Greetings, citizens! CAPTAIN OBVIOUS here with another movie trailer review! This time around: HELLBOY. And CAPTAIN OBVIOUS can tell you with supreme confidence, this movie is about a boy from Hell! Although this son of Satan, released by the Nazis but raised on the side of good, seems quite grown up by now, middle aged in fact, he doesn’t seem to have a problem with anyone calling him HELLBOY. HELL-MAN has a nice ring to it, and he looks like no one would screw with him if he brought up a possible name change.Anyhoo, HELLBOY now has gainful employment working for the U.S. in their underground paranormal investigations section. He’s joined by several other odd looking freaks (hey, don’t come down on me about being p.c., it’s how they describe themselves, okay?), and they go up against some really nasty CGI. And even the Nazis show up again, just to stir up some trouble. The trailer is a bit short on story but big on the make up and special effects. With the next Marvel comic adaptation hitting the big screen next year, everyone is wondering: will it be more X-Men-ish, or more on the Daredevil side? Time will tell, citizens, time will tell. CAPTAIN OBVIOUS gives the HELLBOY trailer two and a half film canisters out of four. Farewell!
