Good

Rating: 7/10 (2 April 2004)

Hellboy is a good movie. It is not a great movie. It is a typical comic book movie. The world is in danger of another great apocalypse. The best reason to watch this movie is Ron Perlman as the title character. He is funny and charismatic in the role. He make the movie watchable. The story is delightfully silly. The Nazis with the help of Rasputin open the gate to hell, or another dimension, or whatever it is. Hellboy comes out and is raised by the government. He travels around the country in a garbage truck to combat evil. Meanwhile, Rasputin returns with his henchmen to try to reopen the gate using Hellboy. Everybody got that! If you suspend disbelief, then you will enjoy this movie. I enjoyed this movie and it is not too gloomy that some comic book movies are.
