Sinopses(1)
Hellboy nasceu durante a Segunda Grande Guerra, nas profundezas do Inferno, e foi trazido à Terra para fazer o Mal. Quando, a 23 de Dezembro de 1944, soldados Aliados o encontram nas ruínas de uma igreja, salvam-no e ajudam-no a desenvolver as suas capacidades sobrenaturais. Apesar do seu aspecto diabólico, Hellboy cresce e transforma-se num monstro humanizado, que luta do lado do Bem. A sua extraordinária força será fundamental para enfrentar vários inimigos, entre eles uma poderosa feiticeira determinada a exterminar toda a raça humana. (NOS Lusomundo Audiovisuais)

Hellboy é agradável. Tem coração, charme, piada, uma vibração fixe, uma dimensão de fantasy, e pode-se sentir dele que o argumentista e realizador Guillermo del Toro o fez com amor. Mesmo assim, não é o seu melhor filme. Não há ação suficiente, e a mais importante, a final, é surpreendentemente pouco imaginativa e feita com desleixo. Para não falar da falta de dinâmica e da energia do filme (Blade II foi melhor nesse aspeto), que não deveria faltar a um filme de banda desenhada como este. A não ser, claro, que seja sustentado por uma psicologia mais dramática (X-Men 2), o que não se aplica a Hellboy. De facto, Del Toro concebeu-o como um puro filme para relaxar, com base no humor, nos heróis simpáticos, na fealdade dos monstros viscosos e na atmosfera mágica do «outro mundo». Esquematicamente, basicamente, limitou-se a misturar as cenas relaxantes em que os nossos heróis passam o tempo no laboratório com cenas em que partem atrás dos inimigos e derrotam-nos. E estes dois planos, infelizmente, alternam-se ao longo das duas horas sem que nada de importante seja resolvido, deixando-nos na expectativa do que seguirá. ***1/2

Hellboy is a comic book Accenture exactly to my taste. It has a devilishly dark and sometimes perversely disgusting atmosphere, humor as black as a freshly filled grave and a hero so sympathetically unsympathetic that there’s nothing quite like it. The main winner of Guillermo Del Toro's film is Ron Perlman, whose mask creation surpasses everything I have seen so far in the comic book remake genre. Hellboy is a hero with a soul who doesn't have to define himself to the world through tons of explosions and fights... it's a little big poem about the eternal feud between hell power and good human aspects, which turns into something almost poetically tender in that big red body. The scenes where Hellboy strokes a kitten with his stone hand or eats cookies on the roof in the company of a nine-year-old boy, debating love with him, are the highlights of the film. Del Toro was able to properly balance the ratio of action and conversation, thus joining the commendable trend of X-Men 2. It's amazing how a movie about a horned monster managed to impress me... but not only that. The film was able to entertain me with well-crafted action sequences (which, however, are rather only above average and old-world nowadays), and it suggested an atmosphere to me that balances on the edge of black comedy and horror. It too bad that in the end the film loses some of the escalation and directorial cleverness with which it is conducted (with a slight exaggeration). Hellboy's world is very sympathetic and understandable to me, which is why I hope that "Red" does not end his brash journey with this film. It would be a pity if this muddy hellish relic doesn’t get a successor...

A visually captivating, but plot-wise somewhat overwrought breather that, given the premise, could have been better. The action sequences aren't great, the humour sometimes misses the mark and del Toro isn't very good when it comes to psychology. A lot is made up by the visuals, which are quite striking despite the average budget of 60 million, with decent effects (even if sometimes too computer-ey) and good make-up (Hellboy and especially Abe Sapien are simply awesome). The script didn't give Roden much space, but Perlman radiates charisma for a hundred lengths of his devil's tail. On the other hand, there is the very bland character of a young FBI agent who tries to woo Hellboy's girlfriend, but is otherwise completely useless. All in all, a film that entertained me on average and didn't resonate with me after I left the cinema. We’ll see with the sequel.

What does make a person human after all? Mentally he is 20, in love, irritated, strong, conflicted – and because of that, irresistible. I still remember that I didn't have any hope at all for Hellboy after watching the trailer, and then I ended up gaping with my mouth hanging open. A very fragile bond with Liz, constant teasing from the agents around, a complicated relationship with his father, or just the battles with Sammael – this hellish boy gets me everywhere. After many, many screenings, I simply have to admit that my beloved genre of comic book adaptations has its unassuming red king.

Hellboy has huge potential, but the creators didn’t do a good job in transferring it to the screen. The greatest mistake is that they completely ignored the mysterious Gothic atmosphere that simply oozes out of the comic books. In terms of story this is an almost disrespectful mishmash and the only thing that saves the day is Ron Perlman in the title role of Hellboy himself. Add to that the rather sluggish pace, over-long running time and a lame finale. So the result is unfortunately a mediocre affair that can be watched once, but never again.
