Be sure to check out my blog over at FlickChart, 'The Depths of Obscurity', where I delve into the most obscure sub-genres and decide which film reigns supreme.

Hellboy

 

Release Year: 2004
Review: A mid-tier comic book action film that fits more into the cartoonish genre then some of the better superhero films. The plot and character types aren't anything too original and a lot of the lines are garish and predictable, but I suppose this is to be expected from the genre of film. Unfortunately the film fails to bring anything new to the table. The look and feel wasn't anything special and seemed on par with the Ninja Turtles which was released nearly twenty years earlier. Overall its not a terrible attempt at comic book movie, but its not pushing any bounds either.
Rating: 3/5
