Product Description
From visionary writer/director Guillermo del Toro (director of Blade II, The Devil's Backbone) comes Hellboy, a supernatural action adventure based on Mike Mignola's popular Dark Horse Comics series of the same name. Born in the flames of hell and brought to Earth as an infant to perpetrate evil, Hellboy (Ron Perlman) was rescued from sinister forces by the benevolent Dr. Broom (John Hurt), who raised him to be a hero. In Dr. Broom's secret Bureau of Paranormal Research and Defense, Hellboy creates an unlikely family consisting of the telepathic "Mer-Man" Abe Sapien (Doug Jones) and Liz Sherman (Selma Blair), the woman he loves who can control fire. Hidden from the very society that theyprotect, they stand as the key line of defense against an evil madman who seeks to reclaim Hellboy to the dark side and use his powers to destroy mankind. UHD release: As dark forces gather to hasten the Apocalypse, Hellboy (Ron Perlman) fights fire with fire in this mind-blasting supernatural actio

Guillermo del Toro (Director)
Director Guillermo del Toro strikes again! This is a movie based on a comic book character (though, admittedly, a most unusual comic book character) that doesn't SEEM like a movie based on a comic book character — mainly because, while it has plenty of action, it also has plenty of character development and numerous instances of witty and interesting dialog. See the other reviews for more detail and/or other opinions regarding the plot of the movie.
VIDEO: 1.85:1 • Color • 1080p • MPEG-4 AVC (25.9 Mbps)
The images presented in this movie are fairly sharp, with very good delineation of objects in the deep shadows (of which, there are many). Also, the image possesses a muted color-palette that works very well with the tone of the source material. However, the entire film appeared ever-so-slightly soft, and lacking in fine detail — as was evident in many of the close-ups of faces, clothing and the many occult artifacts (it was as though someone was a little too vigorous in the use of the "sharpness" control when transferring the film). Aside from some infrequent occurrences of banding (particularly around the dropped light-sticks when Abe was swimming in the underwater cavern), there were no other major picture anomalies (such as: specks, hair-lines, white dots, color fluctuations, etc.) to mar the image. Overall, this movie's picture quality, while very good, is another example of the learning curve that was encountered by those who transferred movies to blu-ray in the early days of the format: that is, usually more than adequate, but could be better (nothing that a remastering using current techniques and technology couldn't fix).
AUDIO: LPCM 5.1 (48KHz, 16-bit) • Dolby Digital 5.1 (448 kbps)
I listened to the LPCM track all the way through, and compared several short sections of the standard Dolby Digital track to the LPCM track. The midrange and high-end sections of the LPCM track (particularly with voices and music) were more life-like and had greater detail than the lossly Dolby Digital track. However, the Dolby Digital track seemed to have more prominent, and slightly deeper, bass than the LPCM track — though, neither featured very deep bass. The surround channels were fairly active and somewhat directional, dialog was cleanly recorded and well-placed, and ambient sounds that convey the location of the on-screen setting were effectively integrated into the soundtrack. The LPCM version is a very good (though not great) soundtrack, which should satisfy all but the pickiest listeners.

As for the service from Amazon, I'm shocked I received an out-of-print 2007 Blu-Ray as if it was just printed and plastic wrapped yesterday. Brand new, no dents in the case and in clean pristine condition. That goes for the plastic seal the case was wrapped in as well. Probably the best experience I've had with buying a Blu-Ray on Amazon, considering I've often gotten beaten up and cracked cases in the past... which I hate because I'm particular about the condition of my personal game and movie collection. Thanks Amazon.
Well, this past spring, Mignola hooked up with director Guillermo Del Toro and legendary character actor Ron
Perlman to bring Mignola's chilling saga to the big screen. If you missed your first chance to catch this rollicking potboiler, run, do not walk, and buy the Columbia 2-DVD set, nicely packaging the film along with deleted scenes, film & TV ads, a detailed documentary and more.
Del Toro, cast, and crew delivers a colorful roller-coaster ride which harkens back to the nail-biting pulp stories of the 1920s, and the cliffhanger matinee serials of the 1930s and 1940s. Its cunning terror opts for the majestically grotesque a la H. P. Lovecraft, amid topical monstrosities worthy of Clive Barker. HELLBOY is refreshingly free of the thudding goguery passing for "Modern Horror" a la ELM STREET's Freddie Krueger, among other cliches.
Perlman's take on Mignola's hard-bitten, acid-tongued, gold-hearted adventurer is a classic all in itself. The inner conflict between Heaven and Hell, grace and damnation, is outlined in every move he makes, and felt in the shading his voice can impart through even the lightest of lines. Catch HELLBOY's struggle in his very eyes, and begin to know what an exceptional job Perlman does here.
Speaking of knockout acting performances, don't miss Selma Blair's smouldering cool as the diffident firebrand Liz Sherman, or Karel Roden's utterly creepy brilliance as the malevolent Rasputin.
From Marco Beltrami's penetrating score to Guillermo Navarro's
unforgettable cinematography, HELLBOY is an enigmatic feast for
the eye and ear and mind. Tweaking the tale just so, while keeping
amazingly true to the heart of Mignola's text,
Del Toro's result is a maddeningly delightful,
gleefully mature film. Check it out!
Oh... and don't forget your cross.

The story goes that Rasputin (yes, the same) fails in his attempt to awaken the imprisoned Ogdru Jahad. During this attempt, Hellboy comes into our world as a little red monkey. He's brought up to fight against demon's and all sorts. In modern times, Rasputin is resurrected and plans the destruction of civilisation with the help of our red friend. If you've read the original comic, you'll know the story. It's a little different in places but the similarities are there. However, if you're unfamiliar with Mignola's work. Prepare for some weird things.
Hellboy is a film that really stands out. It was quite different back then and I couldn't imagine something this creative being made today. del Toro really outdid himself with the creation of this film. The character designs, the music, the atmosphere and vibe are all very unique and extremely memorable. Perlman oozes charisma, as he always does and the supporting cast do a great job behind him. John Hurt deserves the honourable mention as he is wonderful as Hellboy's adoptive father, Professor Broom.
The 4k transfer of the movie is about as perfect as you can get. The movie has always looked great on home media, but this just looks stunning. The clarity is spot on and the colours are quite something. The detail in the shadows is also impressive. The scene where you can barely see Hellboy's hooves is now sharp and highly detailed. It no longer looks drowned out in darkness. You can see every bit of detail in all its demonic glory. The high definition detail of the Hellboy make up and outfit, as well as Abe's blue fishiness etc is wonderful to see. Some of the CGI isn't perfect and looks its age but the overall artistic nature of the film hides it a bit.
I have owned multiple of copies of this film and this by far the best Hellboy has looked. It's a fantastic transfer and a must have for fans of the character. It's an excellent and highly underappreciated film in my opinion. Well worth picking up!
Très bonne gestion des noirs, le grain est plutôt absent, mais la qualité d'image est assez inégale sur l'ensemble de l'œuvre pour les effets spéciaux. Donc, cette édition Blu-ray donne un bon résultat.
- La bande-son (FR) est de bonne qualité (5.1 Dolby Digital AC3), même si ça aurait pu être mieux.
Néanmoins, l'effet multidirectionnel est bien géré et les dialogues sont limpides. Malgré un format Dolby Digital (AC3), la version française reste très correct.
- Côté bonus, c'est pas mal : Commentaire audio du réalisateur; Hellboy : la Genèse; Scènes supplémentaires; Les effets visuels; Test maquillage et lumière; Petit guide sur les comics.
Il y donc de quoi faire.
En bref :
Ce produit a un bon rapport qualité/prix; pour les fans du héros rouge à cornes.
!!! Emballage franchement sommaire, donc zéro pointé pour Amazon !!!
