I was fortunate enough to see a special screening of Hellboy at Universal Citywalk on March 26, 2004. I went in with high expectations, and god dammit they were exceeded. This movie just plain rocks, and if I had the chance I'd love to shake Guillermo Del Toro's hand for creating such a great fun movie and the entertainment it gave me. Great acting from a great cast (especially Ron Perlman as Hellboy, I can't believe the studio actually wanted Vin Diesel...), great characters, quotable dialogue, amazing visuals, excellent action AND humor, it had 'em all. I definitely recommend seeing it, especially if your a comic fan. Guillermo knows how to make a comic book movie, and this is truly a comic book brought to life.

My only complaint: it ended...

Just watched Versus, and it was damn good. Good action, decent acting, decent gore. Very old school action and horror elements, no cheap scares and CGI. The fight between the main hero and villain at the end kicked total ass, as did most of the action scenes in the film. The only real flaw was two characters, I guess I'll call them "Officer" and "Fighter" since they weren't given real names, which came in really late in the movie and added nothing to the plot (well, except for explain how the hero got a huge gun for five minutes). Cut them out and it was a perfectly good action-horror movie.

I highly recommend this movie.

I love this movie! Sure, it isn't a classic piece in the history of the slasher genre like the original Nightmare on Elm Street, but it is still very, very entertaining. The odd thing is that this is almost the complete opposite of the original. Where as the original Elm Street is pure horror, this film is pure comedy spoof.

I don't know why people don't like this film. It may be a lot different from the rest of the series, but loosen up! After watching the first couple death scenes, you gotta like Freddy!

The title is the real problem, though. I mean, is there anyone out there who thinks the real Freddy Krueger is gone for good? We've already had a semi-sequel in "New Nightmare", it's just a matter of time till old Freddy is back on the screen.
