Great action movie from a guy that knew nothing of Hellboy

Rating: 7/10 (29 March 2004)

Its kinda hard for me to judge this movie because I am not familiar with the Hellboy comic book. I saw this show in a sneak peak on Friday. I enjoyed the movie but judged it as a regular movie. When I first saw X-Men, Spiderman, The Hulk, and Daredevil, I did not do this. I judged them as remakes as I did know the stories and was familiar with all those comics. Anyway, hellboy was an entertaining movie with good action sequences and a lot of comedy. All the Hellboy fans around me seemed to love the movie so it was probably better to them than to me. I give the movie a 7 out of 10 because it was too simple to me. I enjoyed it but would not add it to my DVD collection. One positive about the movie was that it made me want to go out and look for a hellboy comic to read. Maybe after I read the comic, I will be able to judge the movie completely.
