O ya... I think that I remember that movie (by the way I'm pretty sure that was mashed up clips).
I think that I saw the first half-hour on a Sci-Fi channel special...
Hellboy. Had zero expectations. And fell in love with it. Hellboy rocks. You just gotta love Satan's son who fighting for good and using such profane language like "Awwwh, crap!"
And I agree, I was VERY positively surprised by how good it was. A very good movie.
I must say I'm pretty darn impressed with the blade work of Hr. Karl Ruprecht Krönen! I can just watch those scenes over and over again marvelling at those moves! Think of the coordination skill demanded to be capable of that !
