2.5/4  Hellboy: The Fire and the Smoke
"Hellboy" is a stylish film, but the story is actually a little muddled and hard to follow. I found the sequel to be a much better film.

As always, I monitored the film for tobacco-use. The cigar-chomping Hellboy, as well as three oth... (read full)

3/4  Hellboy
Very entertaining film, a little bit darker than most super-hero movies, which works for this story. It's an action-packed movie with a lot of pyrotechnics, the story line is a little confusing, but it didn't have to be crystal clear with ... (read full)

Hellboy definitely keep my short attention span entertained. I think they could have added more background information. Besides that it was hilarious and had plenty of action. Meaning shooting, killing, and fighting and stuff that keep you... (read full)

2.5/4  Weak to those who've never read the comic book
Born to bring hell to Earth, "Hellboy" (Ron Perlman) is saved by "Professor Bruttenholm" (John Hurt), who raised him to be a hero.

"Hellboy" leads the "Professor's" secret "Bureau of Paranormal Research and Defense" to protect the mank... (read full)

2.5/4  Hellboy Quick Review
Hellboy has some great characters to carry along the quite weak story line. Some witty lines from ron perlman add some humour to the story and the effects are pretty good to. overall not bad.

3/4  Hellboy Quick Review
In the glut of superhero films, Hellboy stands above most of the crowd. It has great and memorable characters and villains - a smart plot, great direction and it's just plain fun to watch. It may not be the best, but it's one of the better.

5/5 Hellboy Movie.
  by Jose Lopez (Miami,Florida USA)
Was able to see the movie a while back. Pretty good, I don't follow this character much so I am not a huge fan, but I like the movie. and I never heard of him til' now, Of course I wish hollywood wouldn't ruin comic books by making a movie out of every one of them! Good movie, good special effects and action.

4/5 Like action? Like Comics? Like Blu Ray? You'll like Hellboy!

I'm a action fan, and I love comics and comic movies. Hellboy is a great action comic movie in my opinion. Awesome special effects and cinemetogrophy (bad spelling). The plot is somewhat shallow, but there is a very cool villian and a good supporting cast helping Hellboy along the way. If it had a better plot, I'd probably give it 5 stars.

The BluRay Transfer is great! Looks and sounds amazing on a 1080P TV. Better transfer than a lot of the others.

4/5 america's critic

4/5 Hell Yeah
  by Chris Pelletier (Daly City, CA)
I own the director's cut on DVD already but I wanted to upgrade so I picked this up. For the price it's a sweet deal. The transfer is nice and the movie is of course enjoyable. They even put all the special features on. I personally like the sequel better but this one still holds up. The special effects aren't amazing but they still look good. They mixed them well and tried not to linger on them too long.

5/5 Awesome
  by Jeff Brown (Portland, OR)
Movie itself - 4.5/5
Video - 5/5
Audio - 5/5
There are lots of reviews available regarding the quality of the movie. I think it is great. Character-driven plot, lots of characters, great story-telling. The video on Bluray is suprisingly detailed for a movie made at that time. Many other movies made when Hellboy was, look poor in comparison. The audio is topnotch. The Bluray edition of this super cool movie is awesome. Highly recommended!
