MCT:August 26, 2008I dunno... I wanted to love it but... the story was decent but the animation could have been better and the directing/pacing was just poorly done.
And y'know these characters are so awesome that I would love to see more movies about any one of them. I was extremely glad to see that it was largely a Professor Broom movie. Just impressed me less the further along it went. -

This is a must see for Hellboy fans. Great animation and the cast from the live action movie do the voices as well. Good story. It's great to see past stories on Professor Bruttenholm. Great mix of the Sci-fi and horror in this film.

MCT:August 4, 2008Fun, solid story and the visuals were arresting. Having the same people voice this as the films is a nice touch.

I am not the biggest Hellboy fan, but I really enjoyed this. For a cartoon, it was just spooky enough. I have only one question. Why were Hellboy's legs so thin? It was as if he was walking around on two red toothpicks.

The stories of Mike Mignola never get old and neither does seeing Hellboy animated. Blood and Iron is one of those animations that is geared more towards adults as it has a dark feel to it. This isn't rated R, but it sure as h*** isn't rated G.
As usual the story for this Hellboy adventure rides high on science fiction and that is what makes this series so entertaining. Blood and Iron focuses way more on story rather than the action. The run time is only 75 minutes and the action doesn't happen until 2/3 of the way in. Fortunately, the first 2/3 of the film is still good. The story jumps back and forth between the past and the present multiple times. What makes this even more interesting is that the scenes that take place in the past appear in reverse order, going back further and further in time with each new scene.
You do have to wait a while for the action, but you will get your fill at the end. Abe Sapien gets in on a bunch of the fights and Liz Sherman gets a chance to use her pyrokinesis to take down some baddies. Hellboy has the most intense fight when he battles the goddess Hecate. This is one fight that deserves to be in live action.
Once again the original actors, Ron Perlman, Selma Blair, Doug Jones, and John Hurt, return to do the voices for their respective characters. John Hurt has a big role as Professor Broom, while Peri Gilpin only has a few minutes with BPRD agent Kate Corrigan
This is definitely another good watch for Hellboy fans. "Destiny is overrated!"

Pretty cool movie. I'm glad Ron Perlman did the voicing role for Hellboy in the few animated films that I have seen so far.
A must see if you love Hellboy. -

One of the coolest animated movies I've ever seen. Especially the scenes that take place with Professor Bruttenholm in the past.

The better of the two animated Hellboy movies. Its a real shame that these movies don't get the recognition that they deserve.

A beautifully horrible monster story. Ghosts, vampires, and eldritch gods all face of against the BPRD. (You'd think they'd know better by now!) Creepy, lovingly animated, and originally written, it does Mignola proud.

Solid animated effort, steals a couple lines straight out of the comic, and the animation isn't flawless but still fun.

Hellboy: Destiny is overrated!
The second animated feature about the comic character Hellboy actually succeeds at being even better than the first. It's darker, better voiced, and overall more entertaining.
This time, Hellboy and his team head to a haunted house, which is occupied by among other things, a vampire with history with one of Hellboy's team members, Prof. Bloom, who fought the creature years ago.
[Erzsebet confronts Broom after 60 years - he an old man, she a dessicated, skeletal vampire]
Erzsebet Ondrushko: The years have not been kind to you.
Professor Trevor 'Broom' Bruttenholm: Nor you.
[she strikes him to the ground]
Erzsebet Ondrushko: So frail. Time has turned you to glass. I pity you.
Professor Trevor 'Broom' Bruttenholm: And I you. Growing old is not the worst fate that can befall a person... but you ceased to a be a person long ago.
The team must deal with this creature, as well as the goddess Hectate, who challenges Hellboy's role in society vs. his true nature.
There is also a very well crafted series of flashbacks that work in the way they are presented.
Once again, Ron Perlman is great in his role, but the other actors step up this time around as well. Selma Blair, who has been pretty passive, works very well here. John Hurt is also a welcome addition, really embracing his role in this story.
As mentioned, this flick is very dark as well. One of the main things I like about these animated Hellboy films is that its not tailor made for kids, there is a lot of blood in this one, as well as more natural dialog, that involves swearing and obscure jokes.
The action is also great. A battle near the end goes on and on, while remaining fun and well animated. Very good follow up flick and good preparation for the upcoming live-action sequel.
Hellboy: Hecate, seen your statue - aren't you missing a couple of heads?
Hecate: Why do you walk this lesser world? Mortals they don't know you. We are greater beings than they could ever dream!"
Hellboy: Yeah, well I'm doing just fine. Now ah, I'm kinda busy - I gotta go...
Hecate: Why, to save them? They're nothing to us! Only a few remain that observe the old rituals so I give them back the priestess and they give me sacrifices of blood. Now accept what you are and come and walk with me!
Hellboy: Lady, I was going to cut you some slack because you're a major mythological figure - but that? That's crazy talk. Now leave me alone! -

Pretty decent. The animation reminded me a bit of "Batman: The Animated Series" in terms of character design. I probably wouldn't have liked it as much had Ron Perlman not reprised his role and furnished the voice of Hellboy. I thought the first movie was pretty good, again thanks in large part to Perlman. A decent storyline with some decent animation. Probably wouldn't recommend this except to fans of the movie and comic book, though.

In 1939 Professor Bruttenholm disposed of a female vampire, thing is that she's now on her way back and Bruttenholm heads out with Hellboy, Abe, Liz and Leach to investigate and stop her.
Nice, the style is like the one in the comics which I enjoy very much, but it doesn't feel very advanced.
Decent, not more. -

Another of the seemingly ongoing HELLBOY animated series of movies....this one dealing with vampires and ancient demons....amongst other things. Very cool.

Superior a la aventura animada previa de Hellboy. "Blood and Iron" sera del agrado de fans de Mignola, ya que se apega un poco mas a las historietas.
-
MCT:July 23, 2007This is the best Hellboy story I have seen yet. Vampires, ghosts, harpies. Fun, funny, and lots of action. This is the best direct to DVD cartoon I have seen in a long time.

It's about time Flixter got this film on their list. The second animated Hellboy film, which actually manages to surpass Sword of Storms. Vampires! Harpies! Werewolves! A giant minotaur-thing with detatchable fist! This movie is awesome, and just as great as the comics. Someone give the animators a bigger budget, though, so they can work more magic in the next one! This is direct-to-DVD moviemaking done right.
