Hellboy

3.5/4 stars

The best comic book adaptations always seem to be the ones that can capture unique and compelling characters with a good mixture of drama and humor. This film does that well, and also provides an incredibly imagined and skillfully realized world (courtesy of Mike Mignola and Guillermo Del Toro, respectively). The pace is a bit slow at the beginning and end, but all in all an entertaining and well made movie.
