Wooden acting, action for actions sake plot. BORING!!!

Rating: 10/10 (3 April 2004)

overhyped mish mash of scenes, characters are given very little depth except for hellboy. perlman's acting was uninspired, like he was just going through the motions. i expected more from him. selma blair was wasted. entire movie left me yawning, and wishing i had spent my hard earned dollars on another film. special effects ruled the film, instead of the film ruling the effects, which is sad. this could have been a much better film, if del toro had used a bit of finesse.
skip the film and read the comic!
if they do make a part 2 i'm prepared to skip this one. forewarned is forearmed.
