Review of Hellboy (2004) by John O — 22 Jul 2012
As the Nazis begin to experiment with occult powers during World War II, a demonic child is pulled through the void and a new hero is born.
I must admit that I really didn't get this film the first time I watched it. But being a fan of Guilermo Del Toro's previous movies, I decided to stick with it and give it another view. Then it all made sense to me, and I became a huge fan. I have watched this movie close on ten times now, and each time I love it a little bit more. The story is just amazing, with comedy action, drama all interwoven in. All the characters are fantastic (with Kroenen being my favourite). It is just a shame that Doug Jones didn't get to voice Abe himself. Ron Perlman was born to play Hellboy, there is just no-one else that could have done it!!!! I aso suggest you read Mike Mignola's excellent graphic novels, as it shows how much care was taken with this movie.
