Dark and stylish Superhero movie, good Ron Perlman

Rating: Null/10 (19 February 2009)

'Hellboy' is an entertaining superhero movie directed with style by Guillermo del Toro. Unlike Superman and Spiderman, Hellboy is a dark superhero with a surprisingly demonic origin. The film is slick and well-paced and there are plenty of VFX. The production design is imaginative and the Special Effects achieve a lot on a limited budget. Ron Perlman has some terrific one-liners as our sarcastic superhero. Everyone else is adequate. However, I was disappointed in Rasputin (Karel Roden). He should have been a more menacing character. A solidly entertaining watch.
Overall 7/10
