The acting is also seamless with lead Ron Perlman giving a scene stealing cigar chomping performance that rivals Daniel Day Lewis's turn in Gangs of New York and Jeffrey Tambor turning a stock cliché (obstructionist bureaucrat who wants to shut everything down) into a humanistic sympathetic character.
Hellboy's effects are simply seamless where one forgets that entire characters and locations are digitally generated.
HELLBOY 2004 FULL MOVIE ONLINE FREE PLUS
Many a big-budget Hollywood film has come out recently with horrible special effects that stick out despite 50 million plus budgets. Another kudos is in order for the special effects, both make-up (which is spot on) and CGI. Director Guillermo del Toro nails a comic book style to the direction that keeps the action and humor going during the most implausible circumstances. It is on par with the recent Spiderman movies (Hellboy sports a better hero and better CGI effects while Spiderman takes the nod in the love interest and villains categories) better than the X-men films and simply puts other comic book adaptations to shame (League of Extraordinary Gentleman should be particularly embarrassed) Hellboy starts with a rip-off of one of the last scenes in Raiders of the Lost Ark and introduces such horrible clichéd villains as Nazi babe and Rasputin. Hellboy is simply head and shoulders above those. Now considering the recent spate of mediocre comic book adaptations this is a bit like winning a beauty contest at a fat farm. It is on Hellboy: 10 out of 10: Hellboy is one of the three best comic book adaptations of the last ten years.
