A Good Fantasy Film!

Rating: 9/10 (16 October 2008)

Hellboy is a good fantasy film. I like this for various reasons. One of my reasons is that Guillermo Del Toro blends history/reality with fantasy really well. When the movie was focused on the Nazis, they had the correct facts plus magic elements added in the storyline. Basically, the story is about a character on Earth from another dimension facing two battles: evil creatures from his dimension and love. I liked the character's personalities. Hellboy is laidback and tell jokes while fighting and Liz is just calm and collected except when in immediate danger. The acting is fairly good. I enjoyed the characters. The visuals are exceptional as it is usually with Del Toro's film. The music is better, different than usual superhero movies. The only thing negative is that it may be confusing at some points. Overall, a great action/fantasy movie. I rate this movie 9/10.
