Nice Idea...No Depth

Rating: 1/10 (3 April 2004)

A lot of the movie kept throwing new ideas and twists in but nothing was developed. Characters had extremely small roles. John Myers was hardly developed and yet played a crucial role in the end?? His credability was not brought out enough. And the powers of Rasputin were not really shown, he just kind of did everything he did with no real motivation. Characters were just kind of left out?
Hellboy's one-liners got old --Very old. He only spoke to an 8-year old in full speech and the sad attempt of a love scene in the end.
Overall the movie had the right idea but substance was lacking. The script could have used several revisions and a sequel would be a bad idea.
