If you like comic book movies, you will like this one.

Rating: 7/10 (2 April 2004)

I went to see Hellboy on a whim. I have seen several of the comic book movies and have started getting tired of them. Maybe I went in with low expectations but this movie delivered. I like Ron Perlman and he did a good job. The special effects were top rate and the story stayed on coarse. I can not think of any weaknesses in the whole movie. Even though I am not familiar with any of the Hellboy characters, I felt each one was well establish by the end of the movie except for John Myers. Something seems to be hidden about him which I assume we will learn in the sequel. The movie is a little longer than usual (a little over 2 hours) but you will not get bored. There also is a little surprise if you wait through the credits.
