Editorial Review: Product Description: Studio: Starz/sphe Release Date: 06/03/2008 Run time: 75 minutes Rating: Nr Amazon.com: In some ways, Blood and Iron captures more of graphic novelist Mike Mignola's original vision than Guillermo del Toro's lackluster feature did in 2004. Hellboy, the demon brought into this world by the Nazis, but raised by "Professor Broom" to fight for good, was conceived as a drawing, not an actor buried under make-up and latex. The story, which incorporates elements from Mignola's "Wake the Devil" collection, sends Hellboy, Abe Sapien, Liz Sherman, and Prof. Broom to the haunted mansion of a vulgar millionaire. Hoping to cash in on the supernatural angle, he's filled the house with relics of "Blood Countess" Erzsebet Ondrusko (based on the 16th century Hungarian noblewoman Elizebeth Bathory), whom Prof. Broom defeated in 1939. It's really haunted, and the gang tackles harpies, ghosts, witches, werewolves, vampires, and the goddess Hecate. The key actors from the live action film repeat their roles as voices: Ron Perlman (Hellboy), Selma Blair (Liz), Doug Jones (Abe), and John Hurt (Broom). Perlman makes a suitably underplayed Hellboy, growling his annoyance at everything from a bad donut to a vicious blow from the iron-clad goddess. The limits of the animation would be less problematic if the direction were more dynamic. Tad Stones and Victor Cook don't get the needed power out of the action sequences, especially the prolonged battle between Hellboy and Hecate. It would be interesting to see what a talented director like Kazuhiro Furuhashi (Ruruoni Kenshin) or Hiroyuki Okiura (Jin-Roh) would do with this material. Blood and Iron will appeal to some "Hellboy" fans, but it lacks the dark panache of the original books. (Unrated, suitable for ages 14 and older: violence, grotesque imagery, potentially offensive religious imagery) --Charles Solomon Average Rating:
![]() Rating: - Better than Sword of Storms? If you like creepy and spooky-Yeah! It's better!Start with a peek at a past adventure from Professor Brooms(No, I ain't gonna try for his whole last name) past. Lets have some vampires and a faithless priest for starts. Then toss in everyones favorite B.P.R.D heros and a greedy guy, some witches,a major mythological figure(Hectate)-we also have to have a werewolf and unavenged ghost! You can find out where the best pastries are-but whatever you do-don't order the fillet of fish! Anyway, with that out of my system, I'll add that Blood and Iron ... Read More Rating: - Hellboy: Certainly puts a new spin on packing Iron. Hellboy: Blood and Iron, was first commented to the cartoon network and was really hard to watch. It was not the content that caused the problem or the fact that Hellboy was being portrayed via animation that did this a disservice: to the contrary, the show was engrossing and hard to stop watching. The problem with it was that Cartoon Network would show 3 minutes of it, go to commercial, and then come back for a few more minutes. This took an amazing 2 hours of my life before I finished it, and I ...

In 1939, a young Professor Broom destroyed Erzsebet Ondrushko, a vampiress who bathed in the blood of innocents to stay young after selling her soul to the Queen of Witches, the goddess Hecate. Flash forward to today, a haunting in the Hamptons, on Long Island, is brought to the BPRD's attention. Broom decides to investigate it himself taking Liz, Abe, and Hellboy himself ...

Blood and Iron is visually amazing with art work done by Cheeks Gallow. If your a hellboy fan you will love this DVD. Rating: - Not as good as Sword Of StormsWith the latest Hellboy movie just hit UK cinemas, to gear up for it, I watched Blood & Iron. Although it's more a prequel, as it still features Professor Broom, voiced by John Hurt. (Thankfully, for fans of John Hurt, he appears in a flashback in Hellboy II.) The whole myths and legends featured in the animated movies are excellent, and I look forward to seeing more of them. The creatures are amazing, and come to life on the screen. I prefer the live action movies, but the animated ... Read More Browse for similar items by category:
