Very good film

Rating: 9/10 (4 July 2010)

I 'm not very much into superhero movies, and I never read the comic book from Mike Mignola, but I really liked this film. It was very entertaining from the beginning to end, the atmosphere was dark, wonderful and the visuals were captivating, showing us a lot of unique, weird creatures that are creepy but beautiful to look at the same time.
The story was quite simplistic, but it was very funny to watch, mostly because of the characters: I think that Ron Perlman is a great actor, and here he made one of his best performances. Also, Jeffrey Tambor, from "Arrested Development" makes here another funny, interesting character. Doug Jones (The creepy Pale Man and the faun from Pan's Labyrinth)made a great work with his character. The rest of the cast is just perfect as well. Guillermo del Toro is a great filmmaker and Hellboy is one of the best superhero films ever made. I give ten stars, because it was a great fantasy film.
