No offence, but are there really enouph comic book fans for this movie to do well? I'll admit I've never heard of heckboy before the movie. I tried to watch it but I couldn't sit through it, it just felt so pointless, so I left. The Fx were good, and they spent a lot of money on it, but I didn't get it. Maybe it will do well because it's the first big FX movie to come out in a long time, I don't know.

Actually the budget for Hellboy was something like 50 or 60 million...chump change when you consider how much other movies of this nature cost to make. Del Torro received approval for the movies budget before Spiderman came out and proved itself a success....so he wasn't given what other movies have been given due to the proven success of Spiderman and X-Men. Oh well...just goes to show that it's the content and not the cash that makes a movie good.

HELLBOY ROOLZ!!!!

And that was a while ago.

Anyway, it seems to be #1 for the weekend, so maybe it will do just fine. I dunno.

The movie looked good, but I was bored. And does it always have to be Nazis? That's just me.

The movie/history of Hellboy began during the height of WW2, and everyone knows from their history books that the Nazis and the SS were obsessed with mysticism and black magic and all things strange under the sun...just watch any bio on Heinrich Himmler, and you'll see how nutty those boyz were...so yeah, it had to be Nazis.

This from a guy who once said
"I actually enjoyed Scooby Doo 2. It's not the gratest movie ever made, but I enjoyed it"


........................Interesting.

And I stand by that -- It wasn't the greatest movie ever :)

Look, I'm not attacking anyone. Lets go back to my original post. I asked if there was a market for the movie, because I didn't know. I said it looked like they spent a lot of money on it - a complement - the money was all up on the screen.
No, I didn't care for the movie (I didn't get it) Not really a cause to insult my taste in movies, if any. Feel free to tell me it was a great movie.

Your original question has all ready been answered by yourself, "Anyway, it seems to be #1 for the weekend"


"...tried to watch it but I couldn't sit through it, it just felt so pointless"

The move had some pretty obvious main points. The "point" is that your actions define you as good or evil, not your origins. Hellboy was created by evil as a character of evil, but his actions define him as a good man. I.E. What you do is more important than who you are.

(I guess the same could be said of Scooby Doo too :))

dan,

My intention was never to insult you, only quote you.. Perhaps you insulted yourself?

[VFXJ]

Oh ya one more thing...It was a great movie.

[doghat]

Ok, my bad.
