Hellboy

As long as we recognize Lucas is washed up and most TV sucks, we'll all get along fine.

Liked it.

Lots of... logic errors, though. Things that didn't make any sense... even forgiving the entire Occult Wars angle.

I'll prolly purchase the DVD eventually.

I saw it last week on DVD at the in-law's place. It was okay. It's the sort of movie I'd watch on TV if nothing else was on and it was airing, but I probably wouldn't put it in the DVD player if I was bored.

I liked it.

Sure, the plot seemed to be missing some things, but the characters and acting were well done. It left me wondering what was next for the stars, and I consider that a good thing.

I'd give it a 7 out of 10.

The kind of thing that bugged me... and there was a few of these moments... is stuff like when the good guys are underground looking for Sammie. Sammie and Hellboy start fighting, and fall down that long ass shaft. They fall and fall, fighting all the way. They fall for a good 6 or 8 seconds. Then they crash through the roof of a subway station.... just how deep do those subways run, anyway?

In the same scene, I didn't like how unprepared the agents were at dealing with paranormal stuff. That's their job. You'd think they'd be able to handle anything that comes their way, especially when they have the equipment...

I liked it better when it was called Men In Black. Way too many similarities.

Wasn't a baaaaaad film. But I saw too much MIB and X-Men in it.

I could see that, but doesn't that make both rip offs of whatever contained the first odd team that dealt with problems the normal public couldn't?

Considering all three were comics first, that's not a suprise.

Uh, It's called fantasy. Sometimes you just have to let go and enjoy. If everything in the world was logical it would be boring. I thought it was a creepy, freaky yet an entertaining movie. Nope, alot didn't make sence. But I just let go, tried not to think about or analyze it to much and just chuckled. 7.5 out of 10

Even though it has its problems, I still like the movie.
