Enjoyed it more than I thought I would.

Rating: 8/10 (11 April 2004)

I have never read the Hellboy comics so I came into this movie with no expectations. I mainly went to see Ron Perlman. He is one of my favorite actors. I enjoyed the chuckles, and the sometimes cheesiness of the effects. Compared to many of the other Comic book films that have come out recently, as character Hellboy was far more interesting. Although the story line of Nazis occult practices and HP Lovecraft type monsters has been over done many times. In this film it worked. The final battle seemed a little short, but at least they did not drag it out so long you got bored watching it. And the best part: Hellboy, not the cute FBI agent, gets the girl. Overall it was fun to watch, It did not take itself too seriously
