I've seen this film receive lots of good reviews and praise. It even went on to win 4 Oscars which says alot about the film but I honestly could not point out anything great other than the film's cinematography and camerawork. The characters lacked any character and mind of their own, all controled only by the directers will and plot in mind. Everything from the entire film's plot, events, down to every second and word was expected. Except for the basement part but that was just a far unexpected stretch to an already far stretched plot. You are already told the entire film's plot at the beginning in just one line, a plot so simple and far stretched. You had to sit there watching going nobody is actually that stupid and gullible but I guess they are even though they are a really well educated and intellectual family being bamboozled by a family that is pretty much the opposite. Yet they are able to infiltrate, getting every window of opportunity to go right down to the smallest detail. Far stretched, expected and boring film.

Added to my top 10 favorite movies. This is my first review on a movie ever because this movie was highly under rated. I think it's the whole concept of Hellboy that I like and this movie captured everything perfectly and better than I would have guessed. It's an action packed, humorous movie and at the same time creepy and terrifying. The way they capture the whole concept of the characters, monsters and Hell was amazing. 8.5/10 It's a must watch!!!
