Rating: 9/10 (17 May 2004)

Hellboy reminds us that comic book movies are indeed good as did both the X-Men movies and the new Punisher film. It is a movie that doesn't take itself too seriously and gives us what we want in a super-hero movie: good action sequences, cool goodguys and badguys, funny moments, and suspense. This is a movie that all other directors/producers planning on making a comic book movie should follow so that we don't end up with such boring films as Daredevil which had zero character development and Hulk which was so slow you had time to go to take a ten minute run to the toilet after some bad popcorn and still not miss anything. This movie is one thing that is fun. Comic book movies should be fun and this is a joyful ride into the world of ink and advertisements that is the comic book world.
