Just because Del Toro isnt directing and Hellboy isnt Perlman doesnt mean this film should be getting slammed unfairly the way it is. it's a new vision and adaptation that actually works even better as far as following comic source material.Just because Del Toro isnt directing and Hellboy isnt Perlman doesnt mean this film should be getting slammed unfairly the way it is. it's a new vision and adaptation that actually works even better as far as following comic source material. The action and pacing is intense and the horror aspects are really well blended. People keep slandering the cgi and honestly its excellent cgi. The story blends many different particular comics together and it works. David Harbor gives a lot of great character to hellboy as well. Just see this and pay no mind to delusional biased critics and haters. It's a fun adaptation.… Expand

I love this film!

It's what I wanted! King Arthur and CGI happens to be my thing. I very much loved the climax scene and I do hope a sequel can be possible.

Why so many didn’t like it?! Maybe because it’s not typical “ Politically correct” movie... But that doesn't make it bad!!!

This movie is NOT the del Toro version. It's not the Hellboy 3 most people wanted and are probably going to be angry that it's not. It's more true to the comics and has lots of nods to the comics and what happens in them. There is some issue with the pacing and it would probably make a better mini series, given that there is SO much content they go through, but it is a movie and they have to work with a time constraint as well as a low budget, which I think they took full advantage of. This Hellboy, as I said, is more true to the comics. It isn't perfect, but because so many people are just ripping on it for not being del Toro's Hellboy, I'm giving it a 10. It's more like an 8 or 7. It's very enjoyable and definitely rated 9. The graphic novel content is not watered down to be palatable for children, so don't take your kids. It's very metal and full of action. The creatures are amazingly designed and it's very true to the comics.… Expand

There's a lot of humor and action scenes in this. Gorehounds will be pleased to know that the R-rating is well deserved. They really run with the supernatural/fantasy elements and there's some pretty memorable visual moments.

I've heard a lot of complaints that there is too much going and the movie is choppy. I admit they crunch a lot of stuff in but in fairness, that's not too different than the Hellboy comics. Creator Mike Mignola often fits a lot of separate elements into a single story. (Let's be honest, he's more of an idea guy, than a planning guy.) Personally, I liked that this had a lot of things going on. Say what you will about this movie, but it never gets slow. Even though it's a kinda complex plot, I never got lost or confused about what was happening.

Rumor has it that there was a lot of behind-the-scenes conflict between director Neil Marshall (The Descent; Dog Soldiers) and the film's many producers. And, I can sort of see it. The beginning exposition feels like it was abridged and had a narration slapped on. It felt like in order to make things funnier, there was a lot of recorded dialogue added after filming which was a wee bit noticeable. (Though in fairness to the added dialogue, I may have been looking for it since I heard about the editing issues ahead of time. I'm also aware that now I've told you about it that you could probably be looking for it too and you may not have noticed otherwise. Sorry.) They finally manage to include a Hellboy character that a lot of fans of the comics will be happy about, but he or she is so wedged in that it doesn't feel quite natural.

I loved some of the creature designs in this. The movie includes some pretty creepy monsters. Unfortunately, this is a Millennium film and the budget isn't as big as a lot of the other comic book blockbusters out there. The computer graphics for the monsters are subpar. (A quick look at Hellboy is cut mercifully quick as it is so bad.) The quality just doesn't match the earlier Hellboy films, which are several years old.

David Harbour does a good job as the titular Hellboy. Admittedly, Ron Perlman does a better job of the human, emotional side of Hellboy, but Harbour is definitely funnier. Actually, the full cast is good. Comics fans will be disappointed that main players Abe Sapien and Liz Sherman aren't in this at all. But I credit the creators for trying to separate this from the original films. Hellboy's new partners in crime Alice Monaghan (Sasha Lane) and Major Ben Daimio (Daniel Dae KIm) are pretty likable. (Though I admit that Alice doesn't have much of a story arc and reason to hang around other than to repay a debt to Hellboy.) Ian McShane's Professor Broom, Hellboy's tough love foster father, is a real change of pace from the scholarly figure from the comics and other films, but it's fun to see the actor chew the scenery.

The best thing I can compare this to is the Constantine movie with Keanu Reeves. It's not a perfect product in the grand scheme, but there's enough fun individual parts that I was pleased. (FYI, be sure to stay through the credits.)… Expand

Of course, if you're a longtime fan of the comics, I imagine, like me, you were wondering why some of the changes were made, but that doesn't make the movie bad. The first three quarters were excellent. The final act was a bit hokey, but that's a problem with almost all comic book movies. The post credit sequences were fantastic, but it's a shame that the projected box office means were not likely to see the fruits of that final end credits sequence play out.… Expand

Flaming swords. And an awesome metal/rock soundtrack. I wasn't bored once while watching Hellboy. This was, by far, one of the most enjoyable, epic, dark fantasy adventures brought to film that I've ever seen. Milla Jovovich was amazing. David Harbour was amazing. Daniel Dae Kim was amazing. Sasha Lane was amazing. You had a guy who transforms into a were-leopard and a girl who can punch the souls right outta the dead. There were elements of Evil Dead, Ghost Busters, and creature feature horror. This movie was so fun to watch that I will be buying it on blu ray. The story is a simple origin story, laying the groundwork for the ongoing plot surrounding Hellboy and his connection to the impending apocalypse. It also litters foreshadowing to events that will occur in a sequel while giving nods to events that have already happened in the comic. I hope it has a sequel in the future.

Critics have tanked this film's ratings out of misplaced camaraderie toward Perlman and del Toro. The actual quality of this film is very high. If del Toro's name was slapped on this production, I guarantee it would be given rave reviews.… Expand
