Didn't the director say the first release should be a two-disc set and then the second release will be a three-disc set? So at least we have something to look forward to on July 27th (since it'll probably be the only release of the theatrical cut).

Cool, Im probably gonna pick this one up. I liked it enough to double dip.
At least theyre telling us about multiple releases like with Black Hawk Down, Hellboy, LOTR, and Kill Bill among others. Imagine the headache if we never knew about any multiple releases.

This movie was such a huge bomb I'm surprised it's getting a release at all.
That said, if you liked Blade 2, you'll probably like Hellboy (which is, IMHO, the better film).

Tough to say for sure you would like Hellboy if you enjoyed Blade 2...They are similar, but not.
By that I mean the look is similar (same director, both filmed in Prague)
The subway team search was pretty much a copy of Blade 2's sewer mission (trying to be vague here, but the really are much alike)
The final villian also reminded me of the alternate Blood God scene in Blade 1 (which Del Torro had nothing to do with, but it was kind of odd)
Personally I feel Blade 2 is one of the best action movies ever made (behind Terminator 2) but I was very disappointed with Hellboy:
There is a real lack of strong villians (In fact, only one in the group even fights)
Hellboy doesn't really ever DO anything--I am not familar with the comics, so maybe this is acurate...But all he does is punch things with his big hand, and make wisecracks while getting his ass kicked. He is also fireproof, but nothing substantial is done with this.
No violence or gore.
To keep this on topic, I would be interested in an extended cut in the proposed 3 disc set IF they make it a more R-rated affair. They need to add at least one good fight scene (the thatrical cut has NONE), More backstory of Hellboy (including WHY he chose to be a good guy),and do something different with the final conflict, which was just rediculously bad.

It will almost certainly make more that that again with its home video release. I expect that Revolution stands to make a tidy profit, even if it wasn't the big hit they expected.

Sorry for what might be perceived as a threadcrap. Just a word to those who haven't seen Hellboy: make it a rental first.

I thought Hellboy was fun, nice way to kill a few hours. And I love the opening sequence. I'll probably pick it up when it comes out. I don't know if I need the Hellboy Ultimate Special Collector's Extremely Limited Edition DVD or not.
