 | I'm not that familiar with the Hellboy comics being a MASSIVE Marvel fan myself, but i did think this movie was really well shot in terms of it being based on a comic book. Now it might just be me, but when i see a movie based on a comic, i want it to scan on film like i'm reading the book. This movie achives this in dramatic fashion. I really enjoyed sitting and watching as each scene was like looking at a different panel on the page. Very good over all... enjoy! |

| In a poopstorm of films based off of comicbook heroes, a real movie appears. Hellboy is an awesome character and this movie does the comic justice. While the movie isn't exact to the comics, it is still great. If you are tired of the stains that marvel is dumping out, check this out. The only complaint I have, is that it is to short. Forget Daredevil, The Hulk, Elektra, & the ridiculous Fantastic Four. Plus David Hyde Pierce does Abe's voice,...Niles Rocks!!!! |

| I didn't like the movie honestly! of course it had some strong points. one of the most important prominences of this movie was the right and enoght imagination. they didn't bring us something unique at the price of sacrificing the impression of the film. It's a tradition in these days movies that they want to depict new versions of well known monsters and heroes and the consequences most of the times will be ridiculous and critical phenomenons! Fortunately I saw one of the best remakes of comic heroes in this movie! Hellboy was astonishingly brilliant and realistic. Visuals and CGs of this movie were excellent and looked realistic too. The only critical and unsophisticated character of the movie was "The Corpse"! the reason that I didn't like this movie was it's scenario. I think it's not dynamic enough. It's good and reasonable but it's not dynamic. there is not a jaw dropping action scene that makes you screen or jump out of your sit and there is not a hanging story that encourage you to watch it till the end. they tried to bring us both action and mystery. and they didn't succeed in both, specially the mystery! I can't give this movie more than 3 stars. but It's a 5 star DVD set!
This DVDs design is a masterpiese! you'll get all you want, synchronized and real time! this is not the begining of new type of DVD production. I've seen such thing before in New Line Infinifilm series but, the job they've done here, is the peak of it! and made this DVD set a matter of hours and even days of entertainment! I admire them for the brilliant and revolutionary DVD release and I bought this movie only for the DVD options. |

| I haven't read the comic books so I can't judge them, I bought the DVD mainly based on the TV spots looking interesting. The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen (never read that comic series either) was a mess as a movie, Hellboy was much more entertaining. I didn't quite get the reason for Rasputin (in the comic maybe?) but the storyline mostly made sense in a comic book sort of way. Ron Perlman was good as Hellboy- best part of the movie in fact, Rasputin's tomb was WAY too big. It seemed obvious to me that a sequel was hoped for, I've read that one will be out in 2007. |

| I watched the whole movie twice becase my brother wanted to see it. I hated it. So did my brother. I thought the action was lame and boring. THe special effects if thats what they are were weird and not interesting. There is no moment of character developement. THe creatures weren't unique and looked like they were just drawn by a 5 year old. It could have had as great action as the great movie Lord of the Rings and i still wouldn't have liked this movie. Hellboy, is a rip-off and the biggest one alongside Van Helsing another lame film. I don't see what there is in this movie that is good. Usually in movies there is a joke you might not like but in this, there isn't one joke to laugh at. Or even crack a smile. Lame. |
