Hellboy

[spqrblues]

In brief: Great big booms, great big squids, clockwork cyborg Nazis, and kittens! Hellboy knows when to tug the heartstrings and when to pull your leg, and remembers to have fun. It's thin on plot but heavy with attitude, looks pretty, and Ron Perlman is quite convincing as a big red devil. I recommend this one while it's still on the big screen, for actiony summer fluff.

Now that makes three reviews to write today (Hellboy, Harry Potter, and The Day After Tomorrow). Maybe I'll try for four, but not until after the horsies race at Belmont.
