Hellboy
In the final days of World War II, the Nazis attempt to use black magic to aid their dying cause. The Allies raid the camp where the ceremony is taking place, but not before they summon a baby demon who is rescued by Allied forces and dubbed "Hellboy". Sixty years later, Hellboy serves the cause of good rather than evil as an agent in the Bureau of Paranormal Research & Defense, along with Abe Sapien - a merman with psychic powers, and Liz Sherman - a woman with pyrokinesis, protecting America against dark forces.

That was an excellent one.
Instant Favorite.
It's an amazing and heartbreaking story.
The plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one
Hellboy has good acting, great makeup, good action but there too long, good production, the love Triangle is unnecessary and made one of the characters unlikable, the villains were not interesting, the film feels like a comic book in a good way, i thought how they handle the father death was good, overall the film was good, go watch it you'll have fun
One 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.
This movie sounds stupid on the outside, but its actually pretty good. The reason i say this movie sounds stupid is because read the plot. The son of the devil is raised to fight dark and mythical monsters that are hell bent on taking over the world. First the pros. So the makeup and special effects they have on these characters are astounding. Hellboy's even looks cool. The plot is actually kinda simple, but its simple entertainment. Simple entertainment doesn't neccesairly make a good movie, but it makes a pretty entertaining one. By the way if you love action in movies, then you are gonna like this film because it is totally action packed. But now the cons. So some of the characters aren't really engaging. Some of the characters i didn't care for because they don't really have much to do. So overall i really enjoyed Hellboy. It was entertaining, eye popping, and action packed fun. In my opinion, i say it represents a good example of a summer blockbuster.
Guillermo del Toro's follow-up to the successful BLADE II is another film in the same spirit: playful script, strong action and excellent set design. HELLBOY is another in the recent line of pretty decent comic book hero adaptations, and hey, what do you know, it's a pretty decent film. Perhaps not the masterpiece I had hoped it to be, but definitely as good as BLADE II and popular enough at the box office to warrant a sequel. After years of solid roles in support, Ron Perlman finally gets the lead role he so richly deserves, and he is brilliant as Hellboy, the wisecracking, bright red, half-human half-demon superhero who has a huge stone hand and files his horns away every morning. Perlman's make-up is excellent giving him that fine balance between dodgy realism and comic-book colourfulness and really, his character can't be faulted at all.The plot is rather thin, linking together a series of impressive set-pieces. The opening sequence in Scotland, with a group of evil Nazis, is very well portrayed, as are the various battles with the PREDATOR-like tentacled dog monsters which are able to multiply themselves when killed – kind of like the hydra. There is some great action involving trains and a scene with a huge demolishing pendulum kind of like the one in THE FELLOWSHIP OF THE RING. Throw in some nods to RAIDERS OF THE LOST ARK and some surprisingly graphic moments of gore and violence (at least for a PG-13 certificate) and you have a film that action film fans will find impossible to dismiss. Just check out some of the genuinely nasty villains too: from the aforementioned dog beasts to the martial arts-fighting zombie, who has had his eyelids surgically removed and who is powered by some kind of weird clockwork contraption, shades of CRONOS there too.Supporting cast is great, from the relatively unknown Rupert Evans who helps introduce us to the bizarre Hellboy, to Selma Blair – an actress I have never particularly liked before – as an incendiary fire starter. John Hurt is almost unrecognisable as the kindly old professor and Doug Jones is great as amphibian-man Abe Sapien. Del Toro throws in some fine artistic moments, such as the scenes in snowy Moscow where Rasputin is raised from the dead, and although the film has a kiddie-friendly rating, it feels really adult in terms of the very violent death scenes and blood spattering everywhere. Okay, so the ending unfortunately does get very predictable, and even the appearance of a Lovecraftian Cthulhu-style monster doesn't bode very well, as the CGI effects aren't THAT good. But it's not bad, and generally passes the time very well. Keep your eyes peeled for more Lovecraftian references in the movie, which are always fun for a book lover like me to spot.
