Hellboy (2004)

Director: Guillermo del Toro
Starring: Ron Perlman, Doug Jones, Selma Blair, Rupert Evans, John Hurt, Karel Roden and Ladislav Beran.
Certificate:12
Genre: Action/Fantasy
Awards: best make up

Hellboy (Pearlman) is a demon/man who was brought from a baby by proffesor Trevor "broom" Bruttenholm (Hurt). He fights demons and monsters in his adult life with a fellow monster Abe Sapien (Jones). In the film hellboy John Myers (Evans) joins the group to look after Hellboy as he seems to get into trouble with the public, being red with devil horns and a pointy tale. Hellboy's love interst is Liz Sherman (Blair) who can engulf herself in flames.

The bad guys in Hellboy are a dark wizard man named Grigori Rasputin (Roden) who wants to bring the lord of chaos into the world for no apparent reason and Karl Ruprecht Kroenen (Beran): An undead nazi warrior who was Hitler's top assassin. He is loyal to Rasputin and helps him with his cause.

The best scene in Hellboy is the opening with the soldiers trying to stop Rasputin from summoning the lord of chaos for Hitler. Compared to Hellboy2 this film is inferior but I like Hellboy for my favourate charector: Karl the assassin.

****Good
