Rating: 5/10 (13 July 2008)

There is about 70 minutes of excellent Hellboy movie contained in this 110 minute movie. A large portion of this film tries to pretend that it is "Men in Black" with weird creatures and "funny" stuff. Once it finally gets serious, the movie is actually VERY GOOD. Del Toro's imagination is amazing. There is a great deal of "Pan's Labyrinth" flavor in this film, actually a couple of us thought that Hellboy was dealing with the same underworld from Pan's.
The biggest distraction for me was the new character being voiced by Seth McFarlane. I just had a hard time hearing Stewie from Family Guy as a supernatural hero.
