Hellboy (DVD, 2004, 2-Disc Special Edition)

I might not be the best person to review Hellboy because I'm not a hardcore comic book fan (or any kind of comic book fan for that matter). So if you are a Hellboy enthusiast - or simply a comic enthusiast - take what I say with a grain of salt... that said, I do like these theatrical remakes of the comics - Sin City is a favorite of mine if you've read my reviews. So now that my prefacing is out of the way - this is my blunt review of the movie:

Hellboy is a visually stunning and overly satisfying film that looks superb on any great television... My praise ends there because the list of no-name actors are not appealing or talented and the storyline drags a little bit. I've heard rave reviews about Hellboy from critics, comic fans, non-comic fans alike - and I've heard really negative reviews as well. I fall in between - the movie is worth a watch purely for the asthetics - but thats really about it. I couldnt get into the story and was rather frustrated by the acting and plot. But you decide and then write a review because I'd love to read it!
