"Got any carrots?"
Posts: 806
Just seen the film (bought for £9.99 from a certain website, cos for some reason its released on DVD in the US and Asia and isnt even out here in the UK for ages) and what the "hell" is that all about? I only bought it because a.)It was cheap and b.)It had good reviews and went to number 1 in the USA. Dont get me wrong the special effects and load of extras, but there are parts in the film where u think "whats going on with the story", its completely random. The day before watching Hellboy i watched Spirited Away and that was even more messed up. I feel like Im missing something, as both films got rave reviews and I couldnt make sense of their storylines, and im pretty open minded.

Has anyone else seen Hellboy, so they too can confirm its utter crapness? And anyone seen Spirited Away cos I missed the part that won it an Oscar?

Spirited Away is a great film, one of many that have been made by Studio Ghibli, but sadly few are bothered to buy on DVD. Bear in mind that Spirited Away was aimed at the audience of 10 year old girls. Japanese girls.

I would recommend My Neighbour Totoro or Laputa; Castle in the Sky.

Just watched Hellboy again, and it made more sense the 2nd viewing. There are still a few iffy bits, basically its The Mummy Returns but with a devilish theme instead. I guess ud know more about the story if you followed the comics, which I and many others havnt!!!

Hellboy - You gotta love the comic I guess. I found bits of it really good.. and other bits 'what the hell is happening?'

As for Spirited Away, it's a superb animation film! :)

Yeah I did like Spirited Away, it was very engaging, I guess I expected something more in line with the Final Fantasy games.

I got Hellboy today, can't see what's wrong with it. Very enjoyable action, superhero movie thingy, far better than I was lead to believe from reviews in the US.
