It worked well for this flick, and is one of my favorite supernatural action movies, accomplishing everything movies like Constantine were trying to do at the same time, but failed.

Never reading the Hellboy comics I did not know what I was getting myself into, but the film looked like it was going to do one thing and that was entertain me.

This doesn't completely redeem the film from a standard story, but having direction like this is better then a lot of the comic book films.

A film like this can quickly degenerate into a macabre gore-fest, but Del Toro cleverly injects threads of humor, love, religion, mythology, and existentialism to keep this from occurring.
