Hellboy on five..

The film doesn't live up to its trailer. I think I prefer Blade II.

Blade 2 was super.

Hellboy's a very impressive film visually, but the plot is not so good. Overall: average.

If you like it though, you should get the three disc set. That is one sweet set.

I've only seen it once, and was out when it was on TV - But I loved it a lot more than I thought I was going too. It's not perfect, and in places it's incredibly daft - But it can also surprise you, and pull something extremely cool, emotional or serious out of the bag from time to time. A nice mix.

That said, I haven't read a Hellboy comic, so maybe if I had my point of view would be coloured differently.

>> Blade 2 was super.

Your Music Television has woozified your brain, young Jared.

Hey! I know quality when I see it!

I guess not everyone can appreciate the subtle, sophisticated genius that is Blade 2.

Heheh. Especially the bit where he calls Ron Perlman a "nipplehead". Hurhurhur.

Blade 2 is the biggest pile of shit I've ever seen, I think I lost like 70 IQ points just from the "banter" between Ron Perlman and Kris Kristoffeson. Is the one with Triple H and Jessica Biel any good?

"Is the one with Triple H and Jessica Biel any good?"

No. No it is not.

I've noticed that Blade 1 and 2 tend to divide opinions, most people like one and not the other (Personally I think they're both cool) But everyone seems to be able to agree that Blade Trinity was absolute gick.

Also, as much as I like Ron Perlman, Guillermo Del Toro and superhero movies in general, I gotta say I thought Hellboy sucked. Granted, I knew nothing of the source material, but I went in with an open mind, the trailer looked cool, and Hellboy himself looked excellent, but the film itself was just crap.

I liked Blade one very much .Blade 2 i didnt enjoy as much really as i didnt think it was asgood as the first.However i do very much like the actress who played the female vampire who died at the end of the film.What a stunning amazing looking woman she is.

Blade 3 i have not seen.Yet.Maybe i wont bother.

Hi ho its off to work i go.
