My cousin saw the movie opening day and said it kicked a.s.s. I should be going with him to see it within the next week.

I saw it and I didn't particularly much care for it. It started out good but it was too long and not enough action for me. It was ok for a matinee, tho.

are you a comic book fan though thats the appeal to most fans or people.

Dude, the Colonel (or Colonel Fury) is a comic it-self. And sometimes I wonder if the Colonel who is posting on ATS isn't an incarnation of Nick Fury it-self lol...

j/k


Edit: I thought the previews of the movie looked pretty interesting. The previews always made it look like the movie is action packed, but I guess I'll have to wait and judge for my self.

Crap. You just ruined it for me. That guy IS Ron Perlman. What a tool! Who the hell cast this movie?

Ron Perlman is the man man bling blouw

I understand that most comic book movies always use a what seems like 'random actor' as the main character. But I enjoyed all those films just because I'm a comic book lover. I should be seeing the movie within the next few hours.

I saw the movie on Monday and I thought it was a great movie.

Lots of action, great story, awesome special effects. It had everything you could want in a movie except for hot naked chicks and lesbians.

I give it

Ahh of course!! How could I forget! :bnghd:

Yes I saw the movie and thought it was great. There better be a second movie too or I'm gonna ring necks! j.k

I actually liked it quite much. It is rare that a comic book movie does not take itself too seriously. Giving Hellboy the mentality and dialog of a teenager was perfect.

Silly me i thought Ted Danson was Hellboy but its Ron Perlman right?

yep drunk its Mr perlman

yes I've seen it pretty cool film ill add more when i can be botherd to not in the right state of mind right now.

I can't believe I wasted my money on this film....It is the same done and re-done version of "Beauty and the Beast." Ironically enough, Ron Pearlman (sp?) is the beast yet again...
I honestly hope they choose to never make anymore. I myself am upset for spending the money, and therefore feel dumber than when I went in to that movie.
