pat This is another case of me seeing a movie too late to get a scoop online, driving lots of traffic to our site based on the rabid desire for any knowledge by the scores of loyal fans. It's also a situation in which my opinion pretty much runs with the expectations of the movie and the met expectations when everyone generally agree the thing was way slick. We're talking mad dope fresh. Before release, stores were already selling out of Hellboy toys, trades, novels, and so forth. I work for the distributor for most of these products, and I know how much the stuff is moving, and the fact that even anticipating the demand, almost everyone has been caught by surprise. The action is cool, the effects are pretty damn sweet, save for one or two overly CG bits, and the humor is spot on. This is one of the best comic book adaptations there's ever been. It not only captures the look and feel of the series, it also works perfectly as a movie with very little compromise. Those adjustments were creator approved, so there's little room for complaint. If I had any complaints, I've forgotten them. Maybe this isn't the greatest movie of all time, but it's definitely worth the cost of admission, the eventual DVD, and whatever merchandise you can get your hands on. I can't wait for the inevitable sequel. As a way to pad out the word count, doesn't it suck when I really like a movie? How boring was this whole article? I tried to spice it up by pulling old synonyms for cool out, because on some level "dope fresh" will always be funny. Still, there was little insight. I could list everything I liked, but it would read like a second grade paper. "Yada yada was good. Blah blah blah was also good. I liked Mr. Hellboy very very very very very very much." The problem is, I like seeing good stuff over bad stuff (duh) but the bad stuff is more interesting journalistically. There isn't enough time to see both, though. Well, maybe there is. We'll see. |
