HIs IMDB further cements my point about him mostly making "popcorn flicks." He didnt create Hellboy, though he did play a part in writing both movies stories and screenplays. The world of Hellboy was created by several other people in the 10 years prior to the film.

Do you ignore all the awesome/creepy horror movies he made or contributed to on purpose ..?

Read the OP or dont post in threads. He has directed 3 horror movies total. 5 if you include Blade(Action) and Pans Labrynth(Drama). He has written two of those 5 and did screenplays for another 2. Pans Labrynth is almost 10 years old and ever since he has been making cgi filled action explosion blockbusters(again"popcorn flicks").

Use your brain or don't post anything.

Of all the horror movies he was involved in (because guess what, when you have the cash, you make the rules, so even if he was "only" a producer, it's not to be ignored), which one was bad ? Oh right, none.

I don't mean to be rude, but saying there is no reason to be excited just because he directed blockbusters is plain stupid. I'm not saying YOU are stupid, but your statement is.

Also, yeah Pan's Labyrinth is drama. But guess what ? Silent Hill 2 is drama too. And it's one of the best game ever made. It's the atmosphere of the movie that matters, not just it's genre (which doesn't even fit this movie well).
