A great, fun film

Rating: Null/10 (11 September 2004)

Being a huge fan of Ron Perlman, I was expecting to enjoy this film although I'd heard little of the character Hellboy. For me, the film didn't strike a bum note anywhere although perhaps a little more development or use of some of the other characters might have been interesting. I know a 2nd film is in the pipeline so perhaps we'll see that in Hellboy 2.
I loved the character of Hellboy himself. Don't you just know if you had that kind of ability you would probably be much the same yourselves? I enjoyed the romantic element too with the character of Liz.
All in all, if you are looking for a weighty, make you think kind of movie, this won't be for you. If you are looking for a film that makes you laugh and eat too much popcorn while cheering on the good guys, then sit back and enjoy
