Even though the effects where great it just could not get me

Rating: 6/10 (7 June 2006)

Maybe this rating is a bit low if you look at the effects, and most of the acting but this movie just could not grab me the way a movie should. I'm not sure what it was that the movie lacked but i think it's the story. There is not a real point to where it's going, which is to bad cause it really had potential. The thing is that if they had made this more dark it could have been really awesome, but now it just missed something. Furtermore there was a part in the movie that really irritated me cause of the bad stunt. There is a point where Hellboy first encounters one of the monsters and chases it across town. Just when it enters the city you see Hellboy jumping over falling rocks. Here you can see him being lifted up so well that it really messed up the shot.
I didn't have high expectations for this movie and they lived up to them...
