Hellboy was good. I especially liked Abe Sapien and Nazi clockwork assassin guy. Super cool.

Now I have a sinus headache and am waiting for the medicine to kick in before I go to sleep.

Never anyone up I want to talk to at times like this and always people up I want to talk to when I have to go to sleep.

Ah well.

Hellboy = quite cool.

My opinions from the comic didn't change in the slightest.

Liz = rocks worlds, deepest, most developed character in the story.

Abe = awesome, consistently cool.

Clockwork Nazi = well done, well adapted, properly creepy.

Hellboy = Eh, I really don't care about the character of Hellboy. He's one dimensional in the comics, and only gets a little better in the movie, but he makes a good punching bag to show off the bad guys and monsters.

Abe is so cool.

Me lovey the Abe.

S'kinda' dorky, being one of the few viewers in the theatre that has actually read the comics. Abe was -perfect-. *happy sigh*

I've read a little bit but not much.

I've been reading in the papers that its the sort of comic movie faithfully rendered that will appeal to the fan but leaves the non-informed out in the cold. Is that true? It would be a shame, but it seems to be the opposite from what has occured in the past, where comics are "mainstreamed" for mass audience and turn into total dreck. X-men seemed to strike a good ballance, with Singer really making it his own narrative with the same type of characters (exept the terrible Storm, bech). Maybe the recent golden age of the comic movie is nearing an end?

I don't know. I haven't really read Hellboy at all and I really liked it. Of course, I read comic books and thusly I have those memes in my head. I know what to expect, you know?

I think X-men and Spider-man were a nice balance.

Yes, you are right. Those both were wonderful.

I don't really think so. There's things in there that the readers of the comic will catch that others might not (pancakes, awesome!), but there's also some aspects added to make it more readily accessible to the common viewer. There's more narrative voice early on to introduce you to the story, and there's the love story angle added, which is alright.

In all, pretty well done. Hellboy himself remains pretty two dimensional, but not as much as in the comics, but his main purpose is as mobile scenery to show off the monsters and give others something to play off anyway.

And Abe was done perfectly.

He has eaten of the pancake! All is lost!
