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.

Highly entertaining, fast paced and humorous. What do you want more? A very good comic adaption! And by the way the best movie by Guillermo del Toro! I keep watching his movie after having suffered the mediocre "Pan's Labyrith" and "Pacific Rim" in the hope that he can reach the class of Hellboy!

You can really tell when a filmmaker pays attention to the great details that make a story so good. The small things in this movie really add up to flesh out the Hellboy universe. The film has style, substance, wit, backstory, great soundtrack, and beautiful scene/cinematography. With that said, the subject matter is not everyone's cup of tea, but I really enjoyed it.

An action movie with a touch of Lovecraftian Horror. Ron Perlman is unbelievably good in the lead role. His performance is physical, funny, soft and even sensitive when it needs to be. The Abe Sapien character played by Doug Jones is cool and I'm glad to see the character get a larger role in the "Hellboy II: The Golden Army" sequel. The creatures are plentiful and the practical effects are a standout. Having Nazis and Rasputin as bad guys certainly provides a significant challenge to the team of super-powered good guys, as well. As with all Del Toro creations, this is a great looking movie. It's one of my favorites of the "superhero" genre.

Maybe I'm just getting old, but most modern films just aren't hitting the same, they lack that je ne sais quoi... depth, perhaps? I keep gravitating back to the fantastic old shows that were made for the love of the craft, for that nostalgic goodness, Hellboy is one of them. I love it every time. 8/10 - for Ron Pearlman in the greatest role of his career, for the King of character acting, Mr. Doug Jones, and for a fantastic live action film all around, timeless from 2004.

Guillermo del Toro picks up Dark Horse comic book Mike Mignola and adapts it with his own vision but still respects the source material like he's a fan. He is a fan and it shows. There can be much said about where this film comes from, but for me it's save to say that it's a love letter to the Hellb More

Hellboy is not a movie for everyone, no matter how much humour is in the screenplay. Nevertheless, Guillermo del Toro's usual knack for outstanding visuals, cool looking action, and focus on character development makes Hellboy unique and entertaining af.

Also, Ron Perlman is an amazing leading ma More

I love the Mike Mignola _Hellboy_ comics, and this movie is a pretty massive deviation from that source material. Oddly though, I'm kind of not bothered by that. In fact in some cases, like that of the character of Karl Ruprecht Kroenen, the film version is actually an improvement. A regular re-watc More
