They did manage to get Hellboy into the movie for a few minutes, but that's about the only good thing about any of the ideas here. When a movie has Ron Pearlman and John Hurt and I can't even give it a point for acting... something is very, very wrong. Maybe I'm being harsh because I had high expectations. Probably not.
