Thoroughly enjoyed

Rating: 8/10 (22 January 2005)

I had heard of this director through a Mexican friend and am very impressed by his work on this movie. Ultimately comic book movies should be aimed at a comic book age group or those who've read comic books their whole lives and this movie hits the mark on the head. I thought it was great on a number of levels. The CGI was excellent, I actually gave a s#$% about the characters, it was emotion provoking. Even thought Hellboy had awesome power he couldn't hope to have an even remotely normal life. I often look for movies to watch with my kids (all over 10 now) and found this one very enjoyable. The kids dug it too. It's one of those movies we've watched at least five times now and I've never felt like I was wasting time. If you're still a kid at heart you'll like this movie.
