A nice dose of fun.

Rating: 8/10 (28 July 2004)

Ron Perlman of course makes this movie great and the special effects are excellent but the ending is quite muddled. Perlman has always been good in every movie he has been in so i knew if this sucked it wouldn't be his fault. I found the main monsters in this looking like something out of Men In Black so i wasn't too impressed by their design but how the government can possibly cover-up Hellboy after the fight in the subway is beyond me. An out of focus picture is one thing but sheesh! That Nazi guy with the blades was cool and i liked that helpful zombie near the end, very funny. I did find Hellboy slightly similar to Spawn but i won't split hairs here. A nice fun film which doesn't disappoint. 8/10
