	Evil Avatar - A new Hellboy game is being developed
		The game itself was based on the character and served as a prequel story before the 2 Riddick films, not one particular film.
		According to Del Toro's statement, the new game would be based on the movie verison of the comic book character the he directed in 2004.
		If this game is based off of the comic moreso than the film, it'll have a better chance of being good.

	News - Del Toro considers Halo film // Xbox /// Eurogamer
		Guillermo del Toro has confirmed that he's in talks with various parties including executive producer Peter Jackson about directing the Halo film, but that he'd ideally like to do a Hellboy sequel first.
		"The ideal for me would be to do Hellboy 2 and if Halo doesn't go away, then yeah, I'd love to do both," he told British film magazine Empire.
		In a recent interview with Dark Horizons, Jackson revealed that he was relatively close to directing it himself, but that fatigue from back to back Lord of the Rings and King Kong films had dissuaded him.

	Home Theater Forum - 2004 Film List
		I really loved the film as a character piece in which the main point for me was to watch Hellboy and Abe do stuff and use their various gadgets.
		To much of the subplot characters were underdeveloped to push the film into 10 and all-time great status, but it was a very fun summer popcorn type film.
		Also, in contrasting Hellboy with Jersey Girl, I'm going to back Jersey Girl back down to a 7 instead of 8.

	TNMC: Untitled Deadpool Column
		If this draft fails to change too drastically before the film starts shooting, all of us Hellboy fans (and most of you non-Hellboy fans) are due for some happy theater-going times ahead.
		Hellboy's reason for being is outlined and pretty much resolved in a fairly anti-climactic six pages, with too concrete an ending for my taste (and also involving a sequence a little too reminiscent of Alien: Resurrection for its own good).
		Most of the Hellboy stories I have read have involved him being informed of a horrific mystery of some kind and then essentially waltzing in and solving it through magic and his gigantic stone fist, and while these make for generally entertaining reads, they would also make for decidedly one-dimensional movies.

	C I N 3 M A - Moving Pictures - Reviews - Hellboy
		The only nice thing about this movie is the main character, Hellboy, a trench coat-wearing, heavy cigar smoker who doesn't give a shit most of the time, and when he does, he's a hero.
		Hellboy is a Dark Horse comic book created and illustrated by Mike Mignola.
		I'm no comic book fan, so I have never heard of this Hellboy dude.

	Amazon.com: Hellboy (Director's Cut): DVD: Ron Perlman,Selma Blair
		When the movie's story line concentrates on the character of Hellboy and his relationships with those important to him (the man who raised him, the girl he loves), the film becomes a unique romp, with an exciting yet vulnerable superhero at the center who just happens to be the spawn of Satan.
		The complicated and ultimately senseless plot begins with Hellboy's origins (he was "born" during a Second World War Nazi occult ceremony presided over by Rasputin), then quickly focusses on the modern-day Hellboy and his adventures in fighting some doomsday monsters and the freaks that control them.
		Ron Perlman plays Hellboy, who is apparently an imp from a rift in the universe that occurred as a result of tampering by the German army during WW2.

	eBay - Game: Hellboy (UPC: 043396112803)
		Based on the comic book series by Mike Mignola, Guillermo del Toro's gleefully eccentric film follows the supernatural adventures of Hellboy (Ron Perlman), a cigar-chomping, horn-filing demonic hero enlisted by an occult scholar (John Hurt) to fight evil in the Bureau of Paranormal Research and Defense.
		The director's enthusiasm shows, since HELLBOY is a wondrously strange slice of pulpy adventure, mixed with horror and humor, and enhanced by stunning visual effects.
		Along with the fire-throwing Liz Sherman (Selma Blair) and the amphibious psychic Abe Sapien (Doug Jones, with the voice of David Hyde Pierce), Hellboy is joined by new recruit John Myers (Rupert Evans), a squeaky-clean FBI agent assigned to keep the big red devil's exploits in check.

	Blade: Trinity
		Especially considering the director of Blade II was Guillermo del Toro, a much better director (who went on to direct Hellboy, another comic-themed project).
		The filmmakers took what was a decent comic book franchise and destroyed it, turning it into a series of action scenes just as mindless as some of the vampires in the film.
		Aiding Blade are the Nightstalkers, a group of youngsters dedicated to the destruction of vampires.

	Fantastic Four Review - FilmFocus.Co.UK
		Ironic as it is, the superhero film that's made a believer out of me (or, at the very least, done the best job of making a believer out of me) is the superhero film that's being universally reviled so far by superhero fans.
		No less than an hour and forty minutes of superhero nonsense at its most obtuse, mixed in with a genuine sort of fun that few of the previous superhero films have managed to capture.
		The truth is, for the first time this year, and with Hellboy last year, the superhero adventurer we're being treated to doesn't feel the slightest bit pretentious, doesn't feel the slightest bit dramatic.

	The CHUD.COM Message Boards - Spawn vs. Hellboy
		I think Spawn beats Hellboy because he is a better character, he is more interesting and violent, and his internal conflict is portrayed way better, you feel for him as he tears himself apart.
		Comics, movies or characters - comparing Spawn to Hellboy is like comparing Linkin Park to Black Sabbath.
		So on his journey spawn is confronted with what he has become over the years (a cold blooded killer/assassin) and what he is now a Spawn of Hell an agent of the devil in the war between Heaven and Hell.

	Hellboy game coming? - Joystiq - www.joystiq.com
		Hellboy was more of a "wait and see how the fans respon before we invest the farm" movie, so now they're scrambling to get a game together while Hellboy's still relevant to the movie-going public.
		It’s very surprising that a Punisher game has birthed into the world, but no Hellboy title has, when Hellboy was by far the better received film.
		There was a Hellboy game on the ps1, but I know what you mean.

	Blade: Trinity (2004)
		Trivia: Blade II (2002) director Guillermo del Toro passed on the film when Hellboy (2004), his dream project, was greenlighted.
		It's not the worst film of all time by a long way, but with the components they had the end result should have been far superior.
		Goofs: Errors in geography: In one of the motorcycle street shots halfway through the movie, on the left of the screen the stationary camera clearly shows the sign for the Vancouver City Police's East Hastings detachment, including phone number.

	Son of Mask
		The basic concept in "Son of the Mask" comes from the old Dark Horse comic series, "The Mask." The previous Dark Horse films, "Hellboy" and "Mystery Men" were not great, but they worked much better than "Son of the Mask."
		Both mask films are about an ancient mask that gives its wearer supernatural powers.
		Kennedy is much better in his TV show, "The Jaime Kennedy Experiment," and Carrey is sorely missed in the film.

		The big film screening news in Austin is that The Devil and Daniel Johnston, which premiered at SXSW in 2005, opens today in Austin at Arbor Great Hills and Alamo Drafthouse on South Lamar.
		Despite a dismal track record for such films, Hollywood seems to be experiencing something of a rush on video game-based projects lately with some heavy-hitting titles on the way -- leading some to believe the negative karma surrounding the genre may be on the verge of breaking.
		Among the three films to which Bridge has already acquired remakes right is Backstage, the French film about obsessive fandom that was just picked up for US distribution by Strand Distributing.

		They show a shift in the type of films that Revolution -- which so far in its history has favored the kinds of movies popular with 15-year-old boys, such as "XXX""XXX" and "Hellboy" -- is now looking to produce.
		The film, which stars Nicolas CageNicolas Cage, is temporarily on hold as Roth considers bringing on a domestic or international partner in order to shave Revolution's risk.
		After a disappointing summer, Sony is under pressure to determine what kinds of films it wants to be making, and if and how it will need Revolution, which currently supplies the studio with five to six films per year.

	Halo has a director? - Cinematical
		Seeing as Halo is apparently moving full steam ahead, they'll be no way for him to do both films, unless one of them (Hint: Not Halo) gets seriously delayed.
		That would be "Master Chief" #2, and after seeing all the hard work Bungie put into this film I honestly have no doubts that it will be awesome to some degree.
		I can't see how a Halo film could be any good, though.

	DVD Times - X-Men 2
		The first X-Men film can largely be held responsible for the resurgence of comic book movies filling multiplexes, it’s doubtful we’d be seeing the likes of Daredevil, Hellboy or Constantine if it had been a failure, and surely its success spurred studios on to breathe new life into the Superman and Batman franchises.
		Wolverine, however, finished the first film no more informed about his adamantium endoskeleton or his memory loss than he started, and it is that story that has become the focus of the second film.
		I think my problems with the film was a few sorely underused characters and a tiring plot device Kelly Hu looks great but I'd have liked to have learned about her character.

	slant // magazine.com: 2004: Year in Film
		The film's contemporary resonance is as flabbergasting as the subtle and acute precision of its social critique.
		The genius of the film's deceptively simple narrative, as written by Panahi's frequent collaborator, the great Abbas Kiarostami, is how it seamlessly evokes America's post-9/11 immigration policy in the intra-Iranian embarrassments suffered by the film's lead, a pizza deliveryman who shoots himself in the head after a botched jewel heist.
		Clint Eastwood's tender film achieves an unaffected beauty through graceful understatement, and alongside the stellar Eastwood and Morgan Freeman, Hilary Swank—as a desperate, relentless would-be champion driven to greatness by a grizzled trainer with whom she develops a surrogate father-daughter relationship—delivers a heartfelt performance of stunning versatility.
