From the desk of The Movie Snob:

Hellboy (B-). Decent action movie, apparently based on some comic book I've never heard of. Basically the title character is a creature from another dimension. He’s about seven feet tall, has red skin and devil-like horns and tail, and is immensely strong. Fortunately, he was raised by a kindly professor after he crossed over into our universe, and now he spends his time fighting other monsters from other dimensions who are interested only in killing people and, if possible, bringing on the apocalypse. Sure, Hellboy has issues; he doesn’t always get along with his “dad,” and he has a troubled romantic past with psychic firestarter Liz Sherman (Selma Blair). (But he’s immune to fire, so they’re really made for each other.) All in all, a visually striking movie that doesn’t take itself too seriously. It’s kind of like a cross between Underworld and Men in Black. Worth a look.
