Hellboy - Review Thread

[droidguy1119]

I have press tickets to see this Monday, March 29th.

Synopsis:
Hellboy was born in the flames of Hell and brought to Earth as an infant to do evil, but Dr. Broom saved him and raised him to be a hero. As one of the members of Broom's Bureau of Paranormal Research and Defense, Hellboy and his partners (including his love, Liz Sherman), will fight an evil madman who seeks to reclaim Hellboy to the world of evil and destroy mankind. Based on the Dark Horse comic book by Mike Mignola (who serves as co-executive producer).

Starring Ron Perlman, Selma Blair, Jeffrey Tambor, Karel Roden, Rupert Evans and John Hurt
Directed by Guillermo Del Toro
Columbia Pictures, 2004
Rated PG-13 for sci-fi action violence and frightening images

Trailer:
http://www.apple.com/trailers/sony_pictures/hellboy/

I think Hellboy has gotten a lot of unfair flak from viewers who think it (and by "it" I mean Hellboy himself) looks goofy. Hopefully it doesn't bomb.

I think the action looks top-notch and the special effects solid. Looking forward to it...

[Instinct]

I've heard nothing but great things. I had a friend who went to a screening, and he loved it. I can't wait.

[Halofan1]

Hey droid, will you remember to check the paper this time? :p

[droidguy1119]

Yeah...I already looked at the ticket about 11 times.

It's the one I went to when we went to Dawn of the Dead. In fact, that theater is also the one playing Walking Tall. I'm not going to forget, dammit! :D

[LS2002]

well....i dont know about others. But i think the comic book readers will like this movie more then non-readers. I've never even heard of this hellboy before they started working on the film. And personally i think he look goofy....but i will see the movie nontheless..

[stonefaced_1]

You lucky bastard. Now you are starting to get A movie titles.
What are you going to do when you actually have to start paying to see movies again.;)

[droidguy1119]

Never!

[stonefaced_1]

Oh the day will come sooner than you want.

You only have like three months of school left, right?
Than the day will come where you have to pay to see movies.
*deep sinister Ha Ha ha*

[droidguy1119]

Yes...until I move on to work at a college paper...:twisted:

[stonefaced_1]

I highly doubt they will let some pipsqueak freshman do the movie reviews. ;)

The big upperclassmen will be doing all of movie reviewing.

[droidguy1119]

Hey, they listened to a high school...

[Switzer]

Everything in the movie looks cool, like the backgrounds and *****.But I don't think HellBoy, himslef,doesn't look all too awesome...his face looks like a red gas mask :o

so, here is a brilliant idea, why not post a review thread on the 29th after you have actually SEEN the movie?

now we get several pages of "gee, i think it looks good" bull****.

[poeman]

In my opinion , Hellboys face looks like Nick Nolte in red

[Radiohead]

btw, hellboy is classifed as a comic book adaption, you're in the wrong forum, pal.

Enough with the hostility, man. We're all peaceful funlovine people... besides most of these movie forums are filled with that "gee, i think it looks good" crap... so if you don't like take your business elsewhere buster!

[end_rant]

Actually this looks crappy... LXG of 2004 as I said in the other thread... except this won't be as fun.

Yes, it is also a review thread. Something I guess I've been requested to hold back on.

I don't understand what the problem is.

Hey, here's a BRILLIANT idea.

If you do not like the thread, do not post in it. If you don't like what Droid's doing, keep it to PM's or E-mail instead of harassing the dude in his thread(s).

From RevolutionSF's review of 'Hellboy':

"This is the first must-see geek movie of 2004. The faithful translation to film, coupled with del Toro's quirky visual style, made this some of the best eye candy I've seen since Spider-Man or X2. It's that good. Expect to hear some quibbles about the occasional CGI shot, or minor character tweak. In other words, the usual bulls**t...To them I say this: If that's all you're upset about, then this film is an unqualified success. Considering that I would have deemed this project unfilmable, and by contrast the sheer number of creepy tentacles that made it into the movie, you'll swallow your tongue at what they got right. Del Toro and Mignola are really proud of the movie. Go see Hellboy and you'll understand why."

[droidguy1119]

From Fangoria's review of 'Hellboy':

Like the X-MEN films, HELLBOY proves that the phrase "comic-book movie" need not suggest a lack of intelligence or maturity, and that a film centering on inhuman characters can run the gamut of human emotions. Like Hellboy himself, it's both fearsome and personable, and it kicks ass. And it makes one anxious to see what new territory the director will explore in his next movie, even as it leaves one happily speculating where he could go with a sequel. Either way, viva del Toro, and viva HELLBOY

From DVDFuture's review of 'Hellboy':

Ron Perlman makes "Hellboy" happen. Now that I have seen him as Hellboy I cannot imagine another actor in this role. His makeup is so realistic...This movie was nearly perfect. I have not been a fan of Guillermo del Toro's films before, but this one is a beginning. I would give this film four and a half stars out of five.

From LatinoReview's review of Hellboy:

The acting was solid all around, from the supporting players to the amazing Ron Perlman in the title role. It took Del Toro six years to get this film made, mainly because the studio insisted that a star play the lead (Vin Diesel and the Rock were once rumored). I'm glad Guillermo stuck to his guns, because Perlman IS Hell Boy I also really liked the character development. We get to know all these great characters in a short period of time. The fact that its somewhat a father and son movie was also cool. The film shows you that Hellboy pays a price for his existence and its a heavy price. And finally the love story between Hellboy and Liz, which brings a lot of humor to the film. Guillermo Del Toro is able to add humor and a human touch to this movie.

[stonefaced_1]

I haven't been too excited about this, but the more trailers I see, the more I want to see it.

[droidguy1119]

I just think it looks like it's got some mind-boggling action sequences.

I posted this after someone else posted it, in the reelies
THIS IS THE CLOSEST REPRESENTATION OF HELLBOY

[SoundScream]

Just got back from seeing it. Very good. Funnier than I thought it was going to be. I dont know how acurate it was to the comic but Ron Pearlmen told us before the movie started that Del Torro made the movie as close as it could be to the source. By the way Selma Blair was 50 times hotter in person. To bad she was escorted by 5 security guards I would have loved to put the ole soundscream charm on and as usual go down in a ball of fire oh well. :heart:

[fineus fog]

does anyone know when this is coming out in Australia/NZ??

[Malitos_Sahkir]

I think I remember someone saying it was out in the UK in September, so maybe around then?

[krazy_marco74]

does anybody know the running time of Hellboy?

[droidguy1119]

132 minutes.

[JackBauer]

COOL!!!

Hellboy: A Review
by Tyler Foster

The only medium that loves the antihero more than comic books is film, and thusly, Hellboy is a perfect fit on the big-screen. To some, he may appear goofy or hokey-looking, but Ron Perlman embodies the character so well, after five minutes, adjustment sets in, and Hellboy becomes natural. Unfortunately, Hellboy the film doesn't quite settle comfortably into its' medium, and the result is a film with good action, fun performances, and a not-so-good transition from comic book to film.

The plot follows Dr. Broom (John Hurt), head of the Bureau for Paranormal Research and Defense, who summons John Myers (Rupert Evans) to the headquarters in New Jersey, where Myers meets Hellboy (Perlman). Together, they head out to stop the Sammael, which, unfortunately, is the Hound of the Resurrection. Kill one, two more are born.

The film starts off on the wrong foot, and never recovers perfectly. The opening sequence is a web of miscalculation -- as Roger Ebert might say, nobody is watching the Goofy Meter. At the screening I was at, there were a lot of laughs, many of them likely unintentional. A few elements of this sequence work, but on the whole it falters, and worst of all, especially on the introduction of our hero.

Luckily, the movie quickly rights itself, and the rest of the movie is a lot of fun. As the trailers promise (and, while they give a little too much away, there have been much worse recently), the action sequences are dazzling and stunning -- Hellboy quite simply kicks ass. Perlman throws off one-liners left and right, and John Hurt gives the film a grounding presence, the kind of down-to-earth reality check that is missing in the opening of the film.

The visual effects vary. When they're good, they're really good, but there are moments when you can tell the filmmakers were preoccupied with other things. Unimportant filler shots like an airplane in the clouds and Hellboy crushing a can of Red Bull end up looking lazy.

But if there is one thing Hellboy is not short on, it's style. Director Guillermo del Toro obviously has a lot invested in the movie, and the movie is great fun to watch. Unique shots, dizzying action angles and all sorts of visual invention from del Toro fills every inch of the screen, and it's probably the first time I've ever thought about a film's aspect ratio in the theater -- I wish it had been shot in 2.35:1 instead of 1.85:1 just to see more of del Toro's imagery.

All in all, there are much worse things to see than Hellboy. Visually brilliant, action-packed, and anchored by a fun performance by Perlman and a strong one by Hurt, but nonetheless, it's unlikely that Hellboy will change anyone's mind on comic book movies either way. The character of Hellboy sits in a class with Wolverine -- liked the man, not so sure about the movie.

Score: 8/10

Starring Ron Perlman, Selma Blair, Jeffrey Tambor, Karel Roden, Rupert Evans and John Hurt

i had that feeling
HellBoy = Nothing Special

[droidguy1119]

I'd like to note that Hellboy provided the coolest press packets ever.

[stonefaced_1]

Good review droid. I will probably see this.

[carnage4u]

Originally posted by poeman

because you saw it or one person said that?

[droidguy1119]

More points about Hellboy:

- It's a red-blooded (no pun intended) comic-book movie -- like I said, it's not going to change anyone's stance on comic book flicks. The movie doesn't appear to dilute or change the idea or plot of Hellboy (which I haven't read) for mainstream audiences, which at once sinks the opening and then makes the rest of the movie fun to watch.

- Selma Blair is good as Liz Sherman, although one wishes for more of her character. She breathes as much life into as possible, but at the end, it seems the running time factor took its' toll and her character is lessened.

- The makeup is brilliant. Despite not focusing on it in the review -- anyone who sees the movie doesn't need to be informed further -- Rick Baker's makeup is again brilliant, brilliant, brilliant. Beyond Hellboy, a particularly gruesome character I won't say much about is a masterpiece of creepiness.

- Ape Sapien is the fish-creature in the trailer. The press kit informs me that he is played by Doug Jones, although his voice is a seemingly uncredited David Hyde Pierce, who is very good. The character is fun, and there is a funny and well-played scene between Abe Sapien and Liz.

- Speaking of Liz (again), Blair and Perlman have good chemistry. The movie doesn't weigh itself down with sentimentalism -- it's still an action movie -- but the scenes that are in the film are handled well by Del Toro.

- I also have to give kudos to Rory Copus, who plays a little kid on a rooftop. See the movie...he's got a fun part.

- I like the press kit so much (already mentioned it) that maybe I'll even post pictures...:)

[cg124]

cool i'm still seeing this

[droidguy1119]

Okay, in an attempt to make my review a little better-read, I rewrote a bit of it, and added my score at the bottom -- I am not saying Hellboy is bad, in fact I enjoyed it more than The Ladykillers. I'm just saying except for del Toro's work, it's not revolutionary.

[Strider-Oni]

Remember, that is droidguy's opinion. I suggest you see the movie first before jumping out to conclusions and "feelings".

I know I'll be seeing it. :applaud:

[poeman]

i thought when droidguy first posted his review, that the movie wasnt all that great. Ill still see it. But i think its not a blockbuster movie

[droidguy1119]

lol, again -- my opinion was that it was good. Good! I liked the movie!

[krazy_marco74]

good review there droidguy1119. i will be seeing this movie next week April 9th, hoping that the new spider-man 2 trailer will be attached to it in my theatres

[droidguy1119]

Unfortunately, the trailer attached to my print was White Chicks.

[Mat]

:eek:

I'm gonna have to see this...

I'm assuming it's better than LXG?

[poeman]

I liked LXG, cant wait for the sequel.

Captain Nemo owns all!!!

as for hellboy, it reminds me of the same film as LXG

[droidguy1119]

I didn't see LXG, I thought it looked pretty bad, because I liked the premise of the comic book. The reviews convinced me to avoid it.

As for my comment about LK, Mat, I just said that in terms of myself -- I highly doubt you will enjoy it more than LK (hopefully you might like some of the movie's visual style though).

[Mat]

If it's got a tasty visual style... I'm there...

[droidguy1119]

Either Del Toro is doing something with his camera, the production design shines, Rick Baker's makeup is fantastic, or the special effects wizardry is dazzling. Almost always is there something fun for the eyes in Hellboy.

[FilmJerk]

movie was ok. some parts were like blah. most parts were kick ass/ the plot was confusing though. 6/10

[droidguy1119]

What was confusing about the plot?

[WuTical]

I'm seeing it tomorrow

hopefully, i'll like it

[krazy_marco74]

if anyone seeing hellboy tomorrow, be sure to tell us if there is spider-man 2 full trailer attached!! on CS! reviewed it 6/10 becuase of the plot...i hope when i see it i understand the plot.

[Mat]

It doesn't seem that hard to understand...

[droidguy1119]

It really wasn't, IMO.

[Rational_1]

Very good movie. I just saw a late night(Thursday) screening because my sister works at the theatre. The plot is not in the least bit confusing, IMO and while the story is not revolutionary, it IS well executed(Unlike a certain overrated Keanu Reeves sci-fi flick). There are a few nitpicky things(Nazi's standing idly while a mystic portal forms and sucks all kinds of stuff in like a vortex etc.) but not enough to bring the movie down.

Ron Perlman is spot on as the title character and none of the supporting cast is worse than "acceptable"(most are better than acceptable). Still the movie is not an acting tour de force or anything and it shouldn't be. It is an action-hero yarn and well worth the couple hours time you invest in seeing it.


BTW, the trailers attached when I saw it were The Punisher and White Chicks and Anchorman.

[carnage4u]

the only thing about this movie is i dont want to have to see thru the white chicks trailer cause frankly that trailer makes me feel bad about life and the fate of mankind

[droidguy1119]

It did the same for me too. I have nightmares about the makeup.

[Kinjo]

I went in with low expectations. Hellboy was just....meh. Special effects were decent, but the plot just dragged. There was no real buildup to the end.....

[spoiler.] just chasing a bunch of hellhounds around and then boom we go after the bad guy, who turns into an octopus.....I disagree that the plot was hard to understand. It wasn't. It just needed more development. Tell us more about Rasputin. Tell us why he's so bent on destruction. Tell us more on how he plans to accomplish it. We were just told to accept that this guy's bad and he wants to end the world for no particular reason. We were asked to care about these characters who weren't developed nearly enough to merit our attention. I agree with 6/10. Some decent action, but most of it was so dark and blurred with speed that we didn't get a feel for it. [/spoiler.]

Not really disappointing, because as I said, I had low expectations.




*Edit* Oh yea.....and Hellboy's giant hand looked ridiculous......


*Edit 2* Added spoiler tags....tho the movie is now released.....all spoilers should be game


*Edit 3* Tags don't work. Oh well.

[droidguy1119]

You might want to add spoiler tags to that review.

[spoiler.] and [/spoiler.] around the spoilers, except without the periods.

[WuTical]

i had low expectations for this film but this movie was nothing but greatness

one of my favs of this yr so far

[carnage4u]

good thing i didnt read that review and saw droidguys comment first.. i would have had to lay the smack down.. seeing this film later.. hopefuly will post review tonight as well.

My wife just told me our daughter is 12 now so it won't be long and we can take her to PG movies. Sorry about the mixup in the first post.


Droidguy, thanks for the movie tips. I have not heard of most of those. Home on the Range sounds like a western. My wife is not a big fan of those although I really like them. Maverick is my favorite (it starred Mel Gibson). I am going to look to see if Johnson Family Vacation is talked about here since that sounds like a delightful family movie.

[droidguy1119]

Home on the Range is a Disney animated flick about cows.
I think Johnson Family Vacation looks stupid, and actually in retrospect it is rated PG-13, so never mind.

[Rogue Program]

Best parts were Hellboy, his make-up and his kittens and Kroenen the Nazi assassin. The story went in a ridiculous direction toward the end and it really started to pull me out of the film which wasn't too bad up to that point. I don't think there were any moments of terrible cgi in the movie, it served it's purpose and on occasion was quite well done. The main villian seemingly had the power to show up wherever and whenever he wanted to and it sort of bothered me that the rules governing him were not explained (that and he was just boring). No other characters interested me (apart from Abe who was underutilized)and that was a problem. Average at best.

6.5/10.

[Mat]

Who wants to hear what Mat thought of it?

I do! I do!

Duh de duuuuh!

Mat's official review of the movie Hellboy

The plot of Hellboy is muddled, but the style at which del Toro presents it is quite refreshing. Like Bryan Singer's X2, Hellboy knows it's a superhero movie and never takes it's plot completely seriously (unlike Daredevil). One aspect the plot has going for it is that the villains are Nazis and we hates nazis. The main villain is none other than Rasputin (yes the Russian mystic healer), whose seemingly only purpose is to keep the audience wondering where they heard that name before.

On the positive side, Ron Pearlman rocks as Hellboy. He smokes, drinks (Red Bull), and cracks off oneliners faster than pulling the trigger on his huge revolver. He's extremely funny and effective as the big red guy. That makeup hides very little of his very entertaining performance. The way he's presented in such a way that you know del Toro loves this character. He's brutal, but he saves kittens. Some of the best and funniest scenes in the movie involve him following his semi-sidekick (Rupert Evans) and his love intrest, Liz (Selma Blair), as they enjoy a cup of coffee together. Hellboy keeps watch on them while conversing with a 9-year-old about his relationship with.

The side characters are aptly done as well. The Nazi assasin was quite creepy and Abe, the underwater guy, was quite charming (voiced by none other than David Hyde Pierce). While the ending boils down to Hellboy battling the big evil guy and a deus ex machina, it's all done in an entertaining comic book style that can't help but to entertain.

B

Oh yeah, one thing I would change is.... Right after scene where the professor gets killed we go back to the humorous conversation with HB and the kid. It just seemed out of place. They should have had that little humor, went back to the professor being killed, and then go back to the agents telling John and Liz the prof was dead

[Blackbolt]

I loved it. I was my favorite comicbook movie so far

[droidguy1119]

I didn't have much problem with the part you mentioned, Mat although I wish for more of John Hurt... ;)

[FilmJerk]

the movie didnt even explain why Rasputin wanted to destroy the world. Or maybe I missed it. The actions scenes were pretty cool, but too brief. The Hellboy character is cool though. I really liekd him. Pretty much all the action scenes in the trailers is all thats in the movie. 5/10

[droidguy1119]

It's sad...ratings are getting lower.

ENJOY IT PEOPLE! :mad: ;)

[FilmJerk]

have you read the comic?

As for me, I loved it! A great balance between story and action and Ron Perlman is great. I honestly don't know much about the comic but he made the character interesting and very charming. He brought alot of soul to this movie and that would have been lost if it weren't for him. Excellent job. Everyone esle did a fantastic job as well. Beautiful effects and some of the best one liners you could ask for You killed my father, your ass is mine!! ;)

9/10 Definitely worthy of repeat viewings.

But that was the only thing that felt like that.

[KINGKURT553]

Hellboy blew me away. The plot made the movie so interesting. It was awesome knowing who Rasputin was. It made the plot so much better. All the connections you could make was a nice touch. From the humor, to the action, to the small love story, it was a very nicely done movie. But I'm going to say that if it wasn't for the plot I wouldn't think so much about this movie. I think that kept me going, otherwise I thought it was a very dull film, but the plot kept it alive. All in all, it was well worth the money.

Oh, and did anyone wait after the first batch of credits ended? There was an extra scene. I suggest you guys wait out the few minutes and see it. Nothing spectacular, but it's a scene nonetheless. :p

Sorry I didn't like this movie that much. 4/10
The only thing that kept me into the movie was ron pearlman and his comedic relief. There is way to much cg. It makes me stupid when I try to pretend that it's not cg. Directors need to get away from cg if they don't need it. I mean comon they used it on crushing a redbull can. Anyone can crush a redbull can. No need to go cg. But if your looking for decent story check it out. But I can't pretend anymore. I can't stand CG that looks so bogus in some parts than other parts it looks good. The best part about this movie is the poster I bought.

[Mat]

**zombie guy falls down pit**

"I was better off dead!"

:funny:

[droidguy1119]

As for the CGI on the Red Bull can, they would have had to create a mechanical hand (since it was in the large hand), and it was probably cheaper to do that CGI.

[Instinct]

I liked Hellboy. Had alot of great style, Del Toro really brought everything to life well. Kroenon was awesome, how much more bad ass can one character be? :p There were alot of great shots and set piece's, just so amazing to look at. Abe Sapien, wow, good job on his FX.

[Colorado Cajun]

Ok I'm going to make this a very simple review. I am a huge Hellboy fan and have read quite a bit of Magnola's work. This film was so true to his vision and Hellboy mythology, that it may very well be my second favorite comic film ever now behind The Crow and Batman.

The adaptation of the Demon Seed arc was as dead on and filled with mythology, and lore that I was in heaven from the second the film started. Everything from the comic was in there.

As for the film itself the presentation was breathtaking. The effects, acting and script were some of the best I've seen yet in a comic film, and just film period. Perlman gave yet another stellar performance, and the rest of the cast did wonderfully.

I give it a 10 and that's the bottomline because CC knows his ****:D

[Baadshah]

i just came back from seeing the film. I liked it, but i didn't love it. I think i would have loved it more if i read the comics. But, it was an ok film for me, didn't make me want to see it twice, but i may buy the dvd

[droidguy1119]

I'm gonna look for the comics now.

I just downloaded a few issues...

The movie was incredibly accurate from what I've seen so far.

I just came back from watching it, and you pretty much said what I feel.

Oh yeah I forgot to add, I love the look and feel of the film.

[Garnet Spring]

Just got back from seeing Hellboy, I loved it.
It was a bit trippy at first, with the odd creatures and all, but I was suprised at how quickly I adapted to it. I think Ron Pearlman did an amazing job. I just loved Hellboy's attitude, nothing particularly new but still fresh somehow(much like the film itself). I didn't go into the movie expecting it to have any sort of emotion, but it did. It was suttle and genuine. And once agian, Pearlman was priceless in the role.

I liked the action. It was nice to see some non-martial arts action for a change. The real core of the movie were the scenes between Hellboy and Liz and Hellboy's monitoring of of Liz. I just loved those parts. The mixture of those two things reminded me of how I wanted X-men to be, to some degree anyway.

And I just have to say that I loved the use of the CGI. It's nice to see a director who isn't afraid of, or disrespectful to, CGI. I loved the use of it it almost said "if you don't like it, leave." It wasn't flaunting it, but it wasn't avoiding it either. It was truly special.
It's how I hope films in the future will treat their CGI. You know, this is a new time in film making and it's time to move on and use the technology that's available. Anyway, I'm ranting.

Good film.

9/10

[droidguy1119]

If you weren't already aware, del Toro has said he cut 20 minutes of footage for time ("a thriller shouldn't be more than 2 hours in theaters") and these will be reinstated on the eventual DVD release. There's a thread called "Hellboy DVD" (started by me ;)) that details this a little further.

I noted that a still picture of Hellboy looks rather fake and unconvincing, but when moving, Hellboy looks like a realistic creature. This is a strange effect...

[MickeyMoose15]

Released April 2nd, 2004

Director: Guillermo del Toro

Starring: Ron Perlman, Selma Blair, John Hurt, Jeffrey Tambor, Karel Roden, Doug Jones, Rupert Evans, Biddy Hodson, David Hyde Pierce (voice)

Premise: From visionary writer/director Guillermo del Toro ("Blade II," "The Devil's Backbone") comes "Hellboy," a supernatural action adventure based on Mike Mignola's popular Dark Horse Comics series of the same name. Born in the flames of hell, and brought to our world in a pagan ritual, the fierce red hero, Hellboy (Perlman), was saved by his friend and mentor, the benevolent Dr. Broom (Hurt). Raised in Broom's Bureau for Paranormal Research and Defense, Hellboy joins the likes of the "Mer-Man" Abe Sapien, Liz Sherman (Blair), the woman he loves who can psychically control fire, and Myers, the FBI agent who is his rival for Liz's affections. Together, our heroes must come to terms with fantastic powers that prove to be both a blessing and a curse. In the process they discover that their abilities serve to benefit mankind but may also keep them forever isolated from the society that only they can protect.

Here’s come another one … another feature film adaptation of a classic comic book series. Ever since the comic book genre was revitalized by X-Men in 2000 and elevated to escalating popularity thanks to Spider-Man in 2003, it has been the top priority of every major movie studio in Hollywood to jump on the latest band wagon and grab a comic book franchise in which to roll several features, if at all possible. Granted that most of the major comic book series have been picked up and the only ones left are the less well-known franchises, but aren’t the filmmakers that choose these projects all the more braver then those with the so-called “sure-fire” hits? Guillermo del Toro hasn’t clearly shown that after taking the directing reins in the already hot Blade film franchise for Blade II, which managed successful to out-gross the original, but now he really gets to show how brave of a filmmaker he is with a project he’s been working on for nearly six years. After shopping the experimental project around for quite some time, del Toro will now have the shot to bring the cult-classic to life but whether or not his hard work will pay off is still in the air ....

the current issue on the stands is only 25 cents.....Pick it up.


The movie is a almost direct translation of the first comic arc...so if it feels confusing to some....I still don't see how that's possible.....but that's how it was in the comic. A lot fo things are never explained in the comics

[Necross]

Yeah critics say a lot wasn't explained but also that it really doesn't matter because of the type of movie Hellboy is. I can't wait to see it!

[poeman]

Here's my thought:

Hellboy was a good action packed film. I thought the acting of Ron Pearlman was brilliant. He seemed to enjoy his role as a superhero alot. I wasnt sure about Myers, he was ok in this film. This movie was no ordinary action cgi film. Though there is alot of action , it does settle down and does not overdo the plot. I can see how people would find the plot confusing. i found it very compelling ina good way

RATING: B +

[droidguy1119]

I still don't understand how people were confused.

[Tornado]

I thought the film was half-way decent, the prologue could have been a little shorter, and I didn't like the big tentacle thing at the end . . .

Tornado's Score = B

[Baadshah]

i have some confusion on some of the plot here, please answer them:

1) Who is Hellboy, is he a demon or is he the real deal Satan?
2) Who is the main bad guy, what is his significance?
3) Why did the bad guy visit the Torch girl (selma blair) at the hosipital, why did he need her for?
4) What was happening at the end, what was Hellboy about to open?


hope you can answer these so i can better understand the movie

[droidguy1119]

1) Hellboy is a demon, not Satan. The Nazis created/awoke him so that he would kill the good guys, but the whole event went haywire for the Nazis when the good guys showed up, and the took Hellboy in. Essentially he is a general monster.

2) The main bad guy is Rasputin, a real Nazi. The stuff about how Rasputin died actually happened. In the movie, they resurrect him.

3) Rasputin went and screwed with Liz's powers because he wanted her to be confused again -- she was making progress, and he just wanted to futz with it, I guess.

4) Hellboy was about to open a portal that let the giant squid thing in, and the sand-creature gave Dr. Broom an image of what would happen if the squid were let free (hellish world, Hellboy and horns). I believe that when Hellboy didn't finish letting it free, the result was a weaker squid, because Rasputin and the blond Nazi chick sort of forced it through anyway.

[FilmJerk]

still doesnt explain why he wanted to destroy the world

[droidguy1119]

He thinks the world is evil, and he feels it is a good thing -- if they do what they are trying to do, it will start things over from the beginning and make the world a worthwhile place.

[Mat]

I didn't think the plot was that confusing... it was just muddled like most comic books are.

[Inval1d]

I just saw it yesterday and I loved it.

Hellboy himself had some funny lines in the movie but my favorite part had to be when Liz and Myers were talking on the bench and Hellboy threw the rock and hit myers on the head. I also liked Ivan. Especially when he told Hellboy he would kick his ass if he had legs. The action was great too.

Overall I would say this is one of the better Comic Movies made. I would like to see a sequel.

9/10

oh yeah, and who do you think would win, HULK of HELLBOY? :D

[poeman]

no contest hulk will kill hellboy. he will tear him to pieces then eat him, and dump his remanings.

Thats how bad hellboy will lose or is it thats how good hulk can kick ass

[Inval1d]

naaaah..

Hellboy would shoot Hulk in the head with holy water bullets and Hulk would die a horrible death. :p

[poeman]

umm, you do know, hulk can heal quite easily, thats why he is so overbeaing and dominant.

He eats hellboy for breakfest.

[Inval1d]

hulk is a cheater. :(

[Mat]

While Hulk is contemplating desert flora, Hellboy will shoot him in the back of the head with a Hulk-killer bullet.

[Inval1d]

exactly! :)

[poeman]

but the hulk will get more angry, every time you keep shooting he cant die. Hes so Buff.

As i said Hulk will eat hellboy for breakfest, and he snacks on blade and daredevil

[Inval1d]

but then Punisher will come and punish him and kill him. :p

[poeman]

" Watcha gonna do when the hulk comes for you "

The punisher would be ****ting his pants when he sees the hulk jump into the sky. hes no actual superhero, hes just a gun freak

[Brock Landers]

I saw it last night. I'll have my full review later, but all I can say right now is.....well, er, the movie sucked. 4/10

My son loves to get banana splits and my wife, bless her heart, is a choco-holic (LOL!) and gets ANYTHING with chocolate or fudge sauce and devours fudge brownies!

Rob Rob Rob...some advice: Don't judge a book by its cover, or a movie by it's title. Just like the BUTTERFLY effect was a bad movie for children, the LadyKILLERS is...well, probably not a GOOD movie for children, but not about a serial killer. As I recall, it's about a con man who moves in with this chick so he can use her basement to crack into a bank vault..or something.

Anyhow, take the entertainment secton of your paper with you to DQ next time, and get one of those Extreme Chocolate Blizzards your wife must love. Read the reviews and pay attention to the ratings to see what is and isn't appropriate for your kids! And eat you some chocolate! The Rock garan-damn-tees you'll have a better time! ;)

yeah and just because Hellboy has HELL in it doesn't mean it has a demon fighting evil nazi's trying t otake over the world......

[droidguy1119]

I just bought The Hulk. Haven't seen it yet, but hopefully it's good. If not, I got it at discount...;)

[Baadshah]

one question
At the end, why did some creature come out of Rasputin and who exactly is Rasputin?

[Tenafly Viper]

Good: fantastic make up, great performance Pearlman, good CGI

Bad: HORRIBLE pacing especially in the middle, the plot couldn't get out of its own way while listlessly repeating itself.

Overall: an Ok movie that was missing something and would've benefited from being 20 to 30 minutes shorter.

[ILOVEKATIE]

[chs44d]

it was entertaining. Not sure if it was worth the price of admission but it was ok. CGI was better than expected. Then again I just recently saw the Hulk and any CGI looks better compared to that. The movie had some funny parts, although sometimes it was really forced.
Rating: 2.5 out of 5

[Jack]

Good movie.

Good: Beautiful direction, Ron = great, nice sets, nice effects, decent characters, fairly touching at times, well-timed humor, good pacing, and talk about BAD ASS villian (the nazi guy with the gas mask)

Bad: Baby Hellboy. I also really really wish it was R, I felt like they held back due to budget or rating constraints. I wish it was darker at times. Mostly just Baby Hellboy though. That was terrible. Great prolouge untill that point.

I'll give it a B.

[FilmJerk]

awesome movie, one of my all time faves

[droidguy1119]

I didn't like any of the prologue, and the movie would have gained nothing with an R.

[Jack]

I just found it distracting to show a Nazi assasin with two deadly blades yet never any blood, limbs falling, etc. Did it need it? No. But come on, I wanted to see those cops falldown simotaneously in pieces. It's just a dark (albeit funny) comic is all, an R rating would have given it more freedom for that to come through on film.

What didn't you like about the prolouge, besides the obvious "red ape"?

[droidguy1119]

It didn't have the little element that made you believe it -- the entire time I was thinking "This is goofy." Believability comes moments later in the form of John Hurt, who takes a wildly geeky idea and makes it sound as if it were the same as 1 + 1.

As for your other comment -- why? Why do we really need to see the cops fall to pieces? We don't. We get it. They're dead. When I saw that scene, I did think immediately about the rating, and my conclusion was, a second later, that the movie made the correct choice.

[poeman]

hey droidguy what did you think of the Hulk??

[droidguy1119]

Still haven't finished it, but the first fifteen minutes or so (I know, I watch movies slowly) are good...

[carnage4u]

Its the last 15 minutes that will break your spirit.

its what happened to me

[Clark Savage Jr]

My wife and I saw it last night...we both liked it alot....neither of us have read the comics.

[poeman]

i really liked the music part when liz does her fire thing, and she sayd " you should be running". i like the music when that comes, i think thats the theme of hellboy.

[CoanBread751]

I really didnt like this movie. I found it boring and just overall bad. I loved after the prolouge about the next 30 minutes. There was some really great, funny dialouge in that part. After that it gos down hill and eventually crashes and burns.

[Jack]

Yeah, okay, but you know, it is a comic book movie. I would consider other elements a little more "goofy". I do agree however, John hurt can make anything believable.

Why not? This movie was all about style, yes they are dead. It's not the point to show them dead, the point is to see them die in a "damn, that was cool" fashion and make you think "****! this guy is super deadly" When you have two blades, moving that fast, across a bunch of rent-a-cops, maybe I'm just sadistic but, you can't just have them fall down.

But it's just a nit-pick, I already know you think that it didn't need it. That's cool. Just felt I should explain myself a little more.

[ZombieMan]

I hadn't read the comic books but I just got back from seeing Hellboy and all-in-all it wasn't that bad. I rated it in the General forum. I didn't know what really to expect out of this movie, a friend and I went to see a movie and just decided to watch this one.

[ruban]

Saw Hellboy last night.

Was good, but I'm still trying to recuperate from the
White Chicks trailer http://forum.djesi.ba/images/smilies/pukeface.gif

All I can picture are a bunch of people in suits sitting around a big oval table saying "Yeah I like that idea, lets do it!"

I liked Hellboy. Better than I was expecting. Loved Ron Perlman as him...he kicked serious ass.

Oh, you missed it -- he didn't cut any of them. He just deflected the bullets into them.

[Jack]

Oh, so the bullets hit them back. Cool. I guess. But later in the fight, didn't he "cut" some dudes up. Because he should have =)

[Radiohead]

i thought hellboy (the character, not the movie) was pretty lame. big goofy dorky kind of doofus who kind of just stomps about and half-assedly (is that a word?) kind of beats up monsters.

i will say this, though, i have found my favorite villain of all time. that gas mask assassin was absolutely incredible and worth the price of admission

alas, though, the rest of the movie was kind of boring and blah

4/10.

[krazy_marco74]

i saw hellboy for the 2nd viewing. the trailer attahed were great except for the horrible white chicks trailer. there was sky captin, the punisher, white chicks, anchorman and...the amazing spider-man 2 trailer.

the visual effects were great. the action was awsome i wished the fights were longer becuase they were sweet. the humor was good, the funniest part was when liz and john was sitting on the bench and hellboy threw a rock at his head. some people were saying that the plot was complicated, but i think it was easy to understand. one of the best comic book adaptions, i really enjoyed this movie.

Grade: B+


by the way...was there something in the end credits i missed? i heard there was a scene worth seeing.

[droidguy1119]

There's only a little clip right after the first batch of credits (maybe 1:30 in).

The clip was just the Jeffrey Tambor character, still waiting in the room with the big gear, looking frightened. "Hello?. :)

Very good movie, I will prolly pick it up on dvd when it comes out.

[droidguy1119]

Me too...along with GND, Eternal Sunshine and Walking Tall...

[Jason Krueger]

I went to see this yesterday, and it was the most horrible experience ever. It started off fine, then the sound died. All you can hear is the music, but no one talking. Then it looked like someone was turning the movie on and off, and it sounded like there was a chainsaw in the background. Then the screen went white, the manager came in and told us, they were problems with the film, and we could get our money back and go see another movie. So I went to see The Girl Next Door instead.

[ehinds]

I saw this last night, and it was a lot of fun.

At the end, with the horns, though... I was just thinking of Tim Curry from "Legend".

[droidguy1119]

Eew...Legend...

3/5

[Hypestyle]

good flick.. now, hopefully the box office will sustain for a sequel.. and a big dvd turnout..

[Kitty]

good movie
8/10

[droidguy1119]

Yeah, I'll buy the DVD, and I would also like to see more Hellboy movies.

[stonefaced_1]

Wasn't the greatest but it was pretty good. Actually very good for a superhero movie.
