Still looks like a lot of fun. Of course, I also think it could blow big chunks. I'll withold judgment until I see it.

That was awesome! I swear Ron Perlman is one of the most underrated actors in a long time. His delivery on that was perfect.

The more I see and hear about this movie the more I want to see it. Ron Perlman looks like he's gonna kick major a$$, and I can't wait to see Abe Sapien in action.

I think it's cool that they are using a Mime in the costume and David Hyde Pierce as the voice... Darth Maul all over again!

What he said. Before the first footage ever hit about this movie I said it would be perfect & surprise people & I stand by that now.

Hey Jack, you still got that Hellboy poster?

New Hellboy Trailer

Got this from AICN

http://mp3content01.bcst.yahoo.com/p.../3/5801997.mov

Looks worse than the first trailer, something along the lines of LXG; and now that it's PG-13 (Mignola's source material I think is very R rated), I'll have to say my expectations have gone down a bit, but I'll keep an open mind and reserve final comments for the finished product.

Kind of funny though how a movie with a title like "Hellboy" would be marketed as a PG-13 action adventure flick. I don't see families unfamiliar with the book to necessarily be lining up with their kids to see this one, but seeing as how they're marketing as something like LXG and the Mummy, maybe it'll make more money this way.

It did have that LXG look and sound to it, I'm sure it's just the editing and way they pulled it that made it sound that way. I'm still going to watch this opening night.

I'll be honest...it looks like LXG only in over the top characters and production design. And well...that wasn't what was wrong with LXG. It was the non existent script, lame story, and lack of interesting characters (though they did look cool) that made that movie a bomb. IMO.

Now will this be good? I think so. Sure it would've been nice to see this follow the R rated formula but...let's be honest...in many cases it's either no movie or pg-13 movie. It's money, and sometimes you have to make sacrifices.

So I think this looks pretty cool. Hopefully it's good...but all signs point to a fun action adventure movie, hopefully less mainstream and more Mignola. I'd be disapointed if this ended up being your regular ol action comic book movie, with unique looking characters. That's what the trailers seem to portray, but the comic book was somethin else. So we shall see...

I liked LXG and I think I'll like HELLBOY.

Thanks for the Trailer.

Looks like it is leaning towards the LXG route, but a little more fun.

I've been rereading the Hellboy comic series lately, and PG-13 seems right on for a rating. The comics have no swearing, and the violence isn't that much more extreme than a Marvel or DC comic. It's not like it's Sin City or Preacher.

I think it looks a little to much like fanboy fodder. Not mainstream enough to be a big hit. Of course that is only an opinion.

Thanks for the link. I just watched the old Hellboy trailer a few days ago (it's on The Missing DVD in good ol 5.1). I might just have to see this when it comes out in April.

I don't like how this new trailer was cut (just doesn't seem like a finished trailer) but the movie looks awesome regardless.

Just checked out the trailers and little preview doc on the free best buy Hellboy preview DVD last night.

Looks terrible IMO.

Is this the trailer that was made to air as a TV commercial (“Just skip to the end. How do I kill it?”) and is really short or is this another theatrical preview? (I can’t look at this at work and I’m getting curious as Hell.)
nevermind. I was able to view it as a flash on the official site.

Waiting for this has been driving me crazy. I even wore my BPRD shirt to work today as a gesture of solidarity.
