In 1944, during World War II some American soldiers come across some German soldiers and some strange some strange characters, Rasputin andthe ultra-silent assassin Karl Ruprecht Kroenen. They are in the midst of conducting some sort of last resort attempt to open a dimensional portal and release the four demons of Chaos upon the earth and win the war. The United States had heard about this and sent troops, along witha young doctor called Professor Trevor Bruttenholm (knowledgeable about the occult) to stop this from happening. They over run the Germans but not after the portal had been briefly opened. In that short space of time a small creature came through the portal. The professor finds it and the soldiers make it their mascot. They call him Hellboy.
Sixty years later and the professor has aged, he is dying, and so employs a young FBI agent called John Myers to take over and look after Hellboy after he is gone. Hellboy has grown up into a man but although those around him have aged his physical condition is that of a twenty year old. He helps the police catch dangerous creatures from off the streets. Rasputin makes a return and gets the assassin to kill the Professor who has acted like a father to Hellboy. I enjoyed this film for the action, the story and the effects. Ron Perlman is the perfect person to play the character of Hellboy. The costumes were great and the computer graphics make the comics I read as a boy come to life. Adevilish film I would recommend if you are looking for an action filmand want to escape from reality. (268)
