron Perlman) ages far slower than his human counterparts, so he still has the mindset of a teenager, though he looks like a man. Locked away in the BPRD (Bureau for Paranormal Research and Defense) and only let out to do battle with the various monsters that exist in the mortal plane, Hellboy pines for his love, the pyro-enhanced Liz Sherman (Selma Blair), who has never quite come to terms with her ability to create fire and, well, explode. When Rasputin (Karel Roden), the aged Russian prophet who helped the Nazis conjure Hellboy in the first place, comes a-calling to try and use Hellboy to take over/destroy the Earth, many monsters are released, Hellboy is forced to kick a lot of ass and...well, we won't give away too much of the plot.

The Rick Baker Hellboy makeup, as seen in the already-in-theaters trailer, is pretty remarkable, and Perlman is unrecognizable, effectively becoming Hellboy for the film. The character's "look" changes from scene to scene, sometimes with the demon wearing his trademark trenchcoat and no shirt, sometimes with a shirt and trenchcoat and sometimes bare-chested. Though Hellboy keeps his horns sanded down in the film—as in the comic—there are scenes in the movie that show Hellboy with full horns. On top of that, Abe Sapien (Doug Jones, voiced by David Hyde Pierce) is also a full body makeup job that works rather well, whether underwater or walking around on land.

Though there are other monsters, including the recurring and ever-able-to-reproduce-ad-infinitum Sammael and then a Cthulhu-like behemoth, the breakout character from HELLBOY would have to be Kroenen, a Nazi assassin played alternately in the film by a dancer, a contortionist and a martial artist/stuntman. The multi-talented Kroenen is Rasputin's main henchman, a silent, masked semi-cyborg who was almost killed decades before, but has replaced his hand and parts of his body with clockwork parts and is now more powerful than ever. He wields twin police-style nightsticks that he's able to use with great aplomb.

Though the film's FX weren't completely done in this version, enough were completed to provide a look at a number of trademark HELLBOY shots, such as the title hero fighting against great Cthulhu-inspired tentacles ("I haven't seen a great tentacle fight since 20,000 LEAGUES UNDER THE SEA," explains del Toro) while wielding a giant sword. On top of that, the punchy, short-breathed Hellboy dialogue ("Aw, crap") is all here and uttered with a constantly annoyed delivery by Perlman that is pitch-perfect to what you'd imagine Hellboy's personality to be from the comic.

With two and a half months to go to complete the CGI and looping and put on the score, HELLBOY looks remarkably complete, likely due to the number of in-camera FX del Toro chose to use in the film. All in all, the movie looks like a truly great bit of monstermaking with a really strong and well-executed story, multidimensional characterizations, some amazing creature designs, a lot of Mignola-style dark humor and a truly beautiful look.

[Macbane]

Sounds awesome. I really can't wait for this movie.

...And Guillermo del Toro saying the best tentacle fight was in 20,000 Leagues? I thought Fellowship of the Ring's watcher in the water was pretty cool. ;)

That'd be Sammael. He's one of the principal villains, besides Kronen and Rasputin.

This looks like it will flop. Looks kinda campy and I dont think the fanbase is as big as the other comic book movies.

Are the markings on his body signifigant in some way? Look like they may be..

Nup. They're just there to make him look pretty.... although they don't help much. ;)

Looks a bit like my geometry teacher from my sophmore year in high school. The resemblence is frightening. ;)

You're right in thinking that there's more to Sammael than what meets the eye.... but I don't want to give anything away. ;) And that is, of course, if they stick with the comic storyline.

Sammael is unlike anything that's appeared in the comics. He's not a replacement for the Frogs and does not have the same origin.

The markings DO have meaning, but not necessarily significant to the film. They are a branding of sorts for demons. That's why both Sammael and HB have them.

If you pay attention closely, you may find another character or two that carry similar markings.

Feel free to say that after you've seen the film in April.

Sounds awesome. I really can't wait for this movie.

...And Guillermo del Toro saying the best tentacle fight was in 20,000 Leagues? I thought Fellowship of the Ring's watcher in the water was pretty cool. ;)

That was certainly a cool scene, wasn't it ;) But wait till you see what's in the movie. You'll understand the quote.

I've been privileged enough to have seen many things that the public hasn't yet so, I'm way ahead of you on the "Can't Wait" scale..hehe.

Nice! I seriously can't wait. :)

everyone should read some of the comics before the movie comes out. It's seriously one underrated piece of work

That's Kronen (Half-dead Cyborg guy) without his mask on. He usually always wears a mask... now you can see why.
