To Hell and back.

Born in the flames of hell, and brought to our world in a pagan ritual, the fierce red hero, Hellboy (Ron Perlman), was saved by his friend and mentor, the benevolent Dr Broom (John Hurt). Raised in Broom's Bureau for Paranormal Research and Defence, Hellboy joins the likes of the "Mer-Man" Abe Sapien (Doug Jones), Liz Sherman (Selma Blair), the woman he loves who can psychically control fire, and FBI Agent John Myers (Rupert Evans), who is his rival for Liz's affections. Together, our heroes must come to terms with fantastic powers that prove to be both a blessing and a curse. In the process they discover that their abilities serve to benefit mankind but may also keep them forever isolated from the society that only they can protect.

Theatrical report

Hellboy is yet another comic book (anti-) hero brought to the big screen by Hollywood - an industry that gobbles up anything with the whiff of a plot and regurgitates it as, well, a Hollywood movie.

While it never reaches the heights of X-Men, Hellboy is still a fun film. There might even be a sequel: the dude is red!
