Hellboy: The Director's Cut

[Guest El Satanico]

Can anyone tell me if it's worth double dipping for?

[Kahran Ramsus 0]

I would say no. It is better than the original film, but not to the degree of something like Daredevil where the movie ends up being completely different.

IIRC the first release of Hellboy was pretty loaded. I find it hard to believe that they could have MORE quality stuff to fully justify a double dip.

[Guest El Satanico]

Well If I double dipped for this, it would just be for the director's cut of the movie.

If you already have the original release I wouldn't bother with the director's cut. I've rented the original and my brother got the director's version for Christmas, and to be honest I noticed no big difference. I'd get the director's version if I didn't have the 1st one though.

Sell the one you have to someone, then use that money to help go towards the 3-disc set. It's one of the best DVD sets ever in my opinion, and it's 15 more minutes of Hellboy goodness, all of which is worthy to own. Overall, it just helps flesh out the film as a whole, which makes that much more of a better film by the time it's all said and done. Like the DVDTalk review for this set said, it does indeed make the film feel more epic, and gives it a more seamless flow.

Everyone's overlooked the fact that the DC has an all-new commentary by Guillermo Del Toro, flying solo this time, that is just all kinds of awesome. Worth the "double dip" (although I'm loathe to call it that, since both sets were announced together) on its own.

Is the movie Hellboy itself worth getting or does it deserve a video rental first?

[Corey_Lazarus 0]

Rental. I thought it was decent, but not in the same league as some of the superb comic movies (X2, The Crow, etc.).

The Crow? You're not a 15 year old goth girl by any chance are you?

I rented it today, and well, let's just say it wasn't what I was expecting it to be.

[Guest El Satanico]

What did you expect it to be.

 

With access to the internet, there's no excuse for not being informed about a film.

[CBright7831 0]

I don't see how it has a 78% rating on RT.

 

It looked like a fun movie and well, let's just say it was worth a rent, and nothing more.

[Guest El Satanico]

It is a fun movie

The Crow? You're not a 15 year old goth girl by any chance are you?

No, but it is a very fucking good movie, and one of the best comic book movies ever made, especially since it stuck INCREDIBLY close to the source material.

[Nighthawk 0]

Oh it is not.

Wal-Mart is selling the 3 DVD disc set for $10 now. I'm assuming it has to do with the sequel coming out this year.

 

Can anyone tell me if it's worth double dipping for?

 

The extra scenes aren't overly crucial to the story, but the extended version does add a bit to the characters, particularly Liz. The new extras they included are also nice to watch.
