It only makes me think of the travesty that could be the live action Evangelion film. I'm generally not a big fan of comic book to film adaptations, though I do like Tim Burton's Batman films and Raimi's Spider-Man, but those were mainly successful because they involved such talented filmmakers and all.

honestly, I think the movie looks terrible.

It will just be another Hulk-like action movie with cartoonish special effects. Does Hollywood come up with any original movies these days?

You do know that this is based on the comic book series dont you? And no, Hellboy isnt like the Hulk, considering hes basicaly a Demon that was brought to earth as an infant to destroy it. But he was captured by the "good guys" and raised to protect people instead of destroy them.

This movie is also based on the original mini-series and is supposed to follow it pretty much spot on and not change very much.

I'm really looking forward to seeing this as its actually going to follow the comic.

I first herd of Hellboy at a local Software ETC, there was a Hellboy videogame for the PS1, when i read about it, i found out it was based on the comic book.

When i first herd of the movie release was when i was helping my dad with his job as a janitor over at ComputerCafe, they make special effects (only CGI) for movies like: Flubber, The Hulk, Panic Room, Torque, and hellboy, they made other special effects for other movies (too much to name).

Anyways the movie looks alright, they could've changed the design of Hellboy a bit though, he looks kinda weird.

Uhhhh... the topic of this subject is:
"What do you guys think of Hellboy, do you think it looks good?"

Answering that question in an honest way is NOT complaining. I think the movie looks stupid, and I bet most people who ARE going to see the movie don't even know it is based on a comic book series.

If you like comic book movies, I respect it. And enjoy Spiderman 2.

The problem is that you didnt answer the question in an "HONEST" way, you answered in an "UNINFORMED" way.

You answered the question based on a 30 second trailer for a movie you had absolutely no clue as to what it was or is about. You yourself admitted not even knowing it was based on a comicbook in the first place.

To form an "HONEST" opinion of something, you need to be informed about it, otherwise your just making meaningless comments that you cannot support, whether you believe them or not.

Saw it. *Not one of the worst comic book films, but far from the best. *The movie really annoyed me because it had the potential to be really dark and they backed off on a lot of things to get a lower rating. *The love story was sappy and the ending is highly anticlimatic. *Still, the devil dogs that keep showing up were cool looking and the effects were generally convincing so not a complete waste of time. *Best scene is the one with the kid on the roof, best dialogue in the movie.

Same here. Only comic book fans, far-fetched action fans, and children would want to see this. (no offense to anyone)

Honestly, the action CGI effects look like something you would see out of a recent Godzilla movie. Which is pretty weird/timid for a big budget movie.

Action movies seem to get worse and worse each day.

Thats funny because i've yet to see a Godzilla movie that has effects of this caliber.

Not really, they run the gambit from good to bad. Your just focusing on the negative aspects for you and making it blind your opinion without even seeing it.

Quote[/b] ]What is with all these comic movies? There is like one out every single month!

It happens to be because of one of those groups that you insulted at the start of your post. Comics are very popular and they cover every genre you can think of, they have alot of really good characters and stories as well. It also makes for an excellent source to draw movies from because of a large existing fan base.

Morgoth

April 5th, 2004, 06:57 AM

Saw it and liked it. Certainly not up to the level of say Spiderman or Batman (the first ones) but much better than just about any other superhero movie of recent years. I enjoyed it a hell of alot more than I did LXG, this one actually flowed rather nicely. Plus, it had Nazis, big Cthulhu-like monstrosities, a really cool demon-dog harbinger of pestilence critter, and Rasputin (yeah, THAT Rasputin). Hellboy himself was the weirdest thing to get used to, I mean a big red guy with a stone hand, but once I did, it worked for me. Vastly better than the slop-fest that was last year's 'Hulk'.

Oh, and yeah, I have to say that Kroenen has to be one of the most twisted ideas for a character I've seen in a movie in quite some time. A clockwork cyborg zombie Nazi assassin! This one gets two stars just for that gruesome and horrific image, and there's quite a bit more to up the anty throughout. I just think it would have been great if they'd gotten good old Chris to replay the role of Rasputin for this film, of course that would have meant a more 'wizardly' and less physically fit take on the character.

So, in conclusion, not an earth-shattering experience like Spider-man, but far from a bad film. And that's my two cents.

Melkor

April 5th, 2004, 08:22 AM

I personally thought Kroenen was the highlight of the film. I just loved every scene he was in. The movie, I thought, was better than some of the more recent stuff we've seen in theaters, and while it's definitely no 'Spider-Man', I'd say it's worth the price of your admission. And as Clint said, it has Nazis, Rasputin, Sammael and other entertaining characters... What's not to like about it? Though I personally could have used less of Hellboy's one-liners, I was cracking up most of the time for the wrong reason, lol. http://www.kaijuphile.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/wink.gif

Things look pretty good for the makers of Hellboy, the film grossed $23,000,000 in two days.
Hellboy had a budget of $80,000,000, so it looks probable the film will be a success and gross more than it cost to make.

Second in the box office is Scooby Doo 2: Monsters Unleashed. It has grossed $50,000,000 ever since it opened in theaters on March 26.

But after doing some research and hearing more on the movie, it does sound pretty good. My bro saw it and he loved it. So I think I will enjoy it as well.

I saw it. It was good, yes it was, however, it wasn't the best. As in, nothing ground-breaking, or impressive, at least to what I've seen. Sammael rocked, I wonder if Tatopolis worked on him? Anyhoo, the ending was kinda anticlimatic, Hellboy seemed to have everything too under control, and it didn't leave moment for conflict. I also didn't like Rasputin, as he was portrayed in this movie. He simply looked weak, I couldn't really hate him, but I couldn't like him either. I also think Abe should have been in it more, he was a fantastic character. I give it thumbs up, it was worth a watch, but I don't know if I'll see it again..

What you really fail to grasp though Henry... and what Saruman pointed out to you... is how you're making an ignorant judgement without having even seen the movie.

Don't want to make it seem like I'm picking on you... this goes to both you AND Andross... I generally dislike people who make huge judgements on things without ever having watched or played or tried something. Just screams of ignorance.

But I know you'll probably give an answer, since we rarely see Andross.

Yup, discuss the film here.

It sounds really awesome thus far, with a plot involving faeres, a rebellion of mystical creatures, and a villain who will actually raise up the Ogdru-Jahad. It all just sounds so awesome, and I've shared this at the various Hellboy forums.

Currently, the script, Perlman, Blair, and ect. are greenlighted, and it'll enter pre-production once Del Toro finishes Pan's Labirynth and a budget is agreed upon.

'The Devil's Backbone' - now we are talking! One of the creepiest little films I've seen, in fact I'd probably rate only 'The Changeling' higher. The little kid's ghost is far superior to alot of big budget Hollywood creations too.

I enjoyed the first Hellboy, so I'm really excited to see what they do with the sequel. I also recall an interview where either Del Toro or the producer (whose name escapes me) kind of chuckled when Kroenen's death was mentioned, saying something along the lines of 'you can never keep a good villain from finding a way back'. Does that mean our spectral Nazi assassin is going to feature in the proceedings somehow?

kent

January 20th, 2006, 05:22 PM

I, myself, am excited as well! I absolutely adore the first Hellboy film and like Del Toro's films (even though the only ones of his I have seen are Hellboy and Blade II). But I think he has the right mind for a project that has a lot of creativity involved in its own world.

Del Toro and Mignola have thought the next, or future installments could involve Hellboy facing off against the Universal Monsters since the next flick is now being distributed by Universal. On top of that, instead of redesigning the seminal creatures, he'd prefer to go with the classic designs of the seminal monsters.

Question: How are these classic Universal monsters supposed to hold their own against Hellboy? Del Toro said that the monsters would be in their classic forms...how are those classic monsters supposed to even be a threat to Hellboy? I mean, after watching Hellboy fight Behemoth...I'm not sure how Frankenstein will even last five minutes against that beloved red demon.

I dunno, a "mere" ghost werewolf kicked his butt in the comic.

From the latest issue of Dreamwatch magazine...

Despite the fact that Hellboy 2 is still currently in production, Guillermo Del Toro has apparently been going ape**** over the possibility of Hellboy squaring off against the classic Universal monsters now that Universal has become the new home of the current Hellboy production and any further spawned sequels. Right now Del Toro is the only one interested in doing the Universal monsters storyline, but if he gets his way it will come to pass, especially considering that Hellboy 2 does set up for another sequel. If everything falls into place he plans on using the classic monster lineup including Frankenstein, the Wolfman, the Mummy, etc. and use their original 1930's designs to boot as well.

...this include the Wolf Man?

...this include the Wolf Man? There's an older thread for this, I believe it was said in there Del Toro's original thought was for the Wolfman to tangle with Hellboy.

Wonder if they'll keep the Larry part of him intact.

Or the fact that he can't seem to be killed by...anything.

Atleast, for long.

Sorry if I sound slightly whiney, by the by, or controlling, it's just...WOlf Man is about my favoriet of the Classic Monsters, and is still about my favoriet compared to some of the newer ones as well.

It just isn't wolf man if he doesn't have a few certain things...other wise he's just a were wolf.

...this include the Wolf Man?

Yep.

If everything falls into place he plans on using the classic monster lineup including Frankenstein, the Wolfman, the Mummy, etc. and use their original 1930's designs to boot as well.

Whether this includes the Larry Talbot character I am unsure, and right now there isn't any guarantee that any of this will come to pass at all, but if Del Toro has his way he definitely wants to make it happen one way or another.

As said, you can't have the Wolf Man without Larry.

Then he's not the wolfman.

That is very bizzare. I thought that he had been planning to finish it with a crazy Nazivaganza, since Kroenen was supposed to be back at the end of the second film. And isn't this sequel already supposed to be about an army of mythical monsters? Del Toro's a great director, but he may be letting the fanboy in him get in the way of the Hellboy franchise.

The Universal plot thing is going to happen, we all hope, in Part Three.

^Del Toro and Mignola are hoping too. As of right now there is no official word yet from Universal, but that more than likely won't stop Del Toro from pushing for it of course.

Since Del Toro's going to be keeping the original designs for this supposed third film, anyone wondering how a fight scene is going to be pulled off with monsters like the Mummy? And will more obscure monsters like The Werewolf of London and The Man who Laughs show up? Will this pave the road for Abbott and Costello Meet Hellboy?

Burkion

THere can never be another AandC movie again...

They're both dead.

And DAMN anyone who tries to remake them. I will slaughter them.

Only if you can get Jesus or whomever to ressurrect them.

Or it's made in 3D with excellent voices...

Maybe he could fight their zombies in the movie. But in all seriousness, a little tip of the hat to them would be nice.

Saw Hellboy for the first time recently and I have to say I really enjoyed it but this idea keeps on springing Van Helsing in mind and that's not a good thing.

Hopefully this flick, God willing,gets made, will put a smile:D on our collective mugs ,and make Van Helsing an unfortunate speedbump on the way to it. I have a great deal of faith in Senor Del Toro ,who talent matches his enthusiasm for the genre. Big fan of Blade 2, Mimic, and Hellboy right here.
