Hellboy 2 Audio

[j_garcia]

Great movie too, I really enjoyed it. It's probably my 2nd favorite of all the comic book movies, 1st being Dark Knight.

You have got to be joking? This movie was terrible; easily one of the worst movies of the year. It wouldn't have been as bad if they had released it direct to video, because the expectations would have been low from the beginning. Comparing it to The Dark Knight is ridiculous - offensive actually.

For this Summer, I would put Dark Knight #1, Hulk #2, Iron Man #3, and Hellboy #4.

I thought they kind of made Hellboy II a little "girly" - not that there's any wrong with that. The singing part was pathetic IMO.

What kind of superhero sings?

Even "Superman Returns" didn't sing, and he was really sissy - not that there's anything wrong with that.

But in terms of overall FUN FACTOR, I would put Hulk #1 & Iron Man #2.

Singing? Say it aint so! I bought the Blu-Ray which I should have in a few days. The review on ign.com stated the sound was pristine, 5.1 DTS HD Master audio. One of my reasons for getting it. I guess the "singing" will sound especially good huh? I hope that part isn't too lame... I haven't seen the movie but hopefully that wont put me off too much.

On another note, Wall-E comes out tuesday. I read that this movies will be reference quality for both picture and sound (5.1 DTS HD Master audio) Can't wait to pick it up. (I actually saw this movie and enjoyed it)

I'll buy it too on BD because the PQ/SQ should be Reference Quality. Then again, I heard that before.

I enjoyed Hellboy II much more than the first one. Maybe I am just crazy.

I started watching this tonight. I stopped it after about ten minutes. I'm sure that I'll finish it later.

I liked it ... sure it had some parts that'd have been fine to leave out, like fish boy falling for Princess whatever. But overall I like the character that Ron Perlman plays, and thought the story was good (not great), but cinematography and soundtrack were amazing.

Way to spoil some of the story.

I noticed that it was out on DVD, and have thought about getting it. I liked the first one (and I am a huge fan of the comic books.) I hope I won't be disappointed.

It's not even a rental as far as I'm concerned, I don't care how great the audio track on it is. I made the mistake of renting Hellboy I, and ended up turning the damn thing off halfway through it was so terrible. Maybe if I was still a 13 year old boy with collection of comic books and Now and Later candy I might have found this enjoyable. I shall not subject myself to Part II of this wretchedness....

I thought the first one was OK, but this one, despite being visually more impressive, just lacked in every category. It just goes to show you that even with great cinematography, great sound and great effects, and an excellent director you can still end up with a very pedestrian movie.

Cool, you can ask him why it sucked so hard. Everything in this film seemed forced, and wasn't very believable (Not the monster parts, but the love story and character interactions).

t sucked because the blower was on backwards?

Received my pre-order BD copy 2 days ago from Amazon.com. They packaged it in a square display box that has a limited edition figurine behind a plastic window. Then the movie is in a regular BD box with a hologram type of image of Hellboy on the slip cover.(just like the new HULK BD slip cover)
The BD movie box is hidden behind the figurine with a sheet of white backround paper in front of it
I am almost afraid to take the movie itself out of the display type box because it looks so damn good.(Came with a digital copy too for downloading to a PC).
Haven't watched it yet, but with all the mixed reviews here, I still haven't picked a movie night for the viewing at my Home Theater. Maybe Saturday though.
