Script Review of HELLBOY 2

I usually don't highlight script reviews of upcoming movies. For one, they're sometimes unreliable for the obvious reasons that it can be an outdated script treatment. Second, it could be an "accurate" script that is being reviewed but you never know if the director in charge will change the scene described in the script and the meaning is clearly different than what it reads on paper.

Still, it's a slow news day. When genre news sites want to talk about a recently announced SEX AND THE CITY movie, you know everyone's out to lunch today.

Film Ick has posted a review of HELLBOY 2 today.. You should be warned that there are spoilers. The reviewer describes some scenes and storylines between Liz and Hellboy as well as the opening scene of the movie. You can read that script review right here.

HELLBOY 2 opens up on August 1st, 2008 starring Ron Pearlman (Hellboy), Selma Blair (Liz Sherman), Doug Jones(Abe Sapien). John Hurt (Professor Broom), Luke Goss (Prince Nuada) and Anna Watson(Princess Nuada).

See I used to gobble up stuff like this, but anymore I don't want to know anything about a movie or it ruins it.

Yeah, I hear ya! Some coworkers and I decided after seeing Superman returns, that if it was something we know we're going to go see, then we don't read any of the articles about it or watch any of the trailers (maybe just the first teaser trailer.) They show so much these days with trailers it takes away from many of the wow factors and surprises.

Even got my kids trained to jump in front of the tv or grab the remote and change the channel if a trailer comes on.

I don't avoid trailers, but I don't read movie reviews until after I see the movie. At most, I'll read the first and last paragraph of a review before I see it.

I definitely don't read leaked scripts - just seems to me that it takes the surprises out of the movie before it hits the screen. OTOH, it can be fun to read the earlier versions of the scripts to see what got changed in the final version, but that's something I'd rather read after seeing the final product.

Personally, I don't care much about spoilers. I figure, if the movie (or show) is really worthwhile, spoilers don't matter much.
Case in point: Sixth Sense. I knew the hook before I went in, but still had a great time.
Also, I've been watching Rescue Me, Season 3, on DVD. The Special Features include many spoilers, which bummed my wife out (we had to stop watching it after it got to be too much for her). But the quality of the show certainly trivializes the shock aspects (the ones that come from surprise, at any rate).
I don't seek spoilers out, but I don't flee from them, either. Just facts of life in a world flooded with information.
