Horrible...

Rating: Null/10 (17 April 2004)

Ok, we've all seen this movie before. Mix one part "The Mummy" with two parts "Men in Black" and you have "Hellboy".
If you like movies with a good plot, meaningful characters and inventive dialogue then steer cleer of this pile of CGI rendered crap.
If you get a thrill out of watching Hellboy fight the same beast half a dozen times you'll like "Hellboy". If you enjoy seeing the "ritual to raise the ultimate evil, only to be thwarted at the last second" ending for the ten millionth time you'll like "Hellboy". If you like seeing stupid blonde chicks with no business in a movie like this ham it up with a horrible German (or was it Russian? I couldn't tell) accent then you'll like "Hellboy". If you thought the reincarnated bald sorceror from "The Mummy" was worth a third look then you'll like "Hellboy".
Worst of all (spoiler) if you like to see the hero get eaten and explode the monster from the inside (MIB anyone?) then you'll REALLY love "Hellboy".
If you hadn't figured it out by now. "Hellboy" isn't a very original movie. It's a shame, because this is where I stopped becoming a Guillermo Del Toro fan.
3/10
