Hellboy

From the dark side to our side.

In the final days of World War II, the Nazis attempt to use black magic to aid their dying cause. The Allies raid the camp where the ceremony is taking place, but not before they summon a baby demon who is rescued by Allied forces and dubbed "Hellboy". Sixty years later, Hellboy serves the cause of good rather than evil as an agent in the Bureau of Paranormal Research & Defense, along with Abe Sapien - a merman with psychic powers, and Liz Sherman - a woman with pyrokinesis, protecting America against dark forces.

In fact in some cases, like that of the character of Karl Ruprecht Kroenen, the film version is actually an improvement.

    Now on the face of it, this ought to be terrible. A couple of Nazis are on a remote Scots island using the spirit of the legendary Russian Rasputin (Karel Roden) to conjure up the devil. Luckily, their plan is interrupted by intrepid commandos under the leadership of scientist “Broom” (John Hurt) who not only thwarts this nefarious plan but also manages to rescue what was emerging from the devilish abyss and return w…
