Hellboy Animated: Blood and Iron

Doug Jones, John Hurt, Ron Perlman, Selma Blair

In 1939, young Professor Bruttenholm destroyed Erzsebet Ondrushko, a female vampire who bathed in the blood of innocents to stay young. Now someone in upstate New York is trying to bring her back, and...( read more  read more... ) the elderly Professor Broom has decided to investigate it himself. He takes the top BPRD agents, Hellboy, Liz Sherman and Abe Sapien, who are more worried about his welfare than the return of any vampire. Their tune changes when they face a horde of ghosts, a phantom wolf pack, witches, harpies, a giant werewolf and Erzsebet herself. Hellboy ends up battling the Queen of Witches, the goddess Hecate, who wants him to embrace his true destiny, a destiny that includes the destruction of mankind.

    Closer to the comic than the movies but it feels more like a bad episode of the Real Ghostbusters.

    Even more enjoyable than the last Hellboy animated encounter. This time adding Hurt's Professor Broom and further establishing their own continuity adds a more heartfelt undertone to all the proceedings. It's also nice to see every character get to play the hero for a little whil...( read more)e. The monsters look great and we get a better sense of the mythic world in conjunction with our own. It's sad that some of these ideas wont be seen in live action as their are some wonderful ideas that I would love to see Del Toro interpret. Again this is one for the fans who want to see an extra Hellboy adventure as I doubt it will appeal to the skeptics.

    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 occu...( read more)pied 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!

    Really nothing to it had a weak story and was just cool to watch to see Hellboy beat up a whole bunch of monsters.

    This is a must see for Hellboy fans. Great animation and the cast from the live action movies 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. Also this film is a little darker then the fi...( read more)rst animated film of Hellboy "Sword of Storms". Worth a watch.

    This was so disapointing. After watching the other animated hellboy movie 'Sword of Storms", which had excellent art direction and storyline, Blood and Iron was like a smack in the face with the dvd's cover. It just doesnt work. It's disturbing in some places, the story is terrib...( read more)le, and it looks like it had half the budget of Sword of Storms. Very poorly done, a big let down after Sword of storms was so great!
