HELLBOY - DIRECTORS CUT(2004)
The directors cut of this fun movie!! Well worth a watch
or two(or three or four or-----[LOL])!!! A+
From Amazon.com:
I'm usually pretty skeptical about comic book to film
translations thanks to such esteemed turkeys as
"Captain America", "Daredevil",(ED NOTE: I whole-
heartedly disagree with this reviewers summation
of both CA and Daredevil! Apparently he watched
different incarnations of these two very, VERY good
movies!! !! LOL RP) and "Punisher" (OK, This one I
agree with!) (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
