Great comic book movie!

Rating: Null/10 (10 April 2004)

Possible spoilers!
I'm going to be honest...I went to see Hellboy for two reasons...I am a paranormal investigator, and I love Ron Perlman.
I wasn't disappointed. This was a fun thrill ride. The bad guys are well done, and the creatures were fantastic!
Ron Perlman was wonderful in the part. Wearing prosthetics makes it difficult to portray emotions, yet you can read Hellboy's easily!
My only pet peeve with this movie was the lack of a "tying up the loose ends" scene. What happened with Clay? I mean, did he die? And what happened to Dr Manning? Is he still in that tiny room? Did he and Hellboy remain on friendly terms?
I have the sneaking suspicion that this was left up in the air to pave the way for Hellboy 2.
If this is the case, I will be the first in line
