OK superhero fans, Hellboy is in the house! Never heard of Hellboy? Frightened by his massive red body and filed down horns? Yep, me too.

Let’s get to know him a bit better. Here’s some points of interest.

1) He loves cats.

2) He eats everything.

3) He loves a girl who can’t decide whether to love him back.

4) He has father issues.

Sound like anyone you know? See, underneath the red body and horns, Hellboy is just an average American who drinks Bud Light and wears leather pants with an extra hole for his nine foot tail. Also he lives in a fortified lair. But otherwise, Hellboy just like you or me.

The bottom line is, Hellboy works on the big screen. He works and works to save us from the forces of chaos and “things that go bump in the night”. The effects are good, the action is tight and the dialog does what it has to. Take note, the eye candy factor is high.

Hellboy is worth seeing, especially if you like comic book movies. It’s an experience worth the full price ticket.
