I mean, it's a pretty good movie, but I found it rather heavy-handed and the fantasy sequences were mostly unimpressive distractions from the <I>real</I> meat of the story, the real-world political scenarios.<BR/><BR/>Since I didn't like the first <I>Hellboy</I> (despite loving the comics) and don't think del Toro is any genius, I doubt I'm going to like this one either.Arlo J.

As much as I love the Mignola influences on the film design the movie would be awful without Perlman being there to make it fun. That would be worse than the twenty minutes of Robocop 2 where Robocop's not even in the film!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23042008.post-47466189802447150882007-12-21T18:20:00.000-05:002007-12-21T18:20:00.000-05:00I had feelings similar to Christian's and Geoff's ...I had feelings similar to Christian's and Geoff's about the first movie, but I've been surprised at how many non-comics people have told me they enjoyed it when they find out I'm a comics guy (even pre-Pan's Labyrinth). I haven't quite been able to pinpoint what it is about the film that they're reacting to. Perhaps Raiders of the Lost Ark fostered an occult-Nazi itch for many people that they weren't even aware of until Hellboy scratched it.<BR/><BR/>I dug this preview, though.Prof Furyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13730885955983198465noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23042008.post-8724178098399950152007-12-21T11:20:00.000-05:002007-12-21T11:20:00.000-05:00yeah I love how even aspects of the set look like ...yeah I love how even aspects of the set look like Mignola... freeze the frame at the 19 second mark and check out the mask and the wall...

He's my favorite BPRD character. <BR/><BR/>For those of you who don't read it, Johan is a former psychic medium, whose body was destroyed during a seance, but his spirit managed to linger on long enough for the BPRD to construct a tank for him, and later a containment suit. He's wonderfully optimistic most of the time and just generally a nice guy.<BR/><BR/>And it's just a great design.Christian O.https://www.blogger.com/profile/00444025571307204096noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23042008.post-70413263651525499542007-12-21T07:55:00.000-05:002007-12-21T07:55:00.000-05:00"the girl could control her powers in the comic bu..."the girl could control her powers in the comic but was forced into the Hollywood archetype "woman-out-of-control" thing in the film. "<BR/><BR/>Liz couldn't control her powers in the comics either, that is a recent development in the BPRD comics. Del Toro's movie beefed up her character considerably, as she was little more than a background character. Mignolia even says in one the trades he'd planned on killing her off because he couldn't think of anything else to do with her.Patrick Sandershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02410343584813208100noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23042008.post-14186820982283356992007-12-20T20:55:00.000-05:002007-12-20T20:55:00.000-05:00Looks great.

Assuming they were penned by Mignola.<BR/><BR/><BR/>I love Hellboy, and I love Del Toro, but I wasn't a big fan of the movie aside of the great art direction and a good portion of the ideas. <BR/><BR/>I don't know. I get why, but I don't think Hellboy should ever be romantically involved with anyone. I know Mignola regrets not being good at the romance stuff, but that's not really what I'm looking for in a Hellboy Anything.Christian O.https://www.blogger.com/profile/00444025571307204096noreply@blogger.com
