After seeing the trailers for the past couple months, I had to see the new Hellboy movie. Guillermo Del Toro’s first attempt was kind of lackluster - but once I saw that the effects mirrored Pan’s Labyrinth I was sold. I skated out of work around 3 and caught the show at 4. Here is my post-mortem txt to Nick:
visuals were great but they went by too fast. character development was poor. won’t win any awards.

The best thing about the Fourth of July is that Will Smith movies come out on Tuesday instead of Friday. As such, I was able to catch the first showing of Hancock today at 7:05. Charlize Theron and Jason Bateman are curiously paired once again. My comments, as furiously tapped out to Nick post-credits, are below.
hancock was great. action and the origin worked for me. best superhero movie of the summer so far. hopefully they don’t ruin it with a sequel.
Upon second thought though, this is not the ‘best superhero movie of the summer so far’ - but it certainly is the most creative and original.
I’m reserving the rest of my commentary for next week’s Podcast.
