Hellboy comes to the big screen finally...

Rating: 8/10 (14 November 2008)

Towards the end of World War Two the Nazis out of desperation turn to the black arts, hoping to bring something out from the deepest depths of space. But in the midst of the ceremony the Americans arrive and stop them...However during the brief time the portal has been open, something has got through the rift. A red monkey like creature with a massive right arm. Still an infant the creature is taken in by the Americans who name him Hellboy and train him to become a protector for the world.
The film is based on the comic books by Mike Mignola and brings the short stories to life; the concept is very original and has a variety of wonderful creatures and people. Del Torro does a terrific job in bringing this dark and lavish world to life with blinding special effects and tongue in cheek humour which works brilliantly for the character. The cast ll provide a satisfactory job in bringing well loved characters to life....Hope the sequel is as good or better.
