For a far-fetched Sci-Fi Flick, Surprisingly Deep!

Rating: 8/10 (23 July 2007)

I don't think it's just me buy this flick was really deep in surprising places. It deals w/ past issues, the problems of how we look are a little explored, the depression of and issues of being picked on for being different, and the surprising violence, that children do on each other, the list goes on and on. It also had such great scenes and dialog, with the child on the roof and when Hellboy says just how he feels about Liz in a sort of clumsy yet romantic way like us mortals would probably do. It's really a great film for everyone, If it weren't for some of the great basic NAZI scenes and the well done action sequences, this could be watched by all. Leave it to G. Del Toro to make a could've been crappy adaptation very memorable and sticking to his guns to get the perfectly cast Ron Perlman (The Studio wanted someone well know and more "Bankable") to create such a film. Can't wait for the sequel, and loved the fact that "Pan's Labyrinth" won Academy Awards, and got him even more well know/loved by others. My favorite scene, when he takes his hand and looks into Liz's eyes and says so convincingly "I wish I could do something about this" meaning his face/look. Watch Watch Watch! It's great.
