A film review

    This is a well-researched, fact-based drama about Hellboy, the man who is a supernatural superhero, starring Ron Perlman and directed by Guillermo del Toro. The film is based on the Dark Horse Comics work Hellboy: Seed of Destruction by Mike Mignola.In the final days of World War II, the Nazis attempt to use black magic to aid their dying cause. The Allies raid the camp where the ceremony is taking place, but not before a demon - Hellboy - has already been conjured. Joining the Allied forces, Hellboy eventually grows to adulthood, serving the cause of good rather than evil.

     The challenge for the director is to present the big red hunk as a believable part of the real world, and here del Toro goes against the prevailing wisdom (cf: Hulk) that such characters can be realised only with CGI. Though perspective tricks are used to make the full-grown Hellboy tower over regular humans, he is almost entirely a physical presence -first found in a lair surrounded by pussycats and food, with the rasping sound of Tom Waits' 'Heart Attack and Vine' mixed in as a character touchstone.

       But the best thing about the film is that it successfully challenges. Hellboy is superb in the several action scenes, and we get as many locations for skirmishes as levels in a videogame: a museum of antiquities, a funfair at Halloween, the New York subway and an impressive world of traps and dungeons under Rasputin's supposed tomb outside Moscow. But it's to Perlman's credit that Hellboy works as well in the wry comedy moments and the temptation sequence when his horns regrow (with a flaming crown floating between them) and he has a vision of the position he might hold as a master of a ravaged world.

    What’s missing, however, is that Del Toro isn't always attentive to coherent transitions while warp-speeding through his storyline. Worse, he occasionally neglects to prepare uninitiated auds with context from the comic books.

        The film ends with a good win over evil. Hellboy does not return to the dark side.

Describe the following people contributed to the film

Film producer: Lawrence Gordon

    Hellboy was one of rare movies. It was not only based on a comic book, but also felt like a comic book. It was vibrating with energy, and the viewers could sense the zeal and joined in its making. It was also constructed of nonstop special effects and fantastic makeup.

Film director: Guillermo del Toro

       He prefessed that fall in love with freaks. He used to make Blade II film that made from a comic book and the viewers loved the film a lot.  HellboyI was adapted from several Hellboy books such as Seed of Destruction and The Corps. Many of contents were changed. For example, Hellboy's status was secret. It wasn't revealed in the book, and Liz Sherman was a teammate of Hellboy.

Director photographer: Guillermo Navarro

       By the size of the LCD it would appear as though was a D1 series. There was no white balance sensor on the pentaprizm so it definitely wasn’t a D2H. Also, the photo was taking pictures of a crime scene in a really dark room with no flash.

Sound director: Marco Beltrami

      Hellboy soundtrack collaborated on both Mimic and Blade II, with conjuring music that immersed itself in the mood of each film, instead of simply grafting on orchestral boilerplate. He seemed to understand that he was scoring not just Del Toro's film, but the collective conceptions of a thriving comic book.

A scene from the screenplay

EXT. INSIDE CHAPEL RUINS - NIGHT

A rustling sound reaches their ears. Matlin readies a handgun

as Broom scans the walls with his flashlight. Something moves,

accompanied by a loud scrape.

Matlin cocks his pistol and nervously approaches a crumbling

statue. SCREEEECH!!!! A RED THING jumps into the air!!

Instinctively, Matlin shoots at it.

The RED THING leaps from arch to arch, followed by a trail

of bullet hits. Whitman and other soldiers join them --

MATLIN

(to Broom)

What the hell was that? An ape?

BROOM

No. It was red. Bright red.

WHITMAN

What are you two talking about??

MATLIN

A red ape.

BROOM

It's-not-an-ape --

They hear the labored breathing of a living creature.

MATLIN

It's got a big stone -- in its hand --

BROOM

I think that is its hand.

Hissing, the thing cowers between a gargoyle and a stone

saint.

WHITMAN points his gun at the scarlet shape above. Broom

stops him from firing.

BROOM

Wait --

In deep shadow, the RED THING observes with bright, golden

eyes veined with streaks of burnt sienna.

Broom slowly fishes a BABY RUTH candy bar from his pocket.

Peeling back the wrapper, he slowly waves the candy. The RED

THING shrinks back.

Broom bites into the candy and chews, noisily smacking his

lips. Offers the candy again. This time, out of the dark

comes a small FACE, not very different from the stone demons

around it.

The creature extends its right arm: it's solid stone with

tiny runes engraved around the thick, cylindrical wrist.

Four articulated stone fingers wiggle, reaching for the

chocolate.

YOUNG SOLDIER

Jesus! would'ya look at the size of

that whammer!

Whitman moves closer. On the wall behind him, a shadow shows

the RED THING climbing into Broom's arms.

Broom tenderly covers it with a blanket. The stubby fingers

snatch the candy. Broom smiles.

BROOM

It's a boy. Just a baby boy.
