Storyline
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 a demon - Hellboy - has already been conjured. Joining the Allied forces, Hellboy eventually grows to adulthood, serving the cause of good rather than evil.

One of the sturdier superhero movies of the last couple of years, with monsters and effects and diabolical baddies to spare, a heart as big as a house and a love story that actually gets its hooks in you.

Entertainment Weekly
Directed by Guillermo del Toro with a colorfully kinetic visual imagination that seldom lets up.

Hellboy likely won't be the best comic-to-screen adaptation this year, but, squared off against its early-season challenger, Marvel's "The Punisher," this is the winner.

The film - despite being a half-hour too long - is a rocking, rolling supernatural spectacle.

The screenplay has flashes of real wit, and Perlman is perfect in the title role.
