I agree with the above review

Rating: Null/10 (5 April 2004)

Wow, that guy really took some time to review this movie. I will concur on every account. Could have been great, but for some reason, people in Hollywood think too much. Then they ruin simple comic book movies. The plot was out of this world and made no sense. There was no explanation as to what Hellboy's powers are. The only cool thing about the movie was the evil assasin that had sand for blood. Beyond that, the whole thing was way too long and full of boring plot turns and some retarded dialogue. Hopefully the next comic movie that comes out won't be so short on content. They should have either kept the movie goofy and campy like a comic book, or made it really dark. Instead it falls somewhere in between and it bombs. Go see Eternal sunshine instead, it was amazing. Looking forward to Spiderman II, cautiously though.
