Hellboy

3 stars out of 5
It is difficult to know where to start. Jeffery Tambor is amusing as the head
of an agency of unusual creatures, including a big red guy named Hellboy. This
is a superhero movie made from a dark and weird comic book, so the film is
dark, weird, violent, probably true to a mythology about which I know nothing,
and full of sound and fury signifying nothing. There are just enough genuinely
amusing (not funny, but amusing) moments to rescue it from utter banality.
