HELLBOY(2004)
A fun movie!! Well worth a watch or two(or three or
four or-----[LOL])!!! Well acted, a great story, and a pretty
good representation of the Dark Horse comics! A+
From Amazon.com:
I'm usually pretty skeptical about comic book to film
translations thanks to such esteemed turkeys as
"Captain America", "Daredevil", and "Punisher" (the
early 90's version with Dolph Lundgren). But this
movie, which could've been bad.....real bad, somehow
found a way to be ammusing and entertaining, while
at the same time staying faithful to the comics original
characters, storylines, and influences.
Now this film's not gonna win any awards and isn't
going to turn non-comic fans into hardcore comic
maniacs but it is a great pre-summer action/adventure
film with some comedy and a bit of the eccentric
tossed in for good measure.
I won't go into the usual routine and start giving away
plot points and story snippits. All I will say is "Go see
the movie". But before you do you must take all logic,
all sarcasm and cyncism and toss those all out of the
car window on the way to your local cinemas. This
movie has alot of things that may contradict alot of
things that most people believe in, but remember,
ITS JUST A MOVIE. Thats what movies are for, they
are meant to take the impossible and make it possible
and so on. Like I said, this movies not going to be an
award winner, and won't be on any critics ten best
lists, but it will be a film that you'll laugh at, and
generally have fun watching. Its a great escape
from the surrealistic existence that many of us live
every single day. So, take my advice, go see this
movie, sit back, relax, and have some fun. - morris8277
