Fantastic Comic-Adapted Action Film

Rating: Null/10 (5 September 2004)

Hellboy is a fantastic action film that is definitely one of my favorites.
First of all, the costume design is great. The costumes for Hellboy and Abraham were uniquely designed to fit their personalities and they looked very real and full of details.
The visual effects were also spectacular too. The monsters were all designed with lots of details. The assassin also looked cool since he always had a gas mask on and he had the blades.
The action scenes were okay. They looked cool, but they did not require much skill. Hellboy just shoots a gun or punches the monster, nothing with martial arts or anything.
The acting, well, there isn't much to say about that. Nothing special.
The script was flawed. When Liz blew up the whole place with fire that blazed all 5 of the hounds, Hellboy, Myers, and Liz all still ended up being captured.
The theme was interesting. It involves the rivalry between Heaven and Hell, with a devil from Hell switching sides to fight for the cause of good instead of evil.
