Review of Hellboy (2004) by Phil H — 24 Feb 2011
A well made sci fi comic book adaptation, the make up, Pearlman, Hellboy and action is all topps, faultless, just the usual problem...its again aimed towards the younger audience and loses out. It should be much darker and more gorey really, but Pearlman is just too good here for it to collapse totally.
Damn shame there is so much iffy looking cgi throughout the film really, looked OK when it came out but now it looks pretty awful when I saw this recently haha. Another problem is the plot and how many things simply aren't explained (how and why they happen), I found myself asking many questions during the film which does tend to spoil it because it doesn't make much sense.
Directors cut DVD makes up for allot though with the amazing content.
