    NOT Satan!

    By Yahoo! Shopping User  Aug 13, 2004 | 3 out of 3 found this Hellboy (2004) review helpful

    Pros: Faithful adaptation of clever comics

    Cons: Over most folks' heads, apparently

    Mike Mignola is the greatest! I almost would have preferred that this film be animated, since Mike's art is the whole point of Hellboy, but the 'animated' art in the special features made up for a lot of costume cheesiness.A LOT of people... seem to be confused by the Lovecraftian nature of both Hellboy's & the supernatural threat's origin...Hellboy is NOT the Son of Satan. Even the 'official' review got this wrong. Rather, he and most of the film's monsters are from extra-dimensional planes full of all sorts of creatures, which the conventional mind may INTERPRET as Hell, a la H.P. Lovecraft or Hellraiser.Maybe most folks' problem is that the whole film in general was a little over-the-top in it's introduction of so many comicbooky elements at once, but that's why I dug it. =)The special effects in particular bear mentioning. Abe Sapien was so impressive that I didn't recognize his voice until I read the credit on here. and I recognized him right off in Osmosis Jones... Read more Less

    Hellboy

    By Yahoo! Shopping User  Oct 19, 2004

    Pros: It was a movie...

    Cons: Oh boy

    This is one the very few movies that I was willing to leave before the end. The adds for the movie showed all of the scenes that would be of any interest to me. This left the rest of the movie. I willprobably watch it again on cable just to be sure t...hat it was as bad as I remember it but it will not be making it's way into my collection. Another comic book movie, fit for children, but not for adults. Read more Less

    Tied for fave sci-fi w/ Van Helsing

    By Yahoo! Shopping User  Aug 5, 2004

    Pros: awesome graphics, interesting story line

    Cons: a couple parts left me confused

    Overall I liked this movie very much. The special effects were great, the story had me on the edge of my seat, and I was satisfied with the ending. I liked it as much as 'Van Helsing' which had good graphics but you didn't get to see them... for more than a split second. There was good humour in it and Selma Blair rocked!!!!!I loved the whole concept. Read more Less

    Fun... but misguided

    By Yahoo! Shopping User  Aug 4, 2004 | 1 out of 3 found this Hellboy (2004) review helpful

    Pros: Fun, special effects

    Cons: misguided

    I know it's a movie, but I don't think you could change the makeup of Satan's son with a couple of candy bars. Is this to say that it would be possible to make the Son of God evil with a Kit-Kat?As long as you keep this mind and enjoy th...e show, the movie is fun and entertaining. Read more Less

    By Yahoo! Shopping User  Aug 3, 2004 | 1 out of 3 found this Hellboy (2004) review helpful

    Pros: Well made

    Cons: Didn't really go anywhere, no resolve

    Everyone I talked to raved about this movie. I didn't really see much to rave about. You knew exactly what was going to happen, it's the same in all of these super hero movies. Although this time the hero was the devil. There were some go...od things about this movie, but there was absolutly no resolve. I got rather bored with it and almost turned it off. We complained to the person working at the movie place that she recommends bad movies. Read more Less

    Pros: Satan as a good guy is hilarious

    Cons: The monsters at the end were just silly

    Not since Mystery Men has there been a movie worth seeing twice, let alone reviewing. Hellboy was great. Hellboy was fun. Hellboy was better than anything by Michael Moore, although I think they have the same management.Hellboy is a great example of ...how to make just about anything or anyone heroic. How can you root for Satan. You do, in fact you cheer for him. I also found the Kronen villian very interesting and menacing, but the supernatural villians did not really work. I think the creator of the film were simply trying to top their good guy.Still, despite that, I recommend Hellboy completely. I will be buying two copies, in case I where one of them out.
