Hellboy Review
by Josh Gilchrist (Rating: 2/4)
While Comic Book Movies may be the new fad, I'm hoping that the trend will quickly end its tenure of terrorizing the cinematic landscape. How many of these half-assed films does an audience have to sit through before they rise up in dissention? It's...more

Hellboy Review
by Mark R. Leeper (Rating: 6/10)
CAPSULE: Mike Mignola's comic book character Hellboy comes to the screen in high visual style but none too coherently. Guillermo del Toro does a better job directing than adapting the story from the comic book to the screen. This is a film that is...more

Hellboy Review
by David N. Butterworth (Rating: 2.5/4)
If "Hellboy," the latest film from Mexican director Guillermo del Toro ("The Devil's Backbone"), were nearly as good as its eponymous, sanguine hero it'd be one hell of a movie. As it is this comic book-based, "X-Men"-inspired Mutants vs. Nazis...more

Hellboy Review
by Ryan Ellis
Didn't Ron Perlman play a heavily made-up, misunderstood, underground hero somewhere else? Wasn't it on television when he played Vincent in the "Beauty And The Beast" series? Why, yes, that's correct. This isn't new territory for Perlman. Strangely,...more

Hellboy Review

"Hellboy" may be mostly eye candy. But there's a certain level of dedication from the filmmakers that helps this offering get more mileage than it probably should. You certainly feel it when you see it, whether it's the beautifully envisioned snowy...more

Hellboy Review

Susan Granger's review of "Hellboy" (Columbia Pictures) Egad! It's April and the monster-mash comic-book movies have already burst into bloom. Six comic book adaptations are scheduled for release this year, including "The Punisher," "Catwoman,"...more

Hellboy Review
by Robin Clifford (Rating: B-)

Hellboy Review
by Steve Rhodes (Rating: 2/4)
HELLBOY, by director Guillermo del Toro (BLADE II), is a long, violent, cigar commercial that's for Hellboy comic book fans only. Although better than DAREDEVIL, it is not anywhere near in the X-MEN league, the movie it tries most to mimic. A long and...more
