The film follows the story of Hellboy (played by Ron Perlman), a demon summoned to Earth by the villainous Grigori Rasputin (played by Karel Roden) during World War II. However, instead of falling into the hands of evil, Hellboy is rescued by Professor Trevor Bruttenholm (played by John Hurt) and raised by the Bureau for Paranormal Research and Defense (BPRD) to become a force for good.
In the present day, Hellboy works as a paranormal investigator for the BPRD alongside his allies, the amphibious humanoid Abe Sapien (voiced by Doug Jones) and the pyrokinetic Liz Sherman (played by Selma Blair). Together, they combat supernatural threats and protect humanity from dark forces.
When Rasputin returns from the dead with the help of his lover Ilsa Haupstein (played by Bridget Hodson) and a Nazi assassin named Kroenen (played by Ladislav Beran), Hellboy and his team must confront their greatest challenge yet. Rasputin plans to unleash the monstrous Ogdru Jahad, ancient Lovecraftian beings bent on destroying the world, and Hellboy is the key to their resurrection.
As Hellboy battles Rasputin and his minions, he grapples with his own identity and struggles to reconcile his demonic nature with his desire to do good. Along the way, he learns the truth about his origins and discovers the power of friendship and self-sacrifice.
In the climax of the film, Hellboy confronts Rasputin and his forces in a final showdown at an abandoned Russian monastery. With the help of Abe, Liz, and his newfound human ally, FBI agent John Myers (played by Rupert Evans), Hellboy defeats Rasputin and prevents the Ogdru Jahad from being unleashed upon the world.
The film ends with Hellboy embracing his role as a hero and a protector of humanity, alongside his friends at the BPRD. As they return to their headquarters, they prepare for the next battle against the forces of darkness, knowing that as long as they stand together, they can overcome any threat that comes their way.
Overall, “Hellboy” is a thrilling and visually stunning adaptation of the beloved comic book series. With its imaginative world-building, dynamic characters, and action-packed storyline, it remains a favorite among fans of the superhero genre.
