Hell Boy

My wife bought me this film this week. She saw it really cheap on VHS at Tesco. I had read the graphic novel recently, borrowed from the public library. The novel intrigued me. I wasn't expecting the film to be very good, I imagined it would be as disappointing as Daredevil or Blade were. Infact, I was pleasantly surprised at how good it was. John Hurt's performance is very good and the central character is oddly believing. I thoroughly enjoyed watching it and can recommend it. I like nice surprises.
