I've never read the comics, I just... really LIKED the first movie. It charmed me.

Raise your hand if you're counting the days until HELLBOY 2 comes out.


Random movie anecdote: I once made the mistake of cracking the line "You are not a beautiful and unique snowflake," to a group of my peers (18-24, literally) in a team-building exercise. The person I said it to, apparently having never seen the movie in question, looked at me as if I'd just kicked her. So did the group leader: "That's a terrible thing to say." I was like..."Uh, I didn't mean it like that. I was being sarcastic. ...Haven't ANY of you seen Fight Club?" It was an oddly self-fulfilling scene in terms of the movie being referenced.

Yeah, the monsters are what I found the most interesting about the trailer. They are so amazing I can actually convince myself that they live out there somewhere. And that is why I have to see it in the movies and not wait until it's out in DVD!

In the first one I was hoping to like the characters a little bit more. Hell Boy is OK (that scene where he follows the girl on her 'date' was seriously cute XD) and I LOVE Abe, but the girl... I don't even remember her name, but there was something lacking there. Not a bad movie, mind you, but I was hoping to like it more.

The pyrotechnic girl? Yeah, she was hard to identify with, I thought. I liked Hellboy quite a lot though, particularly the way he interacts with normal people, and his overall attitude.

I am hoping we get to see more of the side-characters developed in this movie, because I felt we got a good picture of Hellboy in the last one, but only surface views of his compatriots, nothing that really stuck in my mind.

Wasn't she like the only girl? XD Maybe it's problems with the actress, like that comment you got down there says.

I really really want to like this movie...

Also, what about the new Batman, are you going to that? ^^

...I can't help but also notice that the Big Bad in the trailer looks almost exactly like the Wraith on Stargate: Atlantis, which I've been watching for four seasons now. ::snert::

Wow, you're quite right about that!
