Don't expect too much, and you should enjoy it

Rating: 6/10 (22 January 2005)

Firstly, I just have to comment on Ron Pearlman's performance as Hellboy, he breaths life into the character and makes him great fun to watch.
The basic story is kind of 'X-men meets Men in Black'.
Hellboy and sadly only a couple other mutant type characters are used to defend Earth from dark forces, intent of taking over the world. With very strong visuals, some fine characters and an action packed storyline, this movie is entertaining, amusing and great fun.
Kids will undoubtedly love it (I know my son does) although some scenes are not for young kids, and most people should think it is at least good entertainment, but don't expect too much as you may be disappointed.
Good fun for most 6/10
