Hellboy's popularity stems from the fact that it doesn't take itself too seriously. You won't find a bigger Batman fan than me but, truth be told, the guy is a tad on the morose side. Hellboy's exasberated sarcasm and vulnerability make him very likable. After all, he just wants to belong in a world he is apparently destined to destroy. Who hasn't been there? I saw "Hellboy II: The Golden Army" last week and quite enjoyed it. Visually, it is stunning. "Pan's Labyrinth" director Guillermo Del Toro does not disappoint in that deparment. Nor does his script which features many quips and a credible villain. Also, he fights lots of monsters.
Here's the trailer:
