And goombah, no love for The Usual Suspects? As for me, this isn't a movie that everbody "loves" but a lot of people at least like it. Hellboy. Seen it twice, walked out in the theaters and couldn't wait for it to end on DVD. I HATED this f'n movie. And it's weird, I loved The Punisher and everyone seems to hate it. From everyone I've come across, you either love The Punisher and hate Hellboy, or you love Hellboy and hate The Punisher

HELLBOY just sucked. THANK YOU!. I don't see how people say that is a better movie than The Punisher. True I have a biased towards Frank Castle b/c I collected the comic books growing up, but still, I mean come on, it's a better movie. Sure it has it's corny movies, but Hellboy's story just sucked so much and was very boring/unentertaining! And here's the kicker, they're making a sequel! Well, I'm looking forward to The Punisher 2!

Citizen Kane. Ok, I don't hate it, but I didn't enjoy it nearly as much as most people. Then again, I've seen it only once. Don't feel bad, I thought the same about Seven Samurai. Did you read my review? [/b][/quote]Yea, I read it. B&W movies are an acquired taste. There are some that I just love ( On the Waterfront, Streetcar, Seven Samurai) and some...well...not so much ( Citizen Kane). It's true, as many above have said :"One person's coffee is another man's pee...err...tea."
"Growing up my dad was like 'You have a great last name, Galifianakis. Galifianakis...begins with a gal...and ends with a kiss...' I'm like that's great dad, can we get it changed to 'Galifianafuck' please?" -- Zach Galifianakis

Thing is, HELLBOY was an enjoyable comic book from the issues I had read that had a pretty good premise.
But the movie....f*ck, I don't know where to begin on what the hell went wrong(and its not adaptation reasons, for I could care less if some character's hair was correct or not. I just want a good movie.) but I'll these 3 things about the movie.
(1) - Ron Perlman was good. Sure the movie was mediocre-as-waste-of-time, Perlman was kinda enjoyable to watch. I say "kinda" because rest of the movie wasn't worth my time. Hell, it is NEVER a good omen when your villain sucks. Really, better the villain, better the hero.
(2) - I quite liked the make-up technical job on this film.
(3) - Remember the scene with the Russian corpse on Perlman's back? Man that was the insane wacky humor/action adventure that I enjoyed about the comics. I mean that was the only good scene in the whole film. Too bad the rest of the movie was....how can I say....*cough*
Then again Irishman, remember that I didn't care for THE PUNISHER film. Of course I enjoyed Garth Ennis' work where you had absolutely fun action comic storytelling while you had just very good dark comedy. I mean stuff like the title character having to fight an army of midgets, using bodies in a morgue as human shields, or better yet....a good reason WHY you shouldn't stick your head through the glass window on subways....
But the PUNISHER movie, man I revise my statement, I was disapointed. However, its still alot better than the older Dolph Lundgren clunker.
