Hellboy Reviews:
Note to Nazis: Never Trust a Mad Monk
2009-11-03 - In the search for wonder weapons, the Nazis allowed themselves to listen to a certain man by the name of Rasputin. Many people would know him as "the mad monk" or other terms, but the Nazis only saw a way t make a quick buck. I wish the movie could have brought about how he survived his fall better, how the seven didn't just have the power but there was also a certain witch named Baba Yaga that had quite the way with this world, but movies can only do so much. This movie did quite a bit, too, taking many of the things fromt he first ansd second graphic novel and giving them to an audience that wants. Mignola said that the answers he gave here made him feel a little bad, too, so the graphic novel readers were rewarded by getting explanations they may have otherwise found themselves without. In my world, that's a win-win on both fronts.

As far as the movie fgoes, it had a little bit of everything. There were the fables that mixed with the Hellboy flavor, introducing Nazis that readers would recognize but adding them with a twist. Seeing these things move on the screen was beautiful, too, because i really didn't expect so much from Hellboy going into the primetime. Still, add a great director, imput from the writer, and Ron P. (the only person i can see being Hellboy) and you have yourself a set-up. Then add in other things like the CGi that blended in beautifully, Chtulu-spawned beasts that were shout outs by both director and writer, and you have yourself a great story. It has pieces that make it a little bit of eveything, too, from the coedy styling of a joke here or a beast there and you have youself something that shines on the screen.
In the beginning I had my reservations, too, but the end product made me a happy camper.

For fans of the series, this is a great thing. From people who do not know anything about the series, it is something grerat with a title that echoes the Pulp comic days of yore. There are all sorts of things that are good to have here, garnering high priase from someone that has followed ( and reviewed) almost everything that has Hellboy in its pages. And I loved what was made here, much to my surprise.
Heavily recommended.

good comic to movie presentation
2009-10-15 - This is a good science fiction/comic book movie. Even though the characters have "powers" its not like X-Men, it definitely carries its own plot. Guillermo del Toro has a great vision for this movie that makes people enjoy it even it they didn't read the comic books. His movies just keep getting better and better.

Another Good Movie!
2009-10-11 - Had seen this movie on TV a number of times, but never got into it till I happened to watch it on TV one night. I really got into it and found myself getting a kick out of it. I ordered the second movie and it's great too. If you like a camp action movie that's just a be different then you'll like this and the second movie.

A sweet movie and well made DVD
2009-06-06 - Most DVD's don't have alot of effort put into them, Hellboy DVD's are beautifully designed with lots of behind the scenes films and interveiws my fav bonus is the old Edger Allen Poe cartoon witch unfortuantly is not included in the Directors Cut version so when I got the DC I still kept this copy just for that fact alone. The movie itself is great, fan's of H. P. Lovecraft, macabre and freakish stories and myths will be delighted with Hellboy's adventures, You can't help but like Hellboy played by Ron Pearlman of Beauty and the Beast fame, as he has far more in common with a working grunt/everyman or Jayne from Firefly, then Superman or Spider-Man and other comic book superhero's and yet he still is a superhero, not an anti-hero or rebel without a cause. I firmly belive that if a cast and crew get along and enjoy there jobs, the audience can usually tell from watching closesly and you can tell everyone had fun on this picture, especially the audience!

sci-fi
2009-05-29 - i enjoyed this action filled farce mainly because i am a fan of william hoylands. it will sure keep you awake.
