Should have been the blockbuster of the summer (spidey 2 is good too)

Rating: 10/10 (20 July 2004)

I'd never heard of Hellboy until I was on holiday in the states. Saw this film and was blown away. No expense has been spared, the scenes are on a huge scale and the thought that has gone into the characters is incredible. Obviously, they are already well established in the comic book world but the actors chosen to play them were brilliant.
All character actors, who are never headliners but should be, and the director have made this film as good as any other comic book to big screen conversion.
Message to my fellow Europeans..... when this film is realized in the autumn you have to go and see it. If you like sci-fi, fantasy, comic books or just a good old action love story full of big screen explosions and humour then this is a must see.
