too much hellboy shoved into one movie (still pretty good though)

Rating: Null/10 (4 April 2004)

I surprised how much different the movie was from seed of destruction (the first helboy graphic novel) I could understand having that new guy being apart of the BPRD to introduce the charactors better that the comic book, but they didn't do that for the pyokenetic charactor. Instead of just having her apart of the team right at the beginning, they had to make things complicated and then she's finally apart of the team at the end. that really streached out the movie. which is why the ending was very rushed, even though that was supposed to be the most important part of the movie. the setting of where thing take place is all messed up too. it seems as though they wanted to shove all these hellboy stories (probably from the other volumes than just the first one) into one movie, when they should of just put some of them in the sequils. other than that, the movie's great. Ron Perlman look EXACTLY like hellboy!!!! John Hurt also looked just like Broom and is also a great actor (who'd a thought that's the same guy who played the elephant man).
