strredwolfI finally get a chance to see these two films. Thankfully, I could just ether buy a copy from iTunes or rip a DVD copy (ie, renting them from the Redbox, ripping 'em, and returning them because I would be hitting up against iTunes Movie Rental limits).
Hellboy was good, but not excelent. It's a decent port, and could stand on it's own.
Hellboy 2 also was decent. A good follow-up that also stood on it's own... but it also left a few problems for any possible sequels. Most notibly is the pregnancy of twin demon/human hybrids -- which is the big spanner in the works. How are they going to resolve that (plus the team' resignation from the BPRD) in suposedly three years time, and still make it stand alone?
Hellboy 3, if they make one, will have a high risk of flopping if it happens.
