Yeah, I saw it last night. Thought it was absolutely brilliant! Easily the best Batman film ever made and one of my favourite films of the year so far.

Heath Ledger's portrayal of the Joker was flawless in my opinion. He acted the role as I always thought it should be acted.

Haven't seen it yet but while I'm sure it's good i'd just like to say that Hellboy II is gonna piss all over the Dark Knight when it gets released.

And it's one I'll stand by until the day I shuffle off this mortal coil, Bat mans been done to death many times that it's become boring and stale and I doubt the film would have had this much press surrounding it if Heath Ledger hadn't kharked it.
Hellboy as a whole, be it the comic books, the animated movies or the film, is still as fresh as it was the day it got published back in 1994.

Hellboy, while good, smacks of The League of Extraordindary Gentlemen and Van Helsing. The new Batman movies are gritty and the style does keep changing. I don't think that the last Batman was anything like it's predecessors, and I also think that the hype surrounding this movie is more due to the quality of the last movie, rather than for any more macabre reason.

I am looking foreward to seeing both, but in particular the Dark Knight.

Saw TDK on Saturday and it was OSSUM :D

While Hellboy II will be good, it'll have to pull something quite spectactular out of the bag to beat Batman.

*dons flame suit*

"James Bond - The Quantum of Solice" will be brilliant.

I love the League Of Extraordinairy Gentlement but its a different sort of film I think, while it's still a comic book movie its more of a boys own adventure story that my grandfather used to tell me about when he was a kid and also more of an ensemble piece.

Another difference is the fact the Alan Moore who create the L.O.G disowned the movie when hollywood lightened it up and made it more family friendly cuz in the books Quartermain is a heroin/opium addict, Mina Harker is the leader, the invisible man is a rapist and in one page after he rapes Harker he actually gets raped himself by Mr Hyde and in the third book the Black DOssier a Gollywog turns up and starts saying stuff along the lines of "Bread and tits bread and tits", I doubt hollywood would have had that character in therefore the films can be watched by the family but the comic books i'd never let my kids read until there, Moore also disowned V for Vendetta for more or less the same reasons.

However Hellboy's creator Mike Mignola had a hand in both movies right from conception so even though his origins in the film are different from the origins in the book (Seed of Destruction) it's still classed as bible truth,
