Based on the comic book series by Mike Mignola, Guillermo del Toro's gleefully eccentric film follows the supernatural adventures of Hellboy (Ron Perlman), a cigar-chomping, horn-filing demonic hero enlisted by an occult scholar (John Hurt) to fight evil in the Bureau of Paranormal Research and Defense. Along with the fire-throwing Liz Sherman (Selma Blair) and the amphibious psychic Abe Sapien (Doug Jones, with the voice of David Hyde Pierce), Hellboy is joined by new recruit John Myers (Rupert Evans), a squeaky-clean FBI agent assigned to keep the big red devil's exploits in check. Things ge... t out of hand, however, when a vicious monster is unleashed by the villainous Rasputin (Karl Roden), leading to events that may set off an apocalyptic nightmare for humanity. Echoing Peter Jackson's passion for THE LORD OF THE RINGS trilogy, HELLBOY is a labor of love from del Toro, a longtime fan of the comic and its creator. The director's enthusiasm shows, since HELLBOY is a wondrously strange slice of pulpy adventure, mixed with horror and humor, and enhanced by stunning visual effects. In the title role (and lots of red makeup), Perlman is pitch-perfect, giving the good-natured misfit a powerful--yet surprisingly sensitive--presence. Blair, Evans, Hurt, and other actors are similarly well cast, rounding out an ensemble intent on retaining the movie's dark yet superbly entertaining tone.

It's Not Art...
I didn't know the character of Hellboy from the comics, but the trailer looked fun. When I saw the film, it made me laugh (a bit), it made me jump (once) and it was fun in an 'I can see every plot twist' kind of way. But, hey, it doesn't pretend to be great art, and it doesn't take itself too seriously. Don't raise your expectations too high and you might just enjoy it. I did.
The Sequel That Never Was
I really tried to like this movie, but I couldn't help but think there was some huge back story to each of the characters that I was left completely unaware of.
The goodies weren't likeable enough, the baddies simply not dangerous enough, and everyone else just seemed flat and featureless.
Hellboy as a character seemed to be pretty indestructible, so whenever he gets into any sort of peril it just seems to be a matter of time before he wins the fight. We're briefly informed of the existence of some nasty beings on the other side of the universe near the beginning, but we don't actually witness them being particularly nasty to anyone, or threatening the wellbeing...
