Hellboy" - Never read the comics, but there seemed to be a shit load of backstory/plot details missing!
**SPOILERS**
Why was Rasputin this powerful dude?
Why/how was he not dead like he was historically?
How did he end up brought back in a pool of blood in a mountain temple when the last time we saw Rasputin he was sucked into the portal?
What was his talk about 'every time he goes through he brings more of the master back' about? Has he come and gone through the portal before?
What actually was the point of all those Samael demons?
Where did all the ones go that spawned in the Subway? just back to that tomb to sit there and do nothing?
Can Hellboy be hurt or not? A cut on his arm almost flaws him due to loss of blood, but then he can take bone crushing damage and even survive multiple grenaded blasts that he is right on top of.
What was his real name? And why was it a big thing?
What WAS that Nazi/clockwork dude? No explanantion on WHAT he was. Surely not human. Not with dust for blood and a clockwork heart.
What have Hellboy and the Agency they been fighting for all these years? General supernatural beings that were always on Earth? Other things that escaped from the portal when Hellboy did?
Were the 'fish' man and the girl 'natura'l oddities, supernatural beings?
How was she 'saved' at the end? He talked to 'them' and they sent her soul back?!
I did enjoy it...But there seemed a lot that was missed out for those not familar with the comics.
Some nice action (a few needless very obvious CGI flourishes), some good humour and it looked great. Fun...but a hell (ha!) of a lot of questions to be answered.
Is there a longer cut on the DVD???
