HELLBOY **1/2 of ****

Rating: Null/10 (23 April 2004)

Hellboy focuses on a man/beast found in World War II who ages in reverse dog years. He is part devil and shaves his horns down to look normal. Compared to other comic book movies such as both The X-Men movies and Spider-Man, this film is brilliant. The fighting in the movie (although extremely rushed, especially near the end) has the comic book feel to it, and the movie has an overall comic feeling. Hellboy himself is a fleshed out, "cool guy" character, but the Nazi~robot~built with gizzards is alot stronger, more likeable, and in all the person I rooted for. With all of this in mind, I can honestly say I enjoyed 51% of this movie.
VERDICT: **1/2 of **** Recommended
