"Hellboy" or "Saved?"

[short bus president]

Thusly do I cast my afternoon movie-viewing fate to the Lounge. Don't steer me wrong, friends.

Hellboy sucks

16. Really?

I heard a sorta-review-discussion of it on NPR a few weeks back. I'd seen the previews in the theater, and thought it looked like a horrible waste of a couple hours, but the people talking about it on the radio said it was really fun - "what movies should be," IIRC. So I figured I'd give it a shot.

Of course, with the rain and the dark here now, it doesn't look like either of 'em will be an "afternoon" movie, but hey - Friday night TV sucks badly enough I might fit 'em both in before bedtime.

9. Haven't seen Saved yet, but Hellboy is a lot of fun. I can't recommend

either without having seen both though :)

10. Saved. I haven't seen either.

I don't like Hellboy type movies but I know people who do and even they said it was stupid.

14. Hellboy. Imagine if Tom Waits played the Hulk.

That's Hellboy.

[SemiCharmedQuark]

15. Saved...it's fun to laugh at fundies.

And it's just a better movie.

18. Saved

why didn't you post this as a poll, eh?

19. Saved...

I really wanted to like Hellboy, but it felt like half a movie to me... as if the entire thing was a build up for something that never happened.

Saved was good, though after an hour it went from a satire about religious schools and fundamentalism to a plain satire about high school. Still, it was entertaining and well worth the ticket.
