Sixty years later, Hellboy serves the cause of good rather than evil as an agent in the Bureau of Paranormal Research & Defense, along with Abe Sapien - a merman with psychic powers, and Liz Sherman - a woman with pyrokinesis, protecting America against dark forces.

Okay-ish comic adaptation... Plot is okay, as is the action... What stands out most are Pearlman and Jones! They're great!

Saw the director's cut, and it was pretty fun. It's a solid adventure flick with a likeable cast of characters. Perfect for a quiet night in

It’s got banter, quick 1-liners, incredible set designs, a mix of practical effects/CGI,& most importantly that special Del Toro touch

Good adaptation by Del Toro. Perlman is a great Hellboy and the fx are pretty good too. Watch it.
