If Van Helsing taught us anything, it's that no matter how many CGI monsters you can afford, they're no substitute for characters and stories that are actuallyget thisinteresting. Although Hellboy's effects aren't always top notch, Hellboy as a leading man is everything Hugh Jackmans fedora-sporting cipher isnt: funny, sympathetic, cool, and demon-stompingly badass. Director Guillermo del Toro gives you more behind-the-scenes access than the first AD, with deleted scenes, featurettes, and original art from Hellboy creator Mike Mignola. Thank God Del Toro opted to do Hellboy over Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban.
