Written by Andrew Cosby and directed by Neil Marshall , Hellboy actually gets off to a rousing, even rip-roaring start. The opening scene, set 1,500 years ago, introduces Milla Jovovich’s power-mad villain, and also serves notice that the violence will swing between cartoonish and gruesome, sometimes both at once.
