Title: Hellboy
Post by: Liberator on April 11, 2004, 11:13:48 pm
Since no one is talking about it, I will.

I liked it, best comic book movie since Spider-Man.  Ron Perlman does his best work under prosthetics.  Effects were good, sound was good, music was good.

4/5 only because I am unfamiliar with the source material.

Poll's set for 7 days.

I'm looking forward to checking this out, but my wife has insisted that this be a dollar theatre flick. She's not willing to shell out the real money for a comic book movie.

No, no man needs Maddox, no matter how much its intended as humor.

He's an angry, womanizing, sexist, child-beating, alcoholic pirate.

What's not to love?

You know, if it wasn't for the fact that Maddox's writings have coherent sentence structure and mutli-syllabilic words, I would swear that Maddox is Kid Rock.

...err, yeah.

Kid Rock's not a pirate.

The only thing he's ever plundered is Pamella Anderson's nether regions.

I want to see this one. Don't know when it opens here, though.

Post by: Stealth on April 12, 2004, 03:24:40 am
i haven't seen it, and not sure if i want to either.  looks like a cheesy, low-budget rip-off of Xmen and Men in Black.

"Hellboy" (from the trailer) looks like he's a man with a big rubber head on.  it looks really fake, i don't know if it's supposed to, but it sure does.

What does look promising is the movie coming out this summer:  Punisher... Marvel comic's annual movie ;)

I cannot describe how bad Punisher looks. It looks on course to actually be worse than the Dolph Lundgren version.

Seen it, it's a fun mindless movie like League of Extraordinary Gentlemen.

Meh. The guy's a freaking pansy. Spiderman is supposed to make wise-guy quips, not be afraid of wetting his pants :doubt:

Anyway, I thought Hellboy was really good. Had some flaws, sure, but it was still great, imho.

Does this help?

Spoiler:

In the final days of World War II, the Nazis attempt to use black magic to aid their dying cause. The Allies raid the camp where the ceremony is taking place, but not before a demon - Hellboy - has already been conjured. Joining the Allied forces, Hellboy eventually grows to adulthood, serving the cause of good rather than evil.

Ugh, if you're comparing this movie to League of Extraordinary Gentlemen, then I may not even rent it.  That League movie SUCKED.  COMPLETELY.

Hellboy looks alright, but I just can't stand the actor who plays him.

The Punisher movie looks to be better than the Dolph Lundren version.  At least the story and action does.  I don't know if they made the right choice picking that actor to play him, but I'd have to wait to see more trailers or something to know if it's worth watching.

In either case, I usually don't even go to the theater and usually wait for them to come out on DVD anyway.

Good movie. Seemed to end rather abruptly though.
