Synopsis: Based on the graphic novels by Mike Mignola, Hellboy, caught between the worlds of the supernatural and human, battles an ancient sorceress bent on revenge.
Reaction: Interesting sequences and stuff, but they don't need the swearing and the disturbing imagery at the end becomes too much and unnecessary since Hellboy's not actually part of any of that. Harbour does a good job with his character, but they really don't give him anything much to do with it.
Personal Rating: 5/10 |
