Rating: Null/10 (5 April 2004)

I have been a fan of the Hellboy comics for years and just wanted to let someone know that the movie held true to them as far as a film can. It was a good action flick with some nice explosions and a few descent moves. The CG was a little off, but the make-up was awesome and did the character of Hellboy justice. There is a little too much romance contained in the film, and I, as a woman, refuse to believe the film would have been complete without it. Romance is overrated, especially when it involves the classic tough guy. Red, in my opinion, would have been a perfectly wonderful character and completed his role in the film without the mushy stuff. I like fantasy, action, and gore; this rash of romance in films where it doesn't belong is extremely annoying. Please, if any film guys read this, let the tough guy be a tough guy without all the gushy stuff...Hellboy is a man, we get it, he doesn't have to fall in love to prove it!
