  • Hellboy

    Hellboy (2004)

    One of the greatest movies

    In 1944, World War II was about to end and the Third Reich was about to collapse. The remnants of the Nazis tried to use the power of black magic to save their dying fate. However, they did not achieve their goal. A small detachment of the Allies rushed to the site of the secret ceremony, and then the instrument was blown up by the Allies. The wizard who summoned the Hellboy was sucked into space by the door of time and space. Although the Allies destroyed the magicians and Nazis, Satan’s son, the Hellboy (played by Long Pullman), has been summoned to the world by black magic. However, unlike everyone’s imagination, Hellboy did not stand on the side of evil. He joined a secret organization of the Allies, was adopted by Professor Bloom (played by John Hert), and completed various difficult tasks for the U.S. government. With the invincible of King Kong, he and his fishman friend Abel (played by Doug Jones) smashed all the forces that dared to obstruct justice.

    However, as Hellboy continued to grow up, he began to show his ferocious side from the bottom of his heart. During a mission, the Hellboy met the Nazi evil wizard who had participated in summoning him. Can the hellish dark nature overcome the impression of kindness? Will he obey a witchcraft-style incitement and manipulation, completely exposing his true nature, or will he overcome his inner evil after a hard struggle and always turn to justice and humanity? Hellboy must make his own choice between justice and evil.
