Yeah man, i love Hellblazer. Other than a change in wardrobe and nationality i thought Constantines character was represented very well. They were also able to throw a lot of references from the first several issues into the movie without them being random or out of place. The only thing that was missing was the torment he has to endure from the ghosts of his friends.

Yeah, the first Hellboy was very faithful to the source material. Much of the movie was a direct adaptation. Mignola was very much involved and Del Toro worked hard to satisfy his criticisms and suggestions. Considering the scope that Del Toro wanted the movie to have. I don't see any other way that movie could have been made. The only real difference i can see, as a fan, is that the comics have a much sharper focus on the occult. The characters, though, resembled their comic counterpoints almost flawlessly (some better than others of course). I was glad to see a departure from the comics in the second movie. It's just a shame that no one went to see it. I would have liked to see how the planned trilogy was going to end.

I don't know, I think they took the most important aspects of Seed of Destruction. As a stand alone comic, Seed of destruction has very little character introduction. They had to write a separate story for introducing the characters for the movie. I look at the first half of Hellboy as character introduction and the second half as the Seed of Destruction story. What do you think, what improvements do you think could have been made?
As far as i know, a third Hellboy is still a possibility. Recent interviews from Perlman show that he is more than willing to return for a third installment but he hasn't heard anything. I'm sure that Del Toro would be willing to return to the story eventually, considering how he has always spoken about a trilogy but he is going to be busy for a very long time with his current and future schedule. I definitely don't think the studio would gamble making a third Hellboy without a big name Director like Del Toro, at least not after the numbers that, Golden Army pulled in. Most of, Golden Army was privately financed. That further shows how interested in Hellboy that studio is lol. If we ever do see another Hellboy movie it wouldnt be before 2013. Who knows what he will be offered after the Hobbit movies. I just don't see it happening, unfortunately.
