Saw Hellboy this weekend. It's a good popcorn, comic-book flick that I would recommend. Formulaic at times, but still pretty good. And after reading this I'm glad to say that it could've been worse. Much, much worse. What the hell were Hollywood executives thinking with those ideas -- a crimson version of the Hulk? Hellmobile? A dog? For heaven's sake -- who the hell are Hollywood executives? Morons?
Now a comic book movie does straddle a thin line between alienating the geeks and alienating "normal" moviegoers, but it can't be that difficult. To dumb down anything by that much deserves an ass-whuppin.
At least the director should feel vindicated. Number 1 baby!
