Query: Major Disappointment

What a major disappointment. Maybe I expected too much from Guillermo del Toro, but is this the same guy that made the great Cronos and The Devil's Backbone, not to mention the at least entertaining Blade II. Why do directors always screw up their dream projects? This movie had one great character (the sardonic Hellboy) and one cool villain sidekick (knife wielding Kroenen) trapped in a clichéd story that never went anywhere. I think del Toro just got too ambitious and bite off more than he could chew, trying in vain to juggle too many things at once. Sometimes that is admirable, but not when the whole things turned into such a complete mess. There is a director's version DVD coming out later this year of course, but since it's longer and not shorter, I doubt it will stop the film from simply clonking along.
