Hellboy - A genre masterpiece!

Rating: 9/10 (18 January 2005)

I never saw Hellboy in the cinema and I seriously regret that. Now that it's out on DVD I saw it for the first time and I must say that it is the best comic-movie I have ever seen. Ron Perlman is the perfect actor for this role and DelToro directs the movie with a very special sense of humor. The script is excellent, because it is funny, romantic and pure action and the most important thing is that Hellboy does not pretend to be absolutely serious, it is made with a constant eye-blink. The visual effects are amazing, the sound blows away your speakers and the film is just two hours of exciting funny action. I like Hellboy, maybe you will, too.
