Raising Hell
Director Guillermo Del Toro continues the epic visual representation of the comic book title "Hell Boy". The first Hellboy was a great start in the series, visually impressive both with makeup and digital animation. The incredible attention to detail and exploration of dark art was inspiring for any artist, the second edition to the series seems to catapult over the original with a deep exploration of dark artwork and animation. Guillermo definitely knows his demons and demonstrates it well in this new tale. Ron Perlman portrays the character of Hellboy pretty well and is a perfect match for the hellishly inspired makeup which seems flawlessly attached to his body. Spectral Motion, is a Los Angeles-based shop that specializes in the design and creation of cinematic effects, special make-up effects, animatronics and action props. They are responsible for keeping up with Guillermo's vision of the series. The movie has been long awaited by me and hopefully does well, keeping the best formula for comic book series turned action films with great story and great design work. below is the synopis scraped from Rotten Tomatoes.
Synopsis: Based on the comic book series by Mike Mignola, Guillermo del Toro's gleefully eccentric film follows the supernatural adventures of Hellboy (Ron Perlman), a cigar-chomping, horn-filing demonic hero enlisted by an occult scholar (John Hurt) to fight evil in the Bureau of Paranormal Research and Defense.
Along with the fire-throwing Liz Sherman (Selma Blair) and the amphibious psychic Abe Sapien (Doug Jones, with the voice of David Hyde Pierce), Hellboy is joined by new recruit John Myers (Rupert Evans), a squeaky-clean FBI agent assigned to keep the big red devil's exploits in check. Things get out of hand, however, when a vicious monster is unleashed by the villainous Rasputin (Karl Roden), leading to events that may set off an apocalyptic nightmare for humanity. Echoing Peter Jackson's passion for THE LORD OF THE RINGS trilogy, HELLBOY is a labor of love from del Toro, a longtime fan of the comic and its creator.
The director's enthusiasm shows, since HELLBOY is a wondrously strange slice of pulpy adventure, mixed with horror and humor, and enhanced by stunning visual effects. In the title role (and lots of red makeup), Perlman is pitch-perfect, giving the good-natured misfit a powerful--yet surprisingly sensitive--presence. Blair, Evans, Hurt, and other actors are similarly well cast, rounding out an ensemble intent on retaining the movie's dark yet superbly entertaining tone.
