I went to see it with my wife - first time we've been out to the movies in forever. It was fun. I was doubtful at first especially when I the

So if I liked the first Hellboy, would I like the second one? I was always a fan of the creepy occult kind of storylines, and I really liked the Hellboy comics too.

The second movie is a bit more over the top, I'd say. Still creepy, but at the same time with more cheesyness and a bigger plotline. But the characters get more depht, more personality, and it has the same level of excellent visual and comic-style. So yes, I'm sure you'll gonna like it! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

A lot of 'em, in fact. But don't know, if that makes a selling point for the_real_elwood. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif)

And i have to admit, that they have charisma. Would have preferred if one had been killed by a Drop Bear, but that's hopefully gonna happen in Hellboy 3. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/grinbig.gif)

Well, elves aren't a major selling point for me, but I won't dismiss the movie because of them. Anyways, my Shadowrun characters tend to be more like Hellboy than like the movie elves.
And if you're into Hellboy but aren't into buying comic books, there are free online versions of some Hellboy comics done up with flash player (http://www.hellboy.com/_rev1/3_onlinecomics.html). I really love Mike Mignolia's drawing style, and the comics are even a bit creepier than the movies. |

Hellboy was more Lovecraft and Hellboy 2 is more Brothers Grim.
If I hadn't seen Dark Knight (which is sublime), Hellboy 2(which is meerly exquisitly excellent) would be the best film this year to date. |

QUOTE (Pendaric @ Oct 25 2008, 07:02 PM) Hellboy was more Lovecraft and Hellboy 2 is more Brothers Grim. That is a very good way put it. I waited until Hellboy 2 was in the second-run theaters because I wasn't sure if it'd be worth seeing. Honestly, the trailers I had seen did not inspire me to rush out and see it. My wife wanted to go, so I figured I might as well go to. There are parts that could have been done better or that outright annoyed me, but they don't really bother me that much. Overall, I enjoyed it. -paws |

If a movie containing a scene wherein a drunken fishman sings Barry Manilow because he doesn't know how to tell the elfgirl he loves that he loves her is wrong, then I don't wanna be right.

Yep, some more screen time for the first thing would have been cool and bring more depth to the whole topic.
About the second point: well, it was ok and brought up some interesting questions to Hellboy I'd say. |

I have to agree, the first point could have been ignored for the most part. Is it not the job of the human PR people faction of the organization to make this stuff go away. Yes, we get it. hellboy hates being hidden from the world that he has saved countless times over and over. But hey, I think hellboy in the comics is a bit smarter than in the movie- or at least enought not to expose himself to the whole world.
