Great Movie All Around!

Rating: 10/10 (11 July 2006)

It is a very difficult thing to bring a comic book character to life on the big screen and do it justice. People tend to have some preconceived idea's about how close the movie should be to the comic book itself. Although there are many differences between the comic book and the movie I really feel that Guillermo del Toro, along with a superb cast, captured the true essence of Hellboy. It is not an easy thing to do but Guillermo succeeded with familiarizing the audience with who Hellboy is, where he came from, and what he does.
This movie is one of my all time favorites and I can't wait until "Hellboy 2: The Golden Army" comes out next year, 2007.
