review from http://www.thezreview.co.uk/reviews/h/hellboy.htm
As cheesy and absurd a film as Hellboy is, it does capture the spirit of the comic book. Del Toro does take his liberties with the material, mostly with the additions of certain characters like Myers and the villain Rasputin. Myers seemed added just as the third piece of the love triangle with Liz and Hellboy. As usual, Del Toro massacres the film with loud special effects sequences that by the end of the film are complementary to just show expensive spectacles. The dialogue is also horrendous and supporting characters lack finesse or depth.
awesome. Im going to see this tonight. can u feel the excitment.
