Hellboy (Blu-ray + UV) (Steelbook) (Uncut | Region Free Blu-ray | UK Import) - A Film by Guillermo del Toro

The famous movie should include Hindi audio. But unfortunately like of most of the movies don't have hindi language and audio as just expected from Excel Innovators. Quality is like dvd picture not a Blu-ray picture quality.Bought in Rs. 599 from Excel just surprised with excel Innovators.

This is the review for the DVD Edition. Firstly, the image on the page description here says director's cut which is 127 mins long. But this one is 117 min theatrical version. But as they have already mentioned this on the description, so in a way it is not misleading, I would still appreciate if they changed the poster on the web page.Now about the one I received. I received a 2 disc edition. I got Hancock for free with this. Thanks to the seller. The outer cover looks amazing. The inner part of the case is plastic , the one we usually throw away. That's why I reduced one star. There are literally no scratches on the DVDs. So it's a great DVD. Both the discs are region 5 locked. Go for it! I bought this one for Rs. 224

Hellboy DVD says "Director's Cut" on the DVD case cover, but the disc inside is the shorter theatrical cut (116 minutes in PAL format), not the director's cut (which would have been 127 minutes PAL format). Also, the backcover states 16x9 aspect ratio, but the film on the disc is in 4x3 ratio.The film itself is 5 stars, but the DVD packaging errors is why I have rated it 3 stars

Interesting Movie plot -Ill-directed.

Some scene is missing.

While some good directors never quite "get it," it took Guillermo Del Toro only one misfire -- the icky, slow-paced "Blade 2" -- to get the whole comic-book adaptation thing right.In fact, just about everything is right with "Hellboy" -- Del Toro crafted an action blockbuster with a grimy, slimy cult-movie feel and a quirky sense of humor. It's graced with excellent acting, spectacular action scenes, and the trappings of clockpunk and Lovecraftian horror -- not to mention that it stars a six-foot-tall scarlet demon with a soft spot for kittens.In 1944, young Professor Broom accompanied an army regiment to a remote Scottish island, where the Nazis -- led by Rasputin -- were about to open a portal to another world, and allow the vast tentacled Ogru Jahad (Seven Gods of Chaos) to enter our world. Rasputin and the Nazis were destroyed, but something came through the portal -- a baby demon, whom Broom names Hellboy.Fast-forward sixty years -- a grown Hellboy (Ron Perlman) and his fishy friend Abe (Doug Jones) are working at a paranormal government agency that specializes in policing the supernatural, with the weirded-out Agent Myers (Rupert Evans) just joining the team. Soon afterwards, Hellboy is called on to kill Sammael the Hellhound -- but it turns out that Sammael can replicate himself indefinitely.As Hellboy and his team try to hunt down the remaining Sammaels, the dying Professor Broom (John Hurt) finds that a revived Rasputin and his immortal Nazi followers have orchestrated all this. And Rasputin is continuing to pull the strings behind the scenes -- including using Hellboy's love Liz (Selma Blair), a depressed pyrokinetic. And when Hellboy suffers a devastating loss, his journey will take him right back to his roots -- and the potential destruction of the world.Watching "Hellboy," it's easy to see how Guillermo Del Toro because world-famous for the exquisitely dark "Pan's Labyrinth," and why he's been chosen to direct the forthcoming "Hobbit" movies. This adaptation could have just been another paint-by-numbers comic-book story, but Del Toro gives it the kind of grime, quirk, brains and heart that a lasting cult movie should have.Part of that cult appeal is "Hellboy's" distinctive look, with Lovecraftian tentacle-gods and some steampunky details. And the action scenes are pretty spectacular -- trains, slimy hellhounds, sword-swinging Nazis with chopped-up faces, giant clock cogs, and a fiery explosion in a mental asylum. And there are some truly spectacular action scenes in a vast underground labyrinth, full of ancient hammers and collapsing bridges. There's just enough action and grossness, without going overboard.But Del Toro is able to balance out the action with some truly touching moments, such as the aged Broom's final scenes in his firelit study. And there's a lot of dark humor here as well -- and not all of it is Hellboy's dry one-liners. The movie is liberally peppered with dark humor moments ("1945, you mean. Hitler died in '45." "DID he now?"), including some hilariously macabre scenes involving a bad-tempered Russian zombie ("This is Ivan Klimatovich. Say hi, Ivan." "Go that way, Red Monkey!").Most importantly, Del Toro is able to give his characters little human quirks -- hair plugs, love of cats, and Hellboy sanding down his horns in the morning. Perlman is simply amazing as "Red," whose gruff scarlet exterior hides a kindly, affectionate heart. Not many actors could emote through that many prosthetics (including a very lifelike tail), but Perlman makes it look natural.Though he's playing a ninetyish old professor, Hurt plays his role with a quiet, powerful sense of goodness. Jones and Evans also do excellent jobs, one as an erudite psychic fish-man ("We lead a charmed life," he observes as cockroaches skitter around him) and an earnest young agent. Selma Blair is the one downside -- she sort of mumbles in a monotone most of the time."Hellboy" is one of the best comic-book adaptations that Hollywood has turned out, primarily because of the darker, eerier aesthetic Guillermo Del Toro brings to it. Definitely a must-see.

On Amazon.com this Hellboy: Director's Cut Blu-ray + DVD Combo Pack cost for $8.41 means around Rs 560 indian rupees. Then why 1,599.00 for theatrical version which only has single disc.

J'ai acheté cette version collector 4K de Hell Boy parce que j'aime particulièrement ce première opus somptueux et baroque qui reste à ce jour le meilleur film mettant en scène le justicier rouge, en outre il faut bien reconnaître que c'est l’interprétation magistrale de Ron Perlman qui donne tout son piment à cet épisode, et j'aime aussi beaucoup l'aspect surnaturel qui flirte avec les créatures imaginées par Howard Philip Lovecraft, dont je suis fan depuis fort longtemps. Le film a été vu comme d'habitude sur mon installation home cinéma parisienne qui comprend un écran Samsung de 40 pouces avec une platine de salon Sony UBX-800, un ampli Denon haut de gamme compatible avec tous les formats audio 4K actuels et de très bonnes enceintes françaises Focal SIB Dobly Atmos 2.0 complétées par une enceinte central Bose : cette configuration est donnée à titre indicatif pour situer les conditions dans lesquelles le film a été vu. Les images sont très belles avec une colorimétrie chaude et intense et un piqué remarquable, la définition est superbe et j'ai vraiment eu l'impression de découvrir un nouveau film. La bande sonore française est un peu en retrait du format anglo-saxon mais peut être poussée sur une installation correctes dans de très bonnes conditions. Je suis très satisfait de ce collector, j'espère qu'il y aura tout de même une version moins chères pour toucher le plus grand nombre possible d'amateurs car c'est le seul moyen rationnel de continuer à faire vivre les supports physiques. excellentes séances à toutes et à tous.

La calidad de imagen y sonido es la que se espera de una película así. El gran "pero" de esta edición es que está censurada, eliminando ciertos momentos de violencia que sí están en otras ediciones.

La película es una obra de arte de Del Toro, unico detalle es que no trae ningún tipo de subtitulos.

fin da piccolo leggevo i loro fumetti....spesso acquisto i film nella versione con almeno 2 dvd per avere maggiori informazioni, oltre al film

I like Ron Pearlman and i do enjoy many of the fantasy adventure movies.The special effects and cinematography are rather cool.
