A Truly Different Superhero Movie,

Rating: 7/10 (12 June 2016)

Hellboy is a good movie with a well developed plot and a talented cast. It certainly stands out as being a much different superhero movie that what we are used to, it does not follow the same predictable elements, and Ron Perlman's stunning performance showcases a truly unique character. I felt the movie focused far too much on Rupert Evans, who really was the main character, the one who the audience follows and see how he reacts to the situation. His typical, cliché role gets very tiresome when there are so many interesting, bizarre characters, such as Hellboy himself, who we would have preferred follow. I also found Hellboy and Liz's relationship to be poorly developed, they talk about the great memories they have, but we do not get to see a whole of them together first hand, as a result of this I did not particularly care about them ending up with each other or separated. While it has its imperfections, Hellboy mostly makes up for it with a unique story and a dedicated performance from Ron Perlman, worth the watch if you are looking for a good action or fantasy film.
