Hellboy Trailer?

Post by rubyeye » Sat Nov 22, 2003 8:15 pm

Another comic book movie, but it's done by Guillermo del Toro (Blade II). Now I'm not keen on comic movies but it might be interesting. However, I know absolutely nothing about it, never even heard of it.
So, those of you who know Hellboy...does it look decent; is it faithful to the novel/comic. What the hell is it about anyway? It looks like X-Men with "real" mutant freaks.

Just curious.

I don't know a whole lot about it, but I saw a teaser awhile back. The plotline is basically: Hitler had an obsession with the occult. He tried conducting a ceremony to open the gates of hell, but got interrupted, and all that was summoned forth was Hellboy. I don't really know too much more about it, and what I've heard doesn't really raise my interest.

No no no no. Hitler had a secert org who worked on getting demonic shit done. They summoned hellboy who said "fuck you" and he left. Now he, an alien and a gal with pyrokensis all work as the government's "Occult Police" sorta things. His demonic powers include a large fist/hand (the other is human sized), a huge ass gun, and red skin. (he tore off his horns).

Okay, thanks for clarifying. The teaser I saw seemed geared toward people who were already fans, so it didn't explain a whole lot. It still doesn't strike me as something I'd be willing to spend $7 to go see though.

But...it has an alien named "Abe Sapien". And a hot british chick with fire powers. Isn't that great?
