Negative viewers include the predictability of the storyline, mediocre acting and the lack of charisma among the antagonists.

4. Hellboy: The Hero of the Hell (2004)
Rating - 7
In short, this is a story about how a well-trained demon helps people fight poorly-trained demons. But seriously, Hellboy is a spectacular, non-standard, humorous and sometimes very romantic film comic about the adventures of Ischadius, brought up by man and fighting with real monsters of all sizes and colors. His main opponent is Rasputin himself, who, along with his minions, is ready to release the forces of Hell. However, for this, Rasputin needs a key, which is Hellboy.
3. Hellboy: The Golden Army (2008)
Rating - 7
The top 3 of our cinematic demonic collection opens with another story about the tailed, bearded and charming Hellboy. This time, Red and his team will face not a powerful magician and Nazi sadomasochist, but an elf who longs to have an invincible Golden Army. The film immerses the audience in a unique fairytale atmosphere and introduces the secret side of the world where tooth fairies, disgusting trolls and monstrous creatures of the flora live.
Although Hellboy was conceived as a trilogy, judging by one of the February tweaks of Guillermo del Toro, the third part of the guy from Pecla can not be expected.
Hellboy 3 Sorry to report: Spoke w all parties. Must report that 100% the sequel will not happen. And that is to be the final thing about it

Rating - 7.2
In second place among the best films about the devil is a picture based on real events. In 1976, the ceremony of expelling evil spirits from a girl led to death. And the priest, who conducted the exorcism session, was charged with murder. To prove his innocence, the clergyman studies the story of a demon who has settled in a girl and killed her. In court, he will have to prove that otherworldly forces are not fiction.
1. Constantine: Lord of Darkness (2005)
Rating - 7.8
Tops the list of the best films about the devil film adaptation of the Hellblazer comics. Supernatural expert John Constantine (Keanu Reeves) helps a cop prove that her sister’s death was not suicide. In "Constantine" there are no long, empty dialogs, but there is a lot of action. And the main character, sending demons walking around Manhattan to Hell, does not look like a knight in shining armor. He has many problems, and the main one is how to find a way after death to get to Heaven, and not where many clawed and fanged creatures are looking forward to it. "Constantine" will appeal to those who love not ordinary horror movies with lots of blood and a minimum of plot, but interesting, noir and ironic films on mystical themes.
