Doug Jones is awesome as the body of Abe Sapien. His movements are truly beautiful. And David Hyde Pierce as the voice is perfect.
Abe is a very interesting and neat character that I wouldn't mind seeing more of. And his makeup is as amazing or even more so than Hellboy's. John Hurt is great in this, as is Jeffrey Tambor. Everyone in this does a great job. But Perlman's performance as Hellboy really holds the movie together. His character stands out and speaks to the audience better than any other.
If you liked X-Men or Spider-Man don't expect a movie as well polished and put together, but you should be able to enjoy it and the more overt comic book feel of the movie. And unlike the aforementioned movies there is quite a bit of light humor throughout Hellboy that should garner some laughs from most anyone. Hellboy isn't perfect, I would have changed some things, but I had fun watching it and in the end, especially for a movie of this type, I think that's what matters most.
In fact I like it more now, after seeing it again, than I did when walking out of the theater. FAQ What is 'Hellboy' about? Is "Hellboy" based on a book? Details Edit. Release date April 2, United States. United States. English Russian German Latin.

Having received her powers from being the consort of Duke of Hell Azzael, she attempted to repent for her sins during her last moments on Earth.
