Entertaining

Rating: 7/10 (19 April 2006)

I just wanted to see the beginning of Hellboy, to decide whether I should watch it in the future or not, but wasn't able to quit. Sure it's not a Great movie, but I still liked it and have some good words about it.
First of all I liked the character of Ron Perlman. Hellboy is a funny, very cynic and very close to human character ( even with his superhero ability) that makes this dark movie a little bit lighter and funnier.
Second is the direction. Hellboy looked good. Maybe it's not as solid as X-Men but it's still very entertaining to watch. The fights of Hellboy with Samael are awesome ( Much better than Alien with Predator ). The Effects are amazing and impressive even in today's abundance of superhero movies.
Overall, for me Hellboy was a good way to spend two hours and I would recommend it to others.
