... View MoreOne of the best movies of the year! Incredible from the beginning to the end.
... View MoreFor plot. For performances - John Hurt as the great example. For cultural references. And for the action scenes, like for delicate love story. All - pieces of a splendid work who propose one of the most seductive roles of Ron Pearlman.
... View MoreDel Toro brings this somewhat obscure, but great comic book to life in a magnificent manner! It has a great sense of humor and an overall atmosphere to it. It's grim and dark, but not overbearingly so! Ron Perlman is great as Hellboy and the rest are good too. Awesome monster/creature designs and great action as well! Top notch!
... View MoreOne of my favorite movies. Hellboy is one of the those movies I didn't truly appreciate when I first saw it. I first saw it on Cable TV in a hotel when I was a kid. As a kid I enjoyed it, but I didn't think of it as anything more than just action film. a good one, but as a kid, I never saw it as anymore. On re-watching it as an adult, I Find it may be one of my favorite films ever. Guillermo Del Toro, in tradition, turns Pulp into Poetry. Hellboy has some of his best defined characters.Hellboy is the reverse chosen one. Instead of the farm boy destined to prophecieded to save the world, He is told to destroy. But thanks to the nurturing of Professor Broom, He decides to fight for everything good and just.What keeps this entire dilemma engaging is Hellboy's constant attitude. He is a hero, and you root for him. But it's very visible that if the wrong thing happened, He could turn to the dark side.Anyone self conscious will relate to Hellboy, and for the record Hellboy and LIz is easily one of the best movie couples ever. This movie is fantastic.
... View MoreI'm a fan of Ron Pearlman and I really thought I would like Hellboy and I did like the character, however there felt like something missing. I really wish I could put my finger on it, but it wasn't at all what I expected. However it was entertaining and deserves at least a 6. Maybe a 6.5 if that was an option.
