Description
In the final days of World War II, the Nazis strive to use black magic to aid their dying cause. The Allies raid the camp where the ceremony is taking situate, but not before a demon, Hellboy, has already been conjured. Joining the Allied forces, Hellboy eventually grows to adulthood, providing the cause of good rather than evil.

I received my 2-disc DVD set in less than a week. Condition was almost new. My daughter loves the movie and watches it a few times a week. We've had no problems with the DVD. I am extremely happy with my purchase and will do business with this seller on my next DVD search.

Hellboy is a well directed and visually impressive film. My problems with it lie in the antagonist. He just isn't interesting. He is evil for the pure sake of being evil. Most of the creatures that Hellboy battles with are strange looking octopus creatures. It's hard to connect to the battles when the enemies just aren't engaging enough. They seem like rejects from Mighty Morphin Power Rangers. And the final battle consists of Hellboy fighting a large cgi octopus. The best villains are those that don't believe they are evil but feel that they are justified in their actions. They also need to be organic in my opinion. The sequel, The Golden Army is much better in that the villain feels his actions are for the benefit of the world that he occupies. Hellboy is a decent movie, but for me personally, it doesn't hold up to repeat viewings.
Customer rating is 2 of 5  Disappointing   2010-05-05
By D. J. Nardi (Washington, DC)
I loved Guillermo del Toro's Pan's Labyrinth and heard he was going to be directing the new Hobbit movie, so I thought I'd check out Hellboy. Unfortunately, I was pretty disappointed. I generally like films like X-Men Trilogy (X-Men/ X2 - X-Men United/ X-Men - The Last Stand), and superficially this movie was like those - the freaky superheros, the deranged villains. Visually, this is a strong movie and I can see del Toro's hand in creating a dark, visually arresting film.

However, the plot and the acting were lousy and cliche. Unlike in a film like X-Men, with the subtle and charismatic Magneto, the villains in Hellboy were a clownish Nazi and, I kid you not, Rasputin the Russian monk. Hellboy himself, played by Ron Perlman, was hard to take seriously. He acts too much like he wants to be tough, but comes across as trying too hard.

The story involved secret gates to hell which led to things that looked more like aliens than demons. There are also tons of lose threads - is it really likely that all of the hell hounds were located in one place? If the monster at the end was a "god," as Rasputin says, why was it so easy to kill?

I really wanted to like this movie, but just couldn't. At least the fish guy was pretty cool.

Hellboy: 10 out of 10: Hellboy is one of the three best comic book adaptations of the last ten years. Now considering the recent spate of mediocre comic book adaptations (as of 2004) this is a bit like winning a beauty contest at a fat farm. Hellboy is simply head and shoulders above the rest.

It is on par with the recent Spiderman movies (Hellboy sports a better hero and better CGI effects while Spiderman takes the nod in the love interest and villains categories) much better than the X-men films and simply puts other comic book adaptations to shame (League of Extraordinary Gentleman should be particularly embarrassed)

Hellboy starts with a rip-off of one of the last scenes in Raiders of the Lost Ark and introduces horrible clichéd villains such as Nazi babe and Rasputin. Yet the scene works somehow. Director Guillermo del Toro nails a comic book style to the direction that keeps the action and humor going during the most implausible circumstances. Kudos is also in order for the special effects, both make-up (which is spot on) and CGI.

In general I dislike CGI effects compared to models but they really do shine here. Many a big-budget Hollywood film has come out recently with horrible special effects that stick out despite 50 million plus budgets. Hellboy's effects are simply seamless where one forgets that entire characters and locations are digitally generated.

The acting is also seamless with lead Ron Perlman giving a scene stealing cigar chomping performance that rivals Daniel Day Lewis's turn in Gangs of New York and Jeffrey Tambor turning a stock cliché (obstructionist bureaucrat who wants to shut everything down) into a humanistic sympathetic character. (This is an example of very smart writing which permeates the film that makes even the clichéd characters into three-dimensional figures.)

Although all is not perfect (In addition to Nazi Chick and Rasputin we also have a Clock/Sand Nazi and a Space Cthulhu as an improbable villains); Hellboy is better than an action movie should be, much better than a comic book adaptation ought to be, and immeasurable better than a movie called Hellboy deserves to be.
