The plot is rather confusing, but their is never a dull moment!

Rating: Null/10 (18 April 2004)

In the final days of World War II, the Nazis attempt to use black magic to aid their dying cause. The Allies raid the camp where the ceremony is taking place, but not before a demon - Hellboy - has already been conjured. Joining the Allied forces, Hellboy eventually grows to adulthood, serving the cause of good rather than evil. "Hellboy" is one of the best comic-book films to date, leaving "Spawn" and "spider-man" in the dust. Yet this film isn't quite what i expected. The film is full of great monsters and characters, but lacks a coherent story line. Director Del Toro (Who scored big with "Blade 2") does a great job in rendering the dark atmosphere that the comics had, but the plot needed to be developed much, much better. Oh, well. Ron Perlman is great as hellboy and the special effects are EXCELLENT! 7-7.5/10.
