brilliant and beautiful

Rating: 10/10 (5 December 2004)

Whether he's fighting monsters in a subway train or under a Russian cemetery, the situations hellboys gets in are always leveled off by the fact you want things to work out for him. you can nearly see the hours out into each detail of his personality and those around him in this movie. He's not just a big red monkey, he feels like someone who could your friend or a hard working uncle of some kind.
It annoys me to hear people talk about this movie like its garbage because its much more than that. obviously its not dickens, but in the same way ghostbusters wasn't. watching it you could feel the directors love for the characters and you could see that love in the beauty and colours in the camera. If this was a generic comic book adaptation then it's the best generic comic book adaption of all time.
