I loathed this film when I saw it at the cinema – easily the worst thing I’d seen that year. It’s easier to be kinder from the comfort of my sofa, but the cool sets and costumes weren’t a match for the poor characterisation (of the surrounding cast, Hellboy himself was good), slightly murky plot, and terrible ending. Ho-hum.

I really liked the film until the ending. The Hellboy character was funny, likable and you really got a sense of him as a character. It just seemed to fall apart at the end.

I wasn’t quite sure what was happening. I would like to watch the film again after I have read some of the Hellboy graphic novels.

This is a strange review to me, because it was a great picture until the confusion at the end. I would hate to turn someone away from it, but the ending was un-fulfilling.
