Summary - OK 2.5
An entertaining movie, but nothing more. I had never read any of Hellboy comics, and felt that before I saw Hellboy 2 in theaters, I should probably see the first movie in the series. After watching this pretty lame attempt at sci-fi action, I’m not sure I want to spend the money to see HB2 in theaters. The whole time, I felt that I was watching a weird X-Men/Men In Black mashup, with effects that were no better than the MiB effects from ten years ago.
Acting - OK 2.5
Average at best. Other than the paranormal expert/“dad,” no one did any acting that would qualify as GOOD in this movie.
Male Stars - OK 2.5
Female Stars - OK 2.5
Female Costars - OK 2.5
Male Costars - OK 2.5

It seemed that the script was interesting, but the actors made it pretty lame.Music - Really Great 4.5
I liked the soundtrack, though it was very stereotypical for an action movie soundtrack.Visuals - Very Good 3.5
Good, but very much reminded me of the visuals in saw in the Men In Black series, which were more than a few years ago ... this movie didn't have nearly as amazing graphics as it could have.Edge - Risqué 1.7

This movie is all about the paranormal.
