Good movie - could have been better

Rating: 2/10 (3 April 2004)

I saw Hellboy last night -- the first words out of my mouth when I walked out was "I'm quite disappointed." It really looked like a great movie, and I normally love movies like this! However, the script seemed very rushed. The action was good along with some humor thrown in, but it seems like they should have left certain things out or expanded upon them more instead of just trying to put a little bit of the whole story in there. We didn't really find out much about what's going on between Red & Sparky; the battles were quick and not too exciting - even the final one only felt like it lasted a minute or two; and for the most part, it was too predictable. Maybe they'll make an extended edition DVD, but I doubt it. This is a movie I'll probably watch again when a friend gets it on DVD or it comes on a movie channel.
