Hellboy is a fantastic first outing for the demon-turned-hero and his team of an empathic fish-man and a disturbed pyrokinetic as they face Nazis, Rasputin, a psychopathic undead super-soldier, various monsters, and others in this battle of good vs evil by Guillermo del Toro. Great action, comedy, SFX and the rest make this a welcome addition to viewing, so enjoy.
Continuity mistake: When Hellboy is walking at one point, holding his gun up in his left, gloved hand (just after one of the agents has said "This place is like swiss cheese"), watch the frame. It switches suddenly so his right hand (the stone one) is his left, and he's holding the gun in his "right." (00:59:40)
Trivia: The soundtrack for this film includes a very unusual instrument: a precision-played theremin. The theremin was traditionally used to create spooky sound effects, but it this film it's actually used for playing melody, which requires exceptional playing skill. It's most heard in the scene where the portal closes and Rasputin dies.
