I read the book back in school and have seen a tv movie version back in the 80's.
I remember I could'nt wait to go see this in the theater. We had to pay extra for our 3-D glasses too. Another way into making you spend more money than you need to. Frankly, they should be included with the price of movie tickets. But, that's my opinion.
Loved the 3-D special effects. I remember when I was little, seeing movies in 3-D. They don't even compare to today's standards. 3-D movies sure have come along way and I'm pleased to say that I'd definately go see another one. They make them look so realistic, like the object is coming right at you. It's great.
Liked the movie alot, especially the roller coaster ride. Only thing with that, the gap was a little too big and I highly doubt in real life anyone in a cart would be able to jump that. Wonder if I should write to the Mythbuster guys and have them test that theory out?!
Makes you wonder what really is in the center of our earth?!
I'm glad they give you good 3-D glasses included in the dvd. I watched the extras after I watched the movie. It was interesting for me to watch because I like seeing how things are made.
What's great about it: 3-D Effects
What's not so great: not too many extra features
I would recommend this to a friend!

When I first saw the commercial for this movie, I got all excited. Then, I saw commercials for the Cartoon Network premier. Thought why pay when I can see it for free. Figured I'd wait for it on dvd.
Needless to say I was disappointed. It's ok, wasn't impressed. As a huge Star Wars fan, I have to say this was the most disappointing one. Not sure if I was too thrilled at watching Star Wars in an animated version either. I prefer live action.
Seems to me, if it keeps going like this, I might not like Star Wars anymore. I mean how much Star Wars stuff can George Lucas throw in our faces before we get sick and tired of it. Seems like he's just trying to sucker us into spending more money. Once that second trilogy was done then that should've been the end of it.
What's great about it: Star Wars Universe
What's not so great: Cartoon version
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

I'm a "Hellboy" fan and a Ron Perlman fan. Love the first movie. Was skeptical about the second one. Went and bought it without renting it first. Was worried I'd be stuck with a dvd I didn't like. The movie surprised me, I loved it, just as much as the first one, if not more.
I love the fact that Ron Perlman does his own stunts, it's all him. That tells me he cares enough about the fans to make the portayal of his character appear more realistic and believable on screen.
I loved just about everything in this movie except for the scene where Hellboy and Abe sing to a Barry Manilow song: "Can't Smile Without You". Even though it's funny, I think it was shot way too long and they could've left it out. Even though Liz looked tougher in this movie, I like her with longer hair and a more femine side.
I watched all the extra features after I watched the movie. Very interesting how they do everything. Especially the makeup, costumes and the puppeteering. Amazing what people can come up with. For example: The Troll Market. So wild., everywhere you look, you see something new and different. I was glad they didn't make them look like they belonged in "Star Wars". I was really impressed with the "Angel Of Death". Looking back, I think that character stood out to me the most. Looked so real.
I was disappointed that they didn't have any outtakes. I love watching those.
What's great about it: More other worldly creatures
What's not so great: Singing a Barry Manilow song
