Could have been good but a little too cheesy

Rating: Null/10 (22 April 2004)

I was expecting this movie to be bad but after all of the good reviews I was reading about it my hopes were up somewhat. Again I am reminded that movie critics are clueless tools. The Hellboy character himself was pretty cool I have no problems with him but the rest of the movie, especially the story was a little stale. Overall it was pretty cheesy and corny, it seems that the effects took priority to the story and plot which is never good. You may enjoy this movie as long as you aren't expecting anything too amazing. If you like the comic book you will probably enjoy this movie more than someone that is just being introduced to Hellboy for the first time. Kids will think it is awesome. It just isn't up to the quality of modern movies like X-Men or Spiderman. This movie would have been huge if it came out in 1986.
