The first movie of this genre that I love

Rating: 10/10 (11 February 2005)

"Hellboy" is the first movie from this "comic genre" that I ever liked. Call me a freak of nature, but I don't like either Spiderman nor Batman. Always thought of them as of we'll-save-the-world boring and pathetic kind of heroes - they are too good-looking and clean-shaven to think seriously of them, although I can't say anything bad about the actors. When I see the characters, I get this strange feeling that these guys got the highest marks in school, never lied and you can't see them eating something that is unhealthy. Hellboy is different. For sure. A demon fighting for peace on Earth. Cutting his horns for them not to grow further. Playing "lonely hero", watching cartoons and trying to hide a cigar from his father (professor Broom - the guy who "adopted" him, actually, but... ahem... this is not the father who just gave birth, but the one who grew the baby up, right?). Demon, which has a thing for cats, shows an ironic outlook on everything including himself ("I can promise you that I will always look this good!") and demonstrates a really STRONG love towards ONE girl. Unbelievable. Unbelievable, but who told you that real men are made in heaven? They only go there... afterwards... Special thanks to Ron Perlman who proved to be REALLY GOOD one more time.
