Awesome! The way comic book inspired movies should be.

Rating: 10/10 (2 August 2004)

Although it could have been a shambles, Hellboy the movie manages to escape the hounds of cheese, drudgery and lack of plot, and instead delivers an action packed, witty and altogether entertaining movie experience. A comic book held in great esteem by a cult following will now have, I am sure, a new army of avid readers, for surely this movie could make a Hellboy fan out of anyone. Hellboy himself breaks the mold on corny comic book has-been ideas, and offers a different, likable, yet angry and interesting hero. Great supporting characters, good, solid acting, amazing special affects, a brilliant script, and action packed story, unite to bring us something to sink our comic book movie loving teeth into. Awesome!
