Borderline horrible

Rating: 2/10 (1 February 2006)

Hellboy, comic's beloved paranatural investigator comes to the big screen in this live action extravaganza of crap.
Like one of the lesser episodes of X-Files, Hellboy delves into the "mythos" of Hellboy, choking his origins down our throat without bothering to tell an entertaining story while they are at it.
In a rush to give us all the characters from the comics, Guillermo Del Toro fails to give any of them any life. Consequently we don't care the least bit when any of them are placed in mortal danger and by the time the movie is over the only thing left to say is, "So what?" The effects are nothing special and the fight choreography is best described as uninspired. This movie is a waste of time, money, and film.
