Well, I don't want this to turn into a flame war, but it's a very good movie. You should see it, there is plently of action and humor in it. [http://forums.massassi.net/html/biggrin.gif]

Saw it, didn't like it. (Most of you'l say no kidding he didn't like it)
It was just very anticlimatic, it didn't really go anywhere.

I loved it, it was great. Yeah kinda anti-climatic, but it's a nice change that they weren't going for some huge effects thing to be climatic for everything.

Alright, how good was it?

The Hulk sucked. Sure it had a good story, but it over developed each character. Was it better or worst than The Hulk?

Daredevil sucked even more. Better or worst?

...If you didn't catch the point... then i think you slept through the entire part where they explained what could happen if he... you know what... not to spoil it.

And this, I wonder, is what the deciding factor is. Usually movies based on comics are this way - people who have never heard of it before hate it, and people who used to be fans of the comics love it...

I wonder if it looks dumb to me because I've never even heard of the comics?

Actually, I've never heard of it or the comics before, and I liked it. It's based off of Hitler's craze to find the Arc and control super-natural powers. It fits very well into the aspect of WW2.

I thought it was OK at best...Can't really describe it. It was enjoyable, funny, but I don't know..

I'd give it a 6.5/10

About the Hulk having overdevelop characters. I don't get it, I thought developing your characters were a good thing?
2004-04-04, 3:20 PM #29
I just saw it, I didn't find it really good at all. I've never read the comic, so the actual Hell Boy himself was kinda a letdown, that german assassin guy was more badass :/ . Sure, it had it's moments, but there really was no development in the sotry, just seemed like a stream of events that led to an ending that came and went way to fast

Nothing that left me feeling with awe, but an enjoyable and well-done film, in my opinion.

And no, I hadn't heard of the comics.

I had heard of the comics before, but only in name. I think he would have looked better without the ponytail however.. That looked kinda.. weird.

I agree that there was quite an anticlimax, but I still liked it. Up until the ending it was a pretty good movie. (I'd say the best super=hero movie I've seen)

I enjoyed the movie, its not my favorite comic adaptation, but from everything i've heard, the movie was very faithful to the comic. i agreed with ebert's 3 1/2 stars.

if you want a rundown on the character/backstory Comics 101 over at moviepoopshoot.com has a nice one.

I liked it. Three people walked out at the theater I went to. I never read the comic, but I'm told it was very close to it, in regard to the message regarding free will, and what you are/how you look vs. what you can do/who you can be.

The end is anticlimactic in regard to the action, but the theme which climaxed wasn't about action. Like the end of the Cowboy Bebop movie.
