Hellboy was an unusual thing for me. It's the first movie based on a comic character who I was totally unfamiliar with. Every other filmed superhero I was either intimately or passionately aware of not so in this case. So I went in totally blind with no expectations. I feel the movie met my low bar of expectations but it didn't wow me. I liked it, so much so that after seeing it in the flicks I rented it and watched it with the family. While liked the film I was never really "engaged". When HB's "dad" dies I felt next to nothing unlike when Aunt May took a beating in Spiderman2. So I'm giving it a sideways thumb. I think a sequel is warranted but not by much.
