Normally, movies based on old action/comic heroes are either pretty nice (Batman) or pretty...well, ugh (Spiderman 2). Given how bleh the recent movies have been, Hellboy is suprisingly good, even for someone who had not heard of the comic book until the movie made references to the comics.
Basic plot seems to be a common one of late (ie - League of Extrordinary Gentlemen, Van Helsing): secret organizations seek to keep world peace/safe. In this case, Hellboy is seeking to keep an extradimensional being from being allowed into our world, creating an apocalypse only dreamed/dreaded.
The effects are really spectacular, and actually look good on the PSP. Ignore the Spiderman 2 disk - rarely does the movie blur, and rarely does it look fuzzy.
If you like action movies a la James Bond (especially with one-liners) or have a taste for something "retro," Hellboy is a good offering to slake your thirst.
On a side note, I did buy this after my parents bought me the DVD for my birthday, so that I could watch it wherever I went. It was worth it.
