Eugene Volokh doesn’t like Hellboy.

HELLBOY: Just saw it yesterday, and didn’t much like it. I enjoy action movies, and I rather liked Spiderman and X-Men 2, so I’m not against movies based on comics. But this one was pretty disappointing — formulaic, without much wit or innovative detail to make it fun despite the formula.

Tim Burke liked Hellboy:

Hellboy gets it right because it tells a story honestly. As one of my students noted, when you see an opening quote about the Seven Elder Gods of Chaos, you know that youÕre deep in the heart of Pulpville. The storytellers know that too, and they satisfyingly plunk their butts down right where they belong and stay there consistently throughout the film.

Philthee didn’t like Jersey Girl:

I watched Lawrence of Arabia the other day on DVD. It pains me to admit that I enjoyed Hellboy more.
