Hellboy movie trailer! And it's got actual content-- it's not just a teaser. Yay!
It looks pretty reasonable. Abe even looks decent-- I was worrying about him, mostly. He doesn't have the Mignola-style very-flat stare, giving him the impression of being slightly more cheerful than in the comics, but that's survivable.
And I don't think I have ever said, "Whoo hoo! Nazis!" as happily as I did when they appeared in the trailer. Yay!
I have seen trailers that have made me blanch with anticipation of horrors perpetrated upon my favorite stories (League of Extraordinary Gentlemen, for example), but this one-- aside from not being able to totally emulate Mignola's stylized art (Hellboy doesn't have a HUGE CHEST and little tiny feet!)-- doesn't.
