Hellboy (2004)
Directed by Guillermo
del Toro this comic book adaptation stars Ron Perlma, Selma Blair,
John Hurt and Rupert Evans. A demon summoned by the Nazis during WW2
is raised by an American professor and works for the FBI hunting
monsters.
Coming as part of the
glut of super hero films that the new millennium ushered in this film
offers a slightly different take on the usual. While del Toro is best
known for his visuals this film offers some interesting stuff but
never really hits the crazy heights of his other films. The plot
skirts around the idea of some thematic depth but never really gets
there and as such we are left with a pretty average genre film.
3/5
