Remember Hellboy? You'd be forgiven if you didn't. The 2004 film, released after Spider-Man but before Batman Begins, came along during the run-up to today's golden age of comics-to-film adaptations. As such, it's remembered by fans as an earnest, functional introduction to the world of Hellboy, where fantastical creatures (including the titular demonspawn) investigate paranormal disturbances and generally safeguard humanity. But in retrospect, it's clear that the creativity of director Guillermo del Toro was severely hampered by cautious studio execs more concerned with avoiding a flop than with creating a blockbuster.
