GOOD FUN, GREAT ACTION, RON PERLMAN AND EXCELLENT ACTION. ALL THAT BOYS AND GIRLS AND IT LOOKS INCREDIBLE ON BLU-RAY TO BOOT. Customer Rating: Summary: One if the best Comic Book Movies ever. Comment: Ok....with Golden Army, um Hellboy II for those unaware, just under a month away from it's DVD release I thought it would be nice to go back and review the one that started it all. First I got to tell you I love Hellboy Comics and if you have never sat down to read one of these gems or a TPB (Trade Paperback...again for the unaware)...then you really are selling yourself short. You need to get past that whole comics are for kids hang up. Because while Hellboy comics are fun and the way most comics should be produced, but arent (hint hint Marvel and DC)...they are most assured not your child's fair. Anyway....back to the movie. First off How can a movie be anything less then great when you mix Demons, Nazis, Chic's in flames, Monsters, End of the world, and for a lack of a better word...a very proper english talking and walking fish stick. I won't bored you with some long drawn out review discussing camera angles and lighting....there are those reviews here keep scrolling. I'm here to tell you without spoiling the plot...if you haven't seen it....then buy it. Do you like scary movies with a touch of humor? Do you find yourself after watching a "Super-Hero" flick that was good, BUT you found it lacking...too many unanswered questions?? Or a Superhero flick that felt like you were watching an hour and a half toy ad??....Well, get ready for something completely different! You will enjoy Hellboy...it is an Amusement Ride for your brain. A well thought out movie with very good character development, and on top of that excellent acting. The movie doesn't leave you lacking, the special effects are A+ and you don't have to wait 30 to 45 minutes into the movie before you ever see the main character. Anyway....Rent it, Buy it, Download it.....just take the time to see it. You won't regret it. Customer Rating: Summary: Phenom of a movie! Comment: Opening WWII scene is absolutely amazing. Guillermo del Toro is a film making genius. A must see!
