Hellboy - by Arislyn on 21:57 04 Apr 2004
Runt and I went to see Hellboy this evening. It was darned good! Now, keep in mind that neither he nor I have read the comic, so we have no basis of comparison. It may not hold true to the comics at all, which would not sit well with enthusiasts, I'm sure.
The movie doesn't have much in the way of plot beyond the "nasty people are trying to destroy the world and we must stop them" line. However, the acting is good, the special effects are awesome and there is a lot of humor to be had. (The sort that is supposed to be funny. Not the kind where the film is so bad that it is funny.) That, and I found that I actually truly came to like and sympathize with the characters, which is a big plus in my book.

It's doing real good at the boxoffice too. I think Wil Wheaton does one of the voices in it but I'm not sure.
