Hellboy...is anyone excited about this movie...?
I have been seeing the trailers and it looks like it should be pretty good...I just hope they don't butcher it like Daredevil...seriously disappointed with that one...

So what do you think...has anyone seen the trailers yet...do you think it's going to be good or crap...?

1. The previews look good.
I think I will check it out when it comes to the theater.

2. I think it looks good too
But is it just me, or does Hellboy look like Nightcrawler's bigger bad-ass brother? :-)

3. Nightcrawler's bigger baddass brother?
If only! If he was, I'd be dating him! Or trying to.

Seriously, given the way the things are done today, we've probably seen the best bits. Still looks like fun, though.

My nephew is wild about it and I can't really blame him. After all, I'm gonna see it and take him too.

Still, god forbid anyone tries to turn Sandman into a movie.


Khash.

4. Yes!
But I don't think Daredevil was all that bad. Now the Hulk - THAT sucked!

6. Yes, his name is Ron Perlman
Who also played Vincent on tv's "Beauty and the Beast". He's a great actor.

9. He was also...
The Viceroy on Star Trek: Nemesis, he was in Alien: Resurrection, The Name of the Rose, and a few others. Usually, when the script calls for a big ugly guy, they call Ron Pearlman.

12. Enemy at the Gates
The dude's pretty typecast IMO, but he plays the part decently.

16. Yeah, that is true. They call Perlman when they need a character like that
I did see Ron Perlman as a normal guy in this movie he starred in a few years ago. It was a dark comedy but I thought it was very good. The name of the movie is "The Last Supper", his character was a Rush Limbaugh type. (Cameron Diaz was in it also, before she was famous). If you get a chance, rent it. It was quite good, especially the ending.

14. true!
Oh, the Hulk was absolutely PAINFUL to watch. I nearly walked out, it was so awful.

Daredevil was ok, but not great.

Problem is the movies always do the origin story for the sake of the uninitiated, so there's less time for an intricate plot.

Peace!

7. I dunno, it looks cool
but I get the sneaking suspicion that it will be weak. I don't know why, just a vibe I get.

10. I looked into the back story, and it has some promise,
but who knows how well it will turn out. I lost a lot of faith in movies after last years non-stop movie after movie suck fest.

15. WATCHMEN
Edited on Sat Mar-20-04 11:01 PM by Pax_Rat
I hear Alan Moore's Watchmen is being produced for the big screen. Now that is a movie I am really interested in seeing!

Peace!

(By the way, sorry to sort of hijack your thread, but I can't start my own because I'm new).
