just too much

Rating: Null/10 (9 April 2004)

Just saw Hellboy and have to say, they could have done anything with this movie - it was off the wall. There were parts that would just not make sense and I guess it was justified because there exists a paranormal world!? How the hell did they get Hellboy in shackles after the fire storm by the girl, isn't Hellboy immune to fire? How did aqua boy get out of the water, and manage to get all the eggs, and kill all the monsters that dont die? How does a god die from a gredade belt?! I know its a comic book and reality is stretched, but stories like XMen and Spiderman maintain a certain level of reality necessary to keep stories interesting and believable enough so that we can relate. All good comic heros exist in a real world.
In closing - it was a movie, plain and simple - I rate it a 5/10 and thats only because Perlman played a great Hellboy!
