I was pleasantly surprised by Hellboy. It was smart and well directed and produced. The acting and characterizations were great. I particularly appreciated Hellboy's rye humor.
The back history of Hellboy's entrance to the Earth via a Nazi experiment gone bad was very engaging. The use of mythic legends adds an extra dimension to this story.
Of course Armageddon is is tantalizing plot point and seeing a vision of the future with Hellboy commanding the demise of the Earth was great. The arc of the story turns on Hellboy's human upbringing and this of course plays well with the Armageddon prophecy. This is fun movie that doesn't take itself too seriously. It is worth an hour 52 minutes of your time.
