Ron Perlman can do no wrong...

Rating: 8/10 (7 April 2004)

After watching "Hellboy" at my local cinema, I left the theater feeling that though I had enjoyed myself, something was inevitably missing. It wasn't till a few hours later that I began to reminisce about the movie. Nothing was missing, other than maybe a great script, but this comic to film adaptation was great fun and the acting and makeup and special effects were awesome. The bad guy in the film sucked but that was the only problem. Ron Perlman is the man, and so wasn't the crazy guy with the black mask on. Guillermo del Toro obviously loves the horror/action genre, as do I, and I hope he remains forever a horror director. This film is definitely worth the price of a matinee admission, and it should be a cool DVD! Now I'm waiting for del Toro's H.P. Lovecraft "At the Mountains of Madness", which should be unbelievable, and of course I'm waiting for a film adaptation of a Silver Surfer movie, or perhaps the Infinity Gauntlet! B or B+
