just saw the midnight showing, thought it was way cool. I agree with my bud who says it needed an R rating so it could have had some more gore and cussing. Ron Pealman is excellent and the sets are beautiful.
I can't tell you how close it was to the comic cause I never read 'em but the story is pretty cool, I like it when outlandish things are mixed in the the every day world. Hellboy is a really cool character too, he's actually the first superhero I'd kick it with.
