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.

Can’t wait till the sequel arrives!

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.

Hellboy drips in style. The art direction, mood, colors.. all are so good that the action is just a bonus. Everyone brought their A-game and Del Toro got all of it and made a fantastic comic book movie.

I love the comics, and was thrilled when Hellboy came out in 2004. Granted, del Toro took a few liberties with the source material, but nothing worth nagging about. The result was an awesome (Yes... A grown man can use the word awesome and still be taken serious) experience, and ended up as one of my favourite comic adaptations.

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!
