HELLBOY Trailer Is Online & Will OWN YOU!
Hey folks, Harry here... HELLBOY trailer is up!!! Holy Toledo, is it just as cool as they come! This thing shows a little of everything and frankly... I can't wait for the big QUICKTIME versions next Monday, but this is better than nothing at all! SO - without further ado, here ya go...
HELLBOY!

+ Expand All
-
That was a good trailer
FP'ers are hosers -
After seeing great-looking still images of this film for months, I gotta say... seeing everything in motion is pretty un-impressive. The whole add had the smell of League of Extraordinary Gentlemen about it. As far as "kicking my ass" goes... a swing and a miss. -Half
-
The trailer looks pretty slick, but the premise doesn't seem all that original (I'll probably get slammed for that comment - is this based on a comic or something? - I'm really gonna get slammed if it is and I don't know it) It looks like a cross bewteen X-men (freaky mutant types) and Men In Black (secret organization that protects the world). I wish the trailer let me know a bit why Ron Perlman has a big red Rocky Dennis shaped face. There's a reason, right?
-
That trailer looks cool as hell - roll on the release date!!!!!!
-
This trailer is f'in incredible. Hellboy seems to move the way I expected him to. I can see some simmiliarities from the comics but will it follow a story line from the comics? Or is it just scattered? This movie has X-Men potential. Lets hope The suits handle this one with care.
-
Neither was Ron Perlman. The makeup is lame. John Hurt will of course be good as usual. This will suck just like Ive been saying from the start. Like The League of Extrordinary Gentlemen, Ill pass.

Ron Pearlman is going to fucking own this role! Hellboy looks aw
by sexybeast
Holy shit that was awesome. When Hellboy smashed the front of that car, my reaction was muther fucker now thats a bad ass. 4/2/04 I CAN'T WAIT! -
seriously it fucking doesn't download all the way, so it fucking stops every time it gets congested completely ruining the experience. Why can't studios learn that Quicktime is the best format? -
That trailer was terrible. I'm unfamiliar with the source material, and this may very well turn out to be a good movie, but the pacing, music, and choice of FX shots add up to a trailer that fails to generate any excitement. Hellboy's entrance is laughable, since it requires a built-in familiarity with the character that a mainstream audience simply doesn't have -- if you doubt that, wait till this trailer hits theaters. I don't normally buy in to the "Harry is a sell-out that shills for his buddies' movies" argument, but I think I've just been converted.
-
Comic sounds cool. Probably cooler than the film (isn't that always the way). I'll check it out.
-
X-Men was terrible. X-men 2 was just as bad. I refuse to belive that any one who enjoyed just one X-Men comic would like the movie. It wasn't X-Men, it was some thing new, and difffrent. Why label it X-men when it's something completely diffrent? LXG sucked balls. Hulk was a let down, even though I can't put my fingure on why. Blade was fucking rad, even though it had plenty of bad points. Blade II was a music video. It looked rad but that was it. Daredevil was unbearbly bad. So much so that it mad me angry. Batman & Batman Returns were great (even though Batman can bearly move in the suiyt he was in). Spider-Man was the closest were ganna get to a good comic book movie. Even though it too had many flaws. Anyway Hellboy trailer was rad. Let's just hope the movie is, cause we can't afford an other bad comic book movie. I have a feeling...it will (be rad that is).
P.S. X & X2 = Worst comic book movies yet. That's right you heard me. Even worse than Howard the Duck, The original Punisher, Spider-Man and Captain America. Mwha Ha Ha. -
This is a joke, right? A giant demon starring Ron Pearlman? What genius greenlit this fucking movie?
-
My only wish was that they CGI'd his eyes to have that yellow, pupil-less gleam to them. But everything else..the behemoth, mannel, Abe(even though he reminds of me Niles, Sideshow Cecil, the walking stick from Bug's Life, etc.), and the look of the sets...me likey.
-
Stinking Yahoo always messes up my machine when I try to play video from it.
-
Deja Vu all over again. I pray for Hellboy those aren't finished FX.
-
What the hell is cool about this. Smells like Judge Dredd to me.
-
Man... this looks really really bad! even worse than MIBII and Daredevil!
Whats all the hype about?! -
That was too fucking cool.That's all I can say.I'm going to watch it again.
-

I'm already sick of this movie. Can you say overhyped?
by gere's assgerbil
Harry, man, ease up. We all know you're having jizz-fits over this one, but ya gotta get a grip.
-
Are they fighting against Nazis in this movie?
-
Where's Will Smith?
-
Just my first impression. Same overdone set design and direction that always comes with this director. Maybe a trailer with character moments will be more impressive but I have my doubts.
-
Did anyone else notice that the music at the end of the trailer was from the norways Dimmu Borgir? I think the song is called Progenies of the great apocalypse. Not sure if it
-
Seaquest DSV, biatch.....
-
League of Extraordinary Gentlemen?
-
Think the trailer would be better if it showed you more of who the bad guys were, hence why some of you guys dont like it. Satanic Nazis, Rasputin - bring it on baby!!!!!!!!!
-
This looks like a lot of fun. Can't wait for it.

"who gives a damn about how much profit it makes. Do you serious
by digdig
What has happened I noticed is that a lot fo the same geeks who pride themselves so much on superior taste in movies (oh sorry... FILM) still fall back on box office stats, or other people's opinions to make their points for them. Not sure why, and i'd actually like to hear from people that quote box office takes or potential takes why it is they think that validates their opinion or makes them seem like anything but people who read rotten tomatoes every week?
-
If it weren't for RealPlayer I wouldn't get to see anything online. This movie looks damn impressive. I haven't ever gotten my hands on a Hellboy comic so as far as being faithful goes I can't say. Nevertheless i'm excited about this movie, it will help fill the void left by "The Leaguue of Extraordinary Gentlemen".

is it just me or does hellboy's makeup really fucking suck?
by bearison ford
i know everybody has been saying otherwise but he looks like a claymation creation.
-
I haven't even seen the trailer so I won't comment on that, but based on the talkbacks I've perused, the vast majority of you people are negative, rude, over-analytic and just plain whiny. You people must be the most miserable husks of humanity there is. I haven't seen a talkback yet where people actually LIKED the movie. Incredible. Why bother even waking up, opening your eyes and interacting with the rest of the world if everything apparently sucks so bad? Gee-bus...
-
'THIS SPRING GIVE EVIL..HELL' Who's the raving spastic who comes up with this shit? Introduce characters..show the cool guy saying a cool line..show the bad guy..then have a montage of action set to some gay ass metal song. End with a lame line that all the chodes in the audience laugh at. still might be a cool flick
-
I agree with it kind-of sucking. It looked like a large lumped on prosthetic, not an actual skin-and-bone face. Other than that, hard to tell from the trailer what the final product will be like. I think it's unfortunate it gives off an LXG vibe. They should try a darker tone rather than 'slam-bam here are our supernatural bad guys, and here is our extraordinary league of heroes who will stop them'. Too LXG and X-Men. At least go for a different tone in the preview to set it apart from the similar movies that have been out in the last 6 months.

If he was CGI, we'd complain. If he's Rick Baker quality makeup
by terry_1978
No wonder the world hates us. Though they could go for an amalgamation and do a CGI/makeup job, if possible.
-
From me at least. I know I'm going opening night and I'm sure I'll be buying the DVD when it comes out. If you're not excited about seeing Hellboy on the big screen, then you are no film geek that I'd like to meet.
-
I cant believe they use a Dimmu Borgir sound at the end of the trailer! I knew it was only a matter of time before hollywood caught on to norwegian black metal. I'm not a big Dimmu fan, but its alot better than using Linkin Park or Limp Bizkit.
-
Screw the negative talk; that trailer kicked freakin' ass (or "the hellboy trailer owns" as Harry would of put it). About the Hellboy make-up comment - it's based on a comic book for crying out loud.. we're not talking about Lord of the Rings here. Oh no!.. I just mentioned Lord of the Rings on a AICN talkback!!.. The lemonade! Look at the lemonade!! OH GOD HERE THEY COME!!! *Back on topic* Cool trailer. Can't wait to see it.
-
BEARison Ford--aside from having the lamest fucking ID ever--is right on. The make-up looks like plastic. The tagline "give evil Hell" was garbage. The whole thing had this "we're so hip" air about it, and it just looked...blah. But Del Toro is Harry's "brother," remember, so there is no doubt this site will shill it no matter how it turns out. It may end up being good, but right now, it smells kinda DARDEVILly.
-
Looks pretty lame. Looks like every other comic book (Oh I'm sorry, I meant Graphic Novel, dorks) movie that Hollywood shits out. Lets have a superhero movie where the plot DOESN'T revolve around saving the world. I take that back, lets have a movie without superheroes. There. That'd be cool.
-
You guys should check out the dimu borgir website to see the video for the song in the trailer. Its production is actually pretty good for a "black" metal band. Their new album isnt that good, but their old grim stuff is good.
-
Then we could both lie back and "reflect on what we'd done".
Heh heh.
Looks pretty cool, actually. Off-beat? Sure. And the premise isn't entirely original, but who cares? It looks like fun. And Ron Perlman kicks ass in every film he's in.
But if I could get back to Selma Blair... -
Like others pointed out, that "in-the-browser" Realplayer sucks monkey balls. Nothing to ruin a trailer quite like having it pause every 10 seconds as it loads. And dare I mention it's so frickin' small on the screen that even if there was more detail to the make-up/prosthetics, we can't *see* it. Dice once said, "If you get real close to the screen like I do, you could see bush!" Uh-uh, no way with this shit. Believe me, I had my eyeball against the fucking glass just for Selma, and I still couldn't get any detail.
-
I swear to God you fucks are pathetic caricatures. It's a comic book movie. It's faithful to said comic and even has unparalelled involvement from the creator/artist. If you claim to like comic book movies, stop bitching. If you don't like comic book movies, go away, nothing to see here, the 'Seabiscuit' talkback is to your right. You whiny pukes seem to have NO clue what you want. This is an early teaser trailer and you're dissecting it like a bunch of film-school wannabes. I'm just waiting for 'fuck Hellboy and Del Toro, fuck them up their stupid asses'. In this case, boys, YOU GUYS are the fucking clownshoes.
-
"If you are excited for this, shoot yourself in the face. There's no hope for you." What the fuck is that all about? If this isn't your cup of tea then stay the hell away from the movie, don't piss on everyone else for being excited about it. I'm actually looking forward to seeing this on the big screen next year and I don't know shit about HELLBOY.
-
I'm a Hellboy diehard, I'm buying a ticket for opening night and I will preorder the dvd the moment Amazon.com lists it, so yeah I'm a little biased. I will support this movie if for no other reason than to help pave the way for more film projects based on creator owned comics (Monkeyman and O'Brian, Savage Dragon, Madman, and Bone.) But the trailer does have a bad LXG feel to it. Where are all the shadows? I mean on a sunny beautiful clear day Mignola would still fill the panels with at least half blacks. The guy probably has single handedly doubled the Higgins india ink company's revenue. The car punch rules, the costumes are right on. I'm praying this is a case of a great movie with a badly cut studio trailer.
-
...this trailer doesn't make me want to know more. Frankly, it looks like a pilot for a lame UPN show. Don't know why Harry's all excited...Must've been that blowjob he got from Del Toro.

The trailer is wicked... HELLBOYS colors look a tad flat though
by lil ze
... probably because it aint in glorious quicktime. Remember guys, it's only a teaser. I can't wait to see more, especially the baddies. It's gonna rock me thinks. I hope they enrich Hellboys colors though. Make 'em rich like the comic. I betcha it's gonna be wicked.

Why cut a trailer like that flop LEAGUE OF EXTRAORDINARY GENTLEM
by spacesheik
My goodness if any aspect of Hollywood needs an enema its movie marketing....
-
Indeed, my ass has a new owner, and his name is HELLBOY!! Fuck yes, it is such a relief to have a movie to look forward to after LOTR has come and gone. Suicide was actually on the table for me, but Guillermo deo Toro has changed all that. I have every faith that we have a winner on our hands here, and I eagerly await its arrival. And, to all naysayers, LARGE SODOMIZING TENTACLES AWAIT YOUR RECTA!!!
-
Okay, so I'm pretty much a Hellboy newbie here (I've only read the comic on playboy's site), but I'm a little disappointed. It seemed like in that comic, there was this very dark matter-of-fact atmosphere that is missing from this trailer. When I originally heard they were filming in Prague, I thought "Awesome!" because, really, all the old weathering architecture is really conducive to a creepy gothic kind of atmosphere, and I guess based on that, I was expecting the wrong thing. This seems much more colored and lively than the darker, sepia-toned images I was starting to form. Again, I can't really say much, not knowing much more about the comic, but thats just my impression. :-/
-
...cuz it does look just interesting enough, and the number of movies that cross the "interesting" threshold is dimishing at a rapid rate.
-
look, i really don't have anything invested in this movie so i'm looking at it from a purely critical eye of "do i want to see this." there's a lot of things that do look cool: the villians (what we see of them that is, i'm going more off the stills), abe sapien (great cg there), and of course selma blair (great in storytelling, etc)... but like I said before, my chief observation is that our main character, the aforementioned "hellboy" is looking borderline ridiculous with that makeup. this isn't anything against del Toro or Baker, cos they're both incredibly capable, that's just what i'm seeing... I'm going to be very interested in how this film is going to be received by fans and the public.
-
I hope the boys in marketing don't fuck this film like their peers fucked Master & Commander. My suggestions for the next trailer, on the off chance that anyone cares: Less Audience Surrogate Guy, & less Abe Sapien. More of that great Hellboy attitude. Change "Give evil hell" (too reminiscent of The Phantom) to "Give the bad guys hell." And while we're at it, drop the "We freaks gotta stick together" stuff. It makes the movie look like an X-Men ripoff. Unless the reviews totally slay this picture, I expect to be there opening weekend. I'm fired up in spite of the trailer, however. Not because of it.
-
So, I know nothing about Hellboy. There was the one creature that looked like an alien or fish or something. That voice sounded like Niles from Frasier (David Ogden Stiers). Am I off the mark?
-
wow, they actually put that song there. pretty great song from a bunch of 40 year old dudes in faggot vampire costumes. good video though, it's called PROGENIES OF THE GREAT APOCOLYPSE.
i keed, i keed. dimmu isn't totally gay just 2/3rd's. -

I'll go see anything that Selma Blair is in after that movie from a couple of years ago, "The Sweetest Thing". There was a scene where she comes out of the bedroom in little tiny panties rubbing her pussy after she was fucked hard all night long. Yes, she was only acting, but it was convincing and damned hot.

I know this is kind of off-topic, but people always site Limp Bizkit and Linkin Park as snigger-inducing examples of "stock" Hollywood music. While I'm not necessarily defending their quality as musicians, how many trailers (besides for 'The Fast and the Furious') do you really see cut with music from either of those bands? Seriously. It just kind of annoys me that people think it's okay to make generalizations like that because they "fucking hate" those bands in particular.

Something new to hate!! My GOD we are SO MUCH COOLER than people who actually DO THINGS WITH THEIR LIVES!!!

The people who didn't like this trailer are the same people who
by rcamacho2278
people who should be out there watching movies like Cat in the Hat and HONEY instead of good films.
-
Nothing really to say. This looks great. I wouldn't have posted until I read Nyx_Spiral's post. That shit honestly made me laugh out loud. I mean, damn. It made me feel bad for him. If movies were made to please the "expert" nine-year-old comic book readers, they'd bring in about as much as Gigli did every time. Movies based on ANYTHING (books, games) have to be changed. I mean, come on. You want every detail of the X-Men translated on to film? That would be the longest, corniest movie ever. Viva la Hellboy.
-
No, you're on the mark; that's David Hyde Pierce. The actor behind the latex is actually a man named Doug Jones, who's been in a few movies you've probably seen, but unfortunately enough for him, Guillermo was looking for a remarkably erudite voice, and so after failing his "audition," they went and got Niles to do ATR.
-
I was worried they were going to fuck up this movie, and I was going to hate it. I gotta say that the trailer looks cool. I can't wait to see it now. Now if they'd just make a seriously kick ass Swamp Thing movie, I'd be happy.
-
I just think we're getting into a bad habit where it's the first thing we think about when we're just fans. I't something that's completely out of our control, and I don't like the fact that first week's box office seems to be the thing people wanna talk about more than what they thought of the movie on monday.
-
That's HELLBOY right there
-
From what I was able to decipher in that streaming pile of shit, this looks like a HUGE disappointment. Maybe the asses who cut the trailer just fucked up and included the worst lines of dialogue. Anyway, doubt it can be any worse than LXG or Daredevil.
-
Actually, it sounds like David Hyde-Pierce, who plays Niles on Frasier. And that's who it is. David Ogden Stiers was Maj. Winchester on M*A*S*H.
-
That crappy director will out do himself next April.
-
After about two seconds I turned it off. I'm dying to see the trailer but I'd rather wait for glorious QuickTime, thank you very much. I thought we had long since moved beyond "real" media. Sure, I'm all for the nostalgic appeal of PacMan, Space Invaders and NetScape 2.5, but there are no redeeming qualities to this shit format. Must.... have.... patience....
-
This trailer shows that they're pretty much faithful to the story. The problem is, based on this trailer, it looks by the numbers and over designed, directed, like Blade II. The lighting is bad and the characters look far too cartoonish. In stills, it looks fine, in action, it looks crap. It's such a shame that they wanted to deliver this as a straight action movie when both X-Men movies have been successful by not directly adopting this formulaic approach. I urge any of you who have never read Hellboy before to watch the movie and then read the comic books. Because, you'll be disappointed doing the reverse.
-
Yeah, I would have preferred a darker tone more akin to the comic, but the trailer definitely has me stoked for the film! Perlman is gonna rock; mean when you look at Mig's art, the casting is so perfect, and those two or three one liners already got me grinning. And it's nice seeing some real god damn make-up instead of CGI, especially with Abe, who just looks fuckin' bad~ass. I'll drink to this one.
-
Thanks for your "negative, rude, over-analytic and just plain whiny" post about people who who crack on movie trailers you haven't even bothered to watch. I'm sure we will all learn the error of our ways by your shining example.
-
Squinting at the screen this morning watching John Hurt purr his lines was worth the wait Selma looks great Hellboy punching out a car what more can i say. Quite a lot actually but bring on Quicktime.Its hammer time.
-
Well, the X-Me- um, I mean Hellboy trailer certainly looks slick. And I'm a fan of Guillermo del Toro. "The Devil's Backbone" is one of the best ghost stories I've ever seen. Only problem is it all looks like a bad rip of X-Men. Mutant superheros banded together to fight... what's that... oh yeah, EVIL... or something. Been there, done that, let's move on.
-
DOES IT HURT YOUR LIL PUSSY EYES TO READ IN ALL CAPS. here you go.
dont cry no mo .O.K. -
As far as the look of it-it's like the comic with the lights turned on. But it looks like an interesting rental...can't wait.
-
And if that is the practice, then please delete SYCOwhatevers lame insults too, thank you very much.
-
So don't base your opinion on them. If I saw every film that I enjoyed the trailer for then I would've actually seen Revolutions and would've missed the Royal Tenenbaums.
You people need to learn how to wait or learn how to immolate yourself. Now, fuck off and come back in six months. -

I for one am sick and tired of
harrys totally biased reviews,
this trailer was a fuckin joke
truly awful I couldn't stop laughing at the ineptitude of this film
the worst thing I have seen since
matrix revolutions
this has straight to DVD written all over it
like somebody said in a above post ,I doubt this breaks 20 mill in the cinemas
after the shit fest that was daredevil they should stop doing these kinda movies
the only people that go to see this kinda movie are either geeks or homosexual comic fanboys
I mean get real, Ron perlman painted red with funny lumps on his head
what kinda fuckin idiot is gonna go see this shit
most people will see this trailer and go What The Fuck was that all about
it just gets worse all the time -
I'm all for it to succeed, but realistically, it's a hard sell... the public is already getting burnt out on superhero films for starters.. but keep in mind, from the perspective of a parent who has no idea about this film.. it's a movie about a guy from Hell, that shoots guns, and there's Nazis in it? Does anyone else see a smear campaign or protest/boycotts when this hits theaters?
-
Holy crap you guy make me ashamed to be a fan of film. This is the type of movie that people like yourselves should rally around, if not only because its a FAN film made by a FAN. Jesus H. Christ, most of you sound like to-good-to-be-here pussies. Why the f*ck do you even visit the site? Do you think you could do better? If thats the case (and I am 1000% sure its not), then shut your pie-hole and do it. Enjoy the fact that we live in a time where films that we only dreamed of are now being made. IF YOU DONT SUPPORT THESE FILMS....THEY WILL STOP MAKING THEM! Even though some FAN films (LXG,Daredevil, etc) were not great final products...if they did not recieve the support ...the big fat bastards that shell out the CA$H would stop shelling it out.... Again, I reiterate...if you cant do better yourself..shut your face... If you can, get off your ass and do something and I promise I will be there to support it.

I am psyched for this movie!! That said, here's why the trailer
by k0ny
STOLEN FROM X-MEN: 'We freaks need to stick together because the humans hate us.' and Wolverine's 'bad attitude' for Hellboy.|| STOLEN FROM LXG: The titles, the 'secret organization' and the 'Hey new guy, meet the rest of the team' schtick. As well as, 'this is the mysterious FEMALE member of our group.'|| STOLEN FROM MATRIX: 'Hit the front of a car with a part of your body and make it flip over' and posess super-human powers but fight with guns instead.|| STOLEN FROM MEN IN BLACK: Giant monsters with tentacles turn a potentially deadly situation into slapstick comedy.|| STOLEN FROM VIDEO GAMES: Evil Nazi forces are secretly plotting the destruction of the entire world and the fate of humanity rests in the hands of an unlikely hero.||||THIS MOVIE'S TITLE SHOULD BE: D-riv-A-tiv (I'll still be lining up to see it though. I like comic movies!)
-
When are people going to stop doing this shit?
-
Yes, the trailer kicked ass. No, it wasn't perfect. I think it suffered (like many think here) from the generic trailer syndrom ("in a world..." "a hero will rise..." "and will blow you away..."). THAT SAID, there are undeniably BRILLIANT moments in it. Hellboy's makeup rules; Perlman IS Hellboy. The attitude is there. The 'whatever, guess I need to put up with some more shit' attitude. Spot on. It *looks* like Blade 2, but Blade 2 was also Mignola-esque, so no problem there. I understand that selling Hellboy to a wide audience is what this trailer is trying to do. Hence you get Agent Meyers being led wide-eyed through the BPRD, Bruttenholm explaining to him just what the hell they do, obligatory stuff. I DOUBT the entire movie is going to be an intro-reel, like the first X-Men. And something the doubters (more like haters) need to understand is that they're assuming in THIS trailer that you know shit about Hellboy. Yeah, not the way I'd go about doing it exactly, but Hellboy isn't quite as accessable a character as, say, xXx, or Paul Walker in 2 Fast 2 Furious. I'll be among the first to admit I didn't like the silly 'Charlie's Angle's' trailer for Kill Bill, and would've rather had the 'bootleg' trailer be the one that everyone saw, but it's a sad reality that Revolution wants to make some money with this movie, and may have to tap in to the pockets of the uninitiated. I wouldn't worry about the shot-per-second editing. The final movie will be what we'll remember, not the trailer, and I couldn't have more faith in Guillermo. People comparing this to League of X-traordinary Gentlemen have no freaking clue what they're talking about. Read a Hellboy set report, or go to the site and ask Guillermo a question.

Ron Perlman beats Bruce Campbell in the Huge Fucking Chin contes
by durendal
I swear, a good 80% of Perlman's face is made up of CHIN. Still, he's pretty kickass, although I wouldn't say every movie he was in was great. Hehe, The Shaft, anyone?
-
Yes, maybe the trailer could have been better, but, with a director like Guillermo Del Toro, the movie will be fantastic!
-
I fucking loved it. I'm sure the movie won't be all action-y like the trailer is, but it definately made me squirm in my seat. To all you naysayers, Come on people! They have to get some asses in the seats besides comic nerds.
-
I remember first hearing about this project. I had no idea whatsoever what the hell a Hellboy was, (I still don't know). There are a couple of good things and a couple of bad things about this movie. Good: Well Ron Perlman. In my opinion the Hellboy costume looks a little cheezy and hokey, but Ron Perlman to start off doesn't look much like a human anyway, so he fits perfectly into this costume. I thought the trailer was pretty cool, kind of mixing that high-tech X-Men shiny metal feel with a sinister supernatural plot (Was that an undead Nazi in the trailer? Cool!) Bad: Uh, no offense to you fans, but it looks kind of ''done'' already. Nothing new here. But I'm hoping we'll all be suprised. I think this movie will either be an all-out bomb (lets hope not) or a really fun popcorn movie. Its really cool that they decided to make this movie, I think its kind of a nod to the fans, because Hellboy is relatively a nobody as far as superheroes go. But hey, so was Blade, and that movie was successful. Here's wishing that this movie will be pretty cool, certainly a lot better than The Punisher (shudders) Why? Why? Marvel must you make lame-ass superheros into feature-length films, a la Hulk, Daredevil? But its ok, Spidey 2 and X3 will rule!
-
God, what a disappointment. The effects aren't too bad and Hellboy looks sharp, but the trailer really gives the impression this will be just another would-be fantasy film getting on the gravy train. The trailer I saw suggests this movie only aspires to be Men In Black's sick cousin, which would truly be a letdown. Also, from the looks of the trailer it appears the Myers character is like the "leading man" guy; what's up with that? Why do filmmakers always feel the need to have a normal human character in the midst of these genre movies? Because us fans won't be able to relate and enjoy the movie otherwise? Bullshit!!! That's a filmmaking convention I am truly sick of. I'm not even sure I'll go and see this when it comes out now, and I was looking forward to it. Hopefully the next trailer will be a big improvement.

This trailer is extremely disappointing. Seeing how it is only the first trailer there still might be hope but doesn't look that way. I've enjoyed Del Toro's past work and was very excited when I fopund out he was directing Hellboy, as I have whole-heartedly loved Mignola's work ever since I can remember. This film reeked potential and it seems that "hollywood producer types" have gotten their hands on it and said to make it look more like X-men. That's fine and dandy for X-men but not for Hellboy.
First off the trailer is cut horribly and to start it with some punk kid who isn't even in the comic so we can possibly identify with him to understand the other characters? come on. cheap ass trick. I also found everything from the props and sets too polished. I was waiting to see Del Toro's "gritty-ness" and nice colour palette like in Backbone and many parts in Blade 2, but to no avail. Hellboy's makeup was a joke. He's flatter than a baby's ass and with absolutely no texture on his face. They also made his jaw bones too wide so Pearlman can't even talk. And what the hell is up with Abe's voice!? Getting Niles from Frasier to do the voice over, what kinda crap decision was that? It's fine for Treasure Planet but not here, not for Hellboy. Also, too many enemies, that demon doesn't even fit the Hellboy universe and they all being called "freaks"? Since when did they start calling each other freaks? May as well call them "mutants". I could keep going on but will leave it for another day. I really wanted this to be good but unfortunatley I'm taking my one-sheet wallpaper of Hellboy off my computer in absolute dismay. All they had to do was film Seed of Destruction and for the trailer have Hellboy's jetpack exploding and falling through a castle to find himself surrounded by undead. Cut to him firing his pistol. Cut to title sequence. It would have gotten the point across and left everybody wanting more and for people who don't know Hellboy saying what the f**k?, I wanna see more.
Please Del Toro there is still time. Use your angst. Make it great. -
I remember first hearing about this project. I had no idea whatsoever what the hell a Hellboy was, (I still don't know). There are a couple of good things and a couple of bad things about this movie. Good: Well Ron Perlman. In my opinion the Hellboy costume looks a little cheezy and hokey, but Ron Perlman to start off doesn't look much like a human anyway, so he fits perfectly into this costume. I thought the trailer was pretty cool, kind of mixing that high-tech X-Men shiny metal feel with a sinister supernatural plot (Was that an undead Nazi in the trailer? Cool!) Bad: Uh, no offense to you fans, but it looks kind of ''done'' already. Nothing new here. But I'm hoping we'll all be suprised. I think this movie will either be an all-out bomb (lets hope not) or a really fun popcorn movie. Its really cool that they decided to make this movie, I think its kind of a nod to the fans, because Hellboy is relatively a nobody as far as superheroes go. But hey, so was Blade, and that movie was successful. Here's wishing that this movie will be pretty cool, certainly a lot better than The Punisher (shudders) Why? Why? Marvel must you make lame-ass superheros into feature-length films, a la Hulk, Daredevil? But its ok, Spidey 2 and X3 will rule!
-
I watched the trailer(without sound even)and a little pee came out.
I am so pumped for this!!!!! -
I always pictured his voice to be deeper, darker. A little disappointed here. Yeah, the preview isn't that great. This could be the role, though, that finally puts Selma Blair in the limelight.
-
The orchestral theme at the beginning of the trailer is also by Dimmu Borgir; they utilized a real orchestra-the Prague Philharmonic, I believe-on their new disc called Death Cult Armageddon. I let out a big hell yeah when I heard Progenies of the Great Apocalypse at the end. It's about time. One more movie with excessive techno or nu-metal and I was gonna boycott the entire film industry. Unfortunately, with nu-metal on the way out, record companies are looking for new trends. Can't imagine it'll be black metal, but I saw Dimmu live Wed. nite and there were enough people there to make me wonder. BTW, yeah they fuckin owned. And their new disc does too; don't listen to anyone else on this. Seriously fast and intense shit for people who like old school metal like Priest and Maiden mixed with symphonic arrangements.
-
Most people will think this movie is a fucking joke. As a reader of the Hellboy comics, I will enjoy it, but the usual moviegoer with no imagination will not give this movie a chance. They will see a guy in red paint and laugh and stay away. The trailer was not done very well either...I think we would all agree about that. I don't know how the hell this movie got financed and made, but I'm glad and I'll see it even though I will be in the minority.
-
That streaming media player technology is total junk (and realplayer is worse). Why bother promoting your movie with software this lousy? USE QUICKTIME, FOOLS!!! ********* Hellboy is going to rock! I can't wait to see it. -- mattro
-
You know this to be true.
-
I can't believe it, the movie isn't released yet (only a simple teaser in low format!) and you guys are already HATING it.
As already said in here, you haters don't like any movie at all and/or are always feeling BAD when someone shows excitement and joy about a movie that you don't like or know.
I don't give a damn if you haters don't like the comics, the teaser, the trailer and the movie...i sure love the comics, monday will see the teaser in quicktime format and surely see it when comes out next year.
Another funny thing, you haters promise to themselves that you won't see the movie, but will see it anyway and if you like it you will still hate it OPENLY and LOVE it secretly.
So long. Oh, and i know the teaser will be AMAZING when i see it monday for the first time. Peace. =) -
This is going to be the worst comic adaptation since Howard the Duck. He looks ridiculous. It's a shame, really. I had high hopes.
-
You can't just throw a character called HELLBOY that's red with chopped-off horns into the faces of the moviegoing audience. They'll either LAUGH or go "WHAT THE HELL IS THIS SHIT?" You gotta START at the beginning, tell how Hellboy got started (it's an interesting, high-concept origin!) so people aren't thinking "who the hell is the red-skinned fat guy?" the whole time, and then move along with him to the paranormal FBI or whatever near the end of the trailer. Also, the logo is boring. Why does every superhero movie lately have to have a SHINY SILVER LOGO? Hellboy's logo should be blood red and chunky, not slick and silver. Treat HELLBOY like something new and special, not another X-MEN movie. Otherwise you go down the LXG route.
-
then I saw this trailer and I have lost interest. It all depends on the story for me.
-
Granted, there are some cool shots of Hellboy action in here. Him leaping through the air and smashing the car look awesome. (However, given the poor image quality of this trailer, I wouldn't be surprised if the CGI comes showing through in the theaters.) But this movie has a major problem: the title. The name Hellboy makes me laugh at this movie, and not in a good way. (And, yes, I realize it's based on a comic book, but they should have made some effort to explain this ridiculous name in the trailer. Face it, most people have never heard of Hellboy). Also, Hellboy himself, awesome action notwithstanding, just looks stupid. Same goes for his fishy friend. Maybe if they billed this as more of an action/comedy it'd work better, but I didn't see anything intentionally funny in the trailer. Oh well. I'm sure Sony will saturate the airwaves with commercials for this thing and it'll have a good run at the box office regardless. Gotta love that Sony Marketing Machine. Sayonara, suckers.

I hate it when people say this, "Why this movie will bomb..."
by gil-galad12
I'm sorry, are you some kind of industry analyst? Do you have any idea what you're talking about? Anything said in these posts is pure speculation, don't sound so sure of yourself. Do you remember posts in years uncounted (well two) when people would say, "Lord of the Rings is gonna bomb because...". Boy were they as wrong as wrong can be. I bet there are a few people who thought the Matrix sequels would be fantastic. (I know I did, until I saw Reloaded, shudder) You never know, this film just might hit the $30 million-dollar mark. (thats right, we also have to be realistic)
-
I know nothing about Hellboy but the costume looks retarded. I'm not the least bit interested and I normally like comic book movies. That one dude was right, it looks like it was cut by the same tool who cut LXG.
-
Sure it is nice to think that box office shouldn't matter and you should just watch a movie for the sake of the movie, but that is a really shortsighted way of looking at it. So, why does box office numbers matter? Because films are made to make money, and if they don't make money, more films in that genre won't be made. If Xmen didn't make $3 trillion, this would not have been made, or be getting the attention it is getting. Studios aren't going to take a chance on a movie that will appeal to a core audience. Except some pretentious studios that will go unnamed by me.... anyway, the point is that every time a movie like this doesn't hit big with the full spectrum of the audience, it means there is less of a chance for your specific love to be put on the screen. So, try to sound all high and mighty by saying that it is all about the movies,but you are either stupid or fooling yourself if you really think box office doesn't and/or shouldn't matter.... and by the way,I agree that the makeup/prosthetics on Hellboy look not-good. I'm a comic reader and was shocked that he would look so bad when he is talking. I really hope they go back with some CGI and touch up his face.
-
The makeup's pretty good, I'd say, especially for a movie with a limited budget. I think what people are noticing and that I'd agree with is that Hellboy seems to be suffering from Planet of the Apes syndrome, in that his mouth movements don't seem anywhere near as sophisticated as an actual face's. The color will probably be touched up in post, but there's not much to be done about that. It's lamentable, but, with PotA in mind, the movie can certainly be enjoyable and embraced by future generations who are used to effects and makeup much more advanced. I also understand you're looking for more soul in Hellboy than in Roddy McDowell, but I don't think it'll be that big of a deal. A little distracting? Perhaps, but if the acting and the writing's good, it can be overcome. Oh, and I thought the trailer was good. Except for the lighting flying all over the place. Man, I hate when movies do that.
-
I guess it's kind of an important distinction.
-
Harry, I don't wanna hear you tell me that Guillermo "meant" to put the cheesy lightning in the movie because he's "playing with elements" or because this is his "homage" to "B-grade horror movies," only he "owns" "those conventions now." Good; either way, I hated that convention the first time I saw it.

by digdig
Which, if you were an employee of a studio would make sense. AS a movie goer the point remains that there is no reason for people to be so obsessed with box office receipts. Either enjoy the movie or don't, and say why you felt either way. And let's be honest it's the one thing you can understand and talk about. Pretending like you're some experienced industry analyst cause you read the returns on yahoo movies is not impressive to anybody.i And for a site that is supposedly dedicated to love of movies there's a lot of the exact opposite. Everybody talks about movie makers who sell out and only care about the dollar, then they spend 90% of the time on here talking about how much money movies make?
-
Is it just me, or shouldn't Hellboy's voice be so deep and gravelly that he makes Barry White sound like an alto? I'd have preferred Hellboy's color to be more like a dirty blood-red rather than what they have.
I think it should be a law that anyone writing, directing, or producing a comic-based movie is required to frequent this site for at least a month. -
check out Selma Blair in "Storytelling". She is hot as hell and totally naked in a couple of scenes. She doesn't have a very curvy body, but she's still hot. As far as Hellboy goes, I will enjoy it but I think it will flop. The whole concept just seems dumb to most people. If I hadn't read the comic, this would look stupid to me.
-
...I don't follow box office returns on any site. I couldn't tell you the number 1 movie for this year, last year, or the year before. I'll even take my point and go further with it: I don't see movies in theathers that often (I have been to the theater 2 times in 3 years), so how much money a movie is or isn't making doesn't affect my opinion. As for Rottentomatoes.com, I have been there once. It's just a stupid idea for a website. I just am intrigued by following what is happening with what products, in case I do want to take the time to go see them... And you missed the point of my post. It was not to say that you should just a film based on how well a movie does. That is just pathetic. My point was, as I said, that box office does matter. should you personally care if it makes money? No. But if you do like a film or a genre of a film, you should care if it makes money. To say otherwise makes you sound pretentious. Again, I am not saying this should affect your opinion of the film at all. For all the people who love The Matrix and the sequels, no matter how good you thought the original was, the other two wouldn't have been made if not for the first ones success.
-
I don't understand you losers, I really don't. I don't know a whole lot about the comic, but I thought this was a damn good trailer. It's made me want to see the movie about 10 times more like a good trailer should.
A lot of you people make me ashamed to be a "fanboy". You all just come off sounding like the "Comic Book Guy"; WORST...TRAILER...EVER. I would bet all the money I have that when you finally die in your parents' basement of a massive heart attack from eating one too many microwave burritos, you'd get to heaven and say "Could those gates BE anymore PEARLY?" Freakin douchebags. -
Y'know, I try to see as many sides of a situation as possible. It's sad that LXG left such a bad taste in the mouths of some of the half-assed Roger Eberts that come here (and they believe it gives them another excuse to bitch). I have not had the oppurtunity to see it yet, and I'm sure it won't have the same feel as the graphic novel, but I'll reserve my opinion until then. Lord knows, I'll try not to let the things I've read at this site influence my perceptions. A pathetic pattern seems to emerge here every time Harry lets us in on a trailer: The oh-so JADED (yeah, that's a bad thing), cooler-than-thou tough-guys express their displeasure, "Dis iz gay an' lame. Only dorks like dis... (drool)" (which is fine), then they try to enforce their delusions on the rest of us (not so cool)! Before long, you'll even see them ranting about how the movie didn't make significant box-office, and will never win an Academy award (apparently ignorant of the fact that many of what most would consider to be the greatest films ever made, not to mention all the cult classics, were not blockbusters and, if they were nominated, rarely won Oscars)! Like anybody other than a documentary filmmaker would let your Corky-chromosome selves near a studio. As other posters have said, and quite well, I might add- if you don't get it, perhaps you should stick to other genres. This is a comic book-based movie, I didn't see anything in that trailer that would make you piss all over yourselves like that. As a comic book afficianado, death metal enthusiast, and horror movie fanatic, I may be biased. And you may just be crack-smoking butt-sniffers. It is not to be believed. Y'know, comparing this trailer every big-budget success that has come out over the past seven years may not neccessarily be a bad thing.
-
I am tired...and I mean TIRED...of fanboy whinning crap. Everytime ANYTHING is brought to any form of media outside the original format, the crying begins. I know little about Hellboy, but the movie looks fun. He looks pretty much exactly like the comics, which by the way are boxy, angular, and almost abstract in their design. So for all you fanboys who want it to look like the comic, get over it. Not gonna happen. We live in a 3 dementional universe and when you translate this from 2 to 3 dimentions...hold on to your seat...things are going to look different! But Hellboy isn't the tip of the iceberg, his drowning at the bottom of the ocean of fanboy tears. People cried about, x-men, blade, LXG, Daredevil, every F@#$%#@$%@#! thing under the sun. I can understand a complaint about not sticking to the original source material, Burton Batman Returns-Style. That is wrong and deserves bitching. However, complaining about pissy little details or that fact they didn't squeeze 50 years of continuity in to the 2 hours is ludicous. So grow some schnutz gentlemen! Save your bitching for when you know without a doubt they have absolutely failed you. That's my opinion on the matter, and I stickin to it.
-
...then again, I gave RELOADED in my name, so maybe my opinion is not all that credible, but I think it will be a fun action movie. Love ron pearlman, so it gets points for that. and who cares if his make up looks a little funny.at least he looks real, better than a completely cgi giant green man running about looking shitty. and then there was a shot where there was a metalgear like cyber ninja brandishing a ninja-to. that looked pretty damn cool. oh, and I hated matrix revolutions. just thought I'd stick that in my post somewhere. Return of the King 12/17. rekognyze.
-
Now I don't know anything about Hellboy, but I like the trailer, and every time I go into a talkback session about one topic I get a bunch of crap about completely unrelated material. I enjoy Ron Pearlman's work and I liked the trailer. Yes, there may be some material that it has in common with the LXG and the X-Men 2 trailers but who cares? Does that mean it's automatically the same? I'm a fan of comics and of film and look forward to any endeavor that combines these two mediums. I'm looking forward to seeing this film in its entirety. Wow, I made it all the way to the end without comparing "The Matrix" to "The Lord of the Rings."...oh wait.
-
Simply because Del Toro has done some intersting things, though BLADE 2 was not one of them. I think he's talented, but getting sucked into the Hollywood grinder. I have zero idea who or what HELLBOY is, so I think the uninitiated (about 95% of the population, if not more) will have the same reaction to the trailer I did: MYSTERY MEN RELOADED. Pretty bad.

Why is Hellboy a supporting character in his own trailer?
-
Because he is a weird looking red guy and they are trying to ease the audience into it.
-
storytelling blew so hard. one of the worst movies ever (great, awesome cast, shitty premise). albeit, blair is hot, hellboy would do well, with or without her. not the reason to see the film in my opinion, although some people will see it because of her. there's my two cents.

First off, its revolution studios. Second, hell boy look like a big rubber mold. third, this movie looks more pants than I can say.
-
LOL, just some good natured baiting...I don't know anything about hell boy (other than the fact that he appears to have come from hell).
The trailer looked a bit weak to me, the premise could be interesting though. Hopefully they comment more on the Nazi beginnings they are alluding to (neat premise, I know just what I have ingferred from one of the costuemes and the 60 yrs ago comment).
In any event, it's certainly too early to tell anything significant. If it gets good word of mouth when it comes out, I'll be there. If not, I would likely still rent it...hopefully it's better than Blade II, which showed Del Toro may be slipping a bit...

From panel at Wizardworld Texas:
ARLINGTON, Texas -- Guillermo del Toro, director of the upcoming Hellboy movie, said that the trailer released this week was "the layman's trailer."
"Which is for those people who don't know Hellboy, and we believe there are a few, and for those people who will react to the word 'hell,' as there will be," said del Toro, who was appearing with Hellboy creator Mike Mignola at a Wizard World Texas panel on Saturday. "We decided to do a basic trailer that would show the organization, and not only showcase Hellboy. What you get is a taste of that.
"We are about 10 percent through the visual effects right now. And the next trailer you'll get is going to be a 30-second spot on the Super Bowl, and you'll get a few more monsters and a few more weird images.
"And hopefully by then the audience will be familiar. The first thing we want people to do is go, 'Hellboy?' Then, eventually get them to know that this is a character-driven movie -- and this character drives better."
-
...she will always be "Penelope" to me. Remember, you can't spell Penelope without elope.
-
because I love Hellboy the comic, and he is definitely NOT a 'superhero'. Not in the frickin' slightest. Not the way this trailer makes the story out to be. His character and comic are as stated in the trailer, to be agents in a gov't dept, but aside from that, nothing in these clips made me see the leading character as anything relating to his persona in the books. I think they got the right actor for it, although the makeup could use a LITTLE tweaking. But they better have a much darker atmosphere to match Mignola's artwork in the final film, than what this stuff showed. I have to say: a "layman's trailer" doesn't do any justice to conjure up the parodies of LXG's trailers, or force "mainstream" action prose down viewer's throats.
-
I guess I miss a lot of things people say when I first run through the posts because one is benumbed by the sheer banality of it all. I mean, the comparisons to X-men were tired four days ago, kids. Clearly, these poor individuals are unfamiliar with the premise of the series. Mignola came up with this stuff in the early 90s, before any of the movies you cite came along. Sorry that's all you know,folks. Nature abhors a vacuum, get out of the one you're in. The idea of paranormal research agencies is still free to anybody who wants to use it. I'm pretty sure X-Files and Men in Black weren't the last word on that. And are you clods suggesting if I someday want to do a story about a group of outcasts, I'd better just give it up, because we've seen it already in X-men? Marvel doesn't have exclusive rights to that concept, so I fart in in the general direction of all the naysayers.

As someone new to Hellboy, it looks simply retarded.
by magilla gorilla
Big red guy with oversized hands and two huge pimples on his forehead joins a secret government agency and fights monsters. Yawn. It LOOKS like it should be a comedy except for the fact that the trailer isn't funny. For all you Hellboy fans I really hope this is satisfying for you, but I think I'll pass.
-
Mignola had his say in alot of shit, right? Hellboy is his baby, I don't think he would have stood by and let Del Toro make some huge mistakes.
By the way, this is my first post here at this site, and alot of you guys are some fucking faggots. Not all, but alot.

Hey! Thanks for letting us know you'll pass! Swell, guy! Here's one: why don't you wait until the reviews start pouring in til you pretend you're too cool for school?
-
My bad. I guess I can see how one would find the premise goofy. Still, you should wait until you hear some reviews before you decide it's not worth your time.
-
Okay, if this helps at all MG, here goes: 1) The pimples are filed-down horns. See, because he doesn't want to be a devil and all. 2)The oversized hand is The Right Hand of Doom, which is supposed to be a little goofy, as are the rest of the proceedings. If you already knew this or you choose to continue looking upon it with the same level of scorn that you report to, that's your decision. And I really am sorry for getting all hot under my sweater: I just guess I have a raw nerve for talkbackers who play the whole "pearls before swine" angle.
-
And you're right, maybe I was trying to be "too cool for school." I hate it when people piss on my favorite superhero movie, Hulk, so I should know better. But I really have no knowledge of Hellboy, and I'm afraid 99% of the general public doesn't either. I think if this trailer had tried harder to explain what Hellboy is, it would have made it more accessible to me. There is definitely some cool action in the movie, but I couldn't get beyond the make-up to enjoy it. Perhaps some more otherworldly voicing for Hellboy (ala the Crow) would help sell it for me. But if I do see it and it rocks, I'll be munching on my words next year.
-
Even if the final cut ends up being CITIZEN KANE, this is obviously a shoddily put together trailer. Harry's a smidge too close to the source material and director to be at all impartial about this. I've never read the comic, only glanced at the website, and was disappointed by BLADE 2. I understand the character is irreverant, but you'd think a character with "Hell" in his name would be at least a little menacing. Pearlman looks like he wants to give you a hug in these clips. I won't judge the final product by the trailers, but it does effect whether or not I decide to pay to see it. They'd better come up with a whopper of a second trailer to keep this from tanking. A "Who Is Darkman?" approach would work much better, considering Hellboy's origin is the most compelling part of the story - not to mention the friggin title of the film. The comparisons to the LXG ad campaign are apt.
-
It's another one of those "we-assume-the-audience-is-too-dull-to-digest-the-plot-in-30-seconds-so-we'll-bash-'em-over-the-head-with-quick-cut-action-and-special-effects" trailers. I'm only vaguely familiar with hellboy, my knowledge coming mainly from what I've read on this site, but it's obvious the dude's got a loyal following so he's gotta be somewhat interesting. It's a shame that none of his interesting traits is conveyed in this trailer. Also, I'm not a big fan of Del Toro (Mimic, anyone?) although he is talented. But I'll reserve judgment. I'm sure Harry's got more Hellboy stuff to shove down our throats any day now.
-
i personally think those 2 movies were really good.if you like strawberry ice cream and someone else tells you strawberry ice cream tastes bad and it sucks , half of you morons will go jeez your right strawberry ice cream DOES suck and im not eating it anymore.most of you BITCHES need to grow your own opinion and get off everyone elses dick.

City of Lost Children. God I love Ron Perlman(Its alright, I'm female...)
-
Hellboy will probably do as well as "Spawn." I really can't imagine it being any better than that. Although I like Del Toro's work, I don't thik his name alone will do anything for moviegoers that aren't at least a little bit of film geek. (and as the growing success of "Love Actually proves, Film Geeks, America is not)
I don't believe that films of geekdom fanboy comics can offer the direction the unexposed population need to feel comfortable with the characterizations.
I learned my lesson from Spawn. Didn't Hollywood? -
unfuckingbelievable.
-
Hellboy looks like the love child of the devil on South Park and El-Chino Jay Leno. How can anyone say this who in unbiased sa this trailer owns? It looks like crap. At least LXG had Sean Connery.
-
I mean, Jesus H. Christ, people, do you pay attention to yourselves and what you're saying when you write?

And Magilla, if you love the Hulk you better stay away from that Marvel movie talkbaaa... Oops. Too late. I'm so terribly sorry. Believe me, I feel your pain. Anyway, to all you ninnyhammers still pissing on yourselves about the friggin' trailer, admit it. It owns you. It OOOOWWWNNSSS YOU.

actually Ribbons, I listen quite alot to myself, and myself, and
by the killer-goat
and myself, and myself, and that other windbag self that keeps going on about meatballs and algorithms. But in this instance, I quite clearly heard myself ragging on the LXG 'trailers', not the film itself. The trailers sucked, although I hear the film was kinda fun. But all the LXG previews didn't get me to see it in the theaters, they just got me to consider renting the movie from Netflix. Which I fear will happen with alot of folks if they don't get a better trailer out fast. I bet lots of other folks who *aren't* Hellboy fans like I am, will glean more cinematic eye-candy in the competition to grab their attention and money. I'll see it no matter what crappy trailers come up, because I'm a devout slave to the books and want to see this visual translation regardless. But this first "layman's trailer" was a bad decision.
-
I just think they should have had a trailer that actually showed more than a micro-second of each character at a time, instead of flashy snapshots thrown all over the place. And definitely done away with the cheesy taglines. As I said, this trailer does nothing to reflect the mood of the comic. Then again, if you've actually read the series, maybe you have a different take on it, hm?
-
Toy boat, were you being sarcastic, or just making a point? Maybe I had the wrong voice in my head saying, "ahh, he's just being a smartass..."

Did I miss something? Did y'all see Hellboy's beard in that trailer? I don't know, but I've definately never noticed a beard on Hellboy in the comics. I repeat, DID I MISS SOMETHING!? A BEARD?

Quicktime's up, boys.
I still say, awesome trailer.
Hehe naysayers, acting all smart, you make me chuckle...
i dont know why so many requests about making it an R movie
the comic is not very adult oriented to begin with...
anyway, the trailer ROCKS! -

LAST!!!! I really thought this was going to have something extra

And maybe it will but i'm not convinced from that trailer (Quicktime), didn't look dark enough in narrative tone or look (maybe it hasn't been graded properly yet) *why the fuck did they get Frasier's sissy brother to do the voice of Abe Sapien, it's just horrible & obviously ADR*but either way it still looks a lot better than most of the shit Hollywood churns out on a regular basis & seeing as that I always end up watching that shit anyway, I'm sure I won't be totally disappointed by this method of plesantly passing two hours of my life. I live in hope, BBB

Just saw the QT trailer... I am so bloody psyched now.

I've never read a Hellboy comic book before. After seeing the trailer... I'm very interested. Looks like a lot of fun.
And for the record... Loved LXG. Sean Connery kicks ass.
"I'm waiting to be impressed." -
