Hellboy
During World War II, the Third Reich has joined forces with the evil Grigori Rasputin, who has used his occult powers to summon up demon Hellboy to be used as the ultimate Axis weapon. However, Hellboy is captured by American forces and there he eventually grows to adulthood, serving the cause of good rather than evil.

It would be quite impossible to claim is that the filmmaker's love of his subject isn't apparent throughout every lovingly-crafted frame.

Somewhat entertaining, but too scary for many.

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

Ron Perlman, performing under a massive ember-red suit... is perfect as the cigar-puffing, wisecracking, kitten-loving demon who covertly battles supernatural monsters.

Probably one of the coolest comic book movies to come around in years...

Del Toro, in love with his source but never overawed by it, keeps things moving; Perlman ties it together with some of the driest witticisms this side of Indiana Jones. Like we said: fun.

Guillermo del Toro's best film yet.
April 14, 2013
When the movie's story line concentrates on the character of Hellboy and his relationships with those important to him, the film becomes a unique romp, with an exciting yet vulnerable superhero at the center who just happens to be the spawn of Satan.

To his credit, del Toro does not flinch from the ridiculous. But he is equally sensitive to Hellboy's pulp poetry.

This is the kind of movie you watch for its aura, for its appealing characters, for its marvelously sustained seriocomic romantic mood.

Unfortunately, after setting up this fresh blue-collar scenario in the movie's first hour, Del Toro wallows in pyrotechnics.

Played by Ron Perlman, he's the most magnetic action hero I've come across in a long while, though I couldn't make heads or tails of this story.
