The Humor never hits and all their characters are uninteresting including Hellboy and the main antagonist all the while the story and how its told is very messy that said for the most part I enjoyed the Gore and effects

If you want some gore-full and lightweight action, don't miss this movie by any chance.

Hellboy: Welcomed or Rebuffed?

Here we go again! This week we have Hellboy and what a doozy this was. Let’s begin with this film having a hard time being made in the first place. Stories of it initially being a sequel to the original installments fell through and led to this reboot. Either way, the movie was completed and off to the theaters people go. DO NOT EXPECT THIS TO BE ANYTHING LIKE THE FIRST TWO MOVIES. DEFINITELY R-RATED.

Let’s start with the good. Visually, at times, the monsters and demons displayed were absolutely amazing. Sickening but amazing. Truly creative and sick minds brought the words of the graphic novel to life. If anything saves this movie, that is it. These creatures are very cool and I would say pretty awesome to see on a big screen. This movie also plays better/closer to a horror/gore movie than the first installments. There are a couple good action sequences. I can see how people will enjoy that. HOWEVER…

It’s time for the bad and the ugly. Granted I never read the graphic novels, this movie’s plot was the definition of discombobulated. The team that produced this throw everything, except the holy bible, at this movie. The producers of this movie are presumptuous that all viewers have full knowledge of Hellboy, and that isn’t the case. The writing, was pretty awful and didn’t help make anything better. This movie has you learning five different storylines that weren’t really that important to give you minor details that don’t really affect the larger story, in this particular movie. They seem to be setting up a second next movie that in my estimation may never come. Hellboy (the character) doesn’t look that great (visually) and not as relatable or fun as the first installment. The other main characters are also weak, at best.

With, that said Hellboy graphic novel fans… this movie isn’t great but I can definitely understand you all wanting to see this and the creatures created… at best do a matinee. EVERYONE ELSE, wait for this to be on Netflix and save your duckets. It would be cool to see the creatures on the big screen but not worth the money or time. Just check it out for free at home.

While I did enjoy Hellboy 2019 more than I expected, it failed to leave any lasting impression... The editing and direction result in a film tone that flitters between horror,action,fantasy,comedy drama in such a way as to deliver an odd pacing that doesn't ever feel 'good enough'. Worth a peek if you have any interest in this kind of genre blend. Beware of the randomly intense and quite graphic gore sequences!

It's a fun enough movie, makes nods to the original pair in the right places to show it followed the comics enough for a casual fan like me as well. It also has better characters frankly, the pathetic agent and Hellboy fighting over the awful emo pyromancer and a bunch of comic relief crap piled on top. Abe and the Professor were good at least to support Pearlman. I really enjoyed the original film, the sequel was alright enough but more of a love letter to del Toro s ability to create monsters than it was a story in my opinion, and will still happily watch them every few years. That said I would like to see a continuation of this version as I liked where the teasers suggested it was going, though I would concede that the villain it suggests doesn't need a rehash. Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. TL;DR - Give it a pass and re-watch del Toro's version once more if you have and instead if you haven't.

After the reveals of the production issues this movie went through it is not surprising to see the movie dwindle in quality from minute one to the climax. Setting aside my love for del Toro and Ron Pearlman, I really do like David Harbour as an actor and as Hellboy as well. The first half of the movie got me in as the secret clans plotting, Prof Broom-Hellboy's interactions and the Foul Mouthed yet terrifying if you ever seen one Pig Creature back story were all pretty interesting.

What I did not like is the train wreck of the writing and a lot of what seemed like editing issues as I felt many scenes just ended abruptly, this really put me on edge as it kept increasing through out the film. Some plot points also started going in weird directions like King Arthur's Blood line/Hell Boy's Half Human Heritage and Excalibur's importance, though I am not sure whether this is cannon accurate; it just seemed to come out of no where.

The CGI was decent and I didn't see any problematic eyesore CGI through out, with one absolute stand out of Hellboy with the flaming sword riding the Dragon; I wish that was a more fleshed out scene than just a vision as that was spectacular.

I always liked Milla Jovovich because she is pretty and I have a special so bad it's good place in my heart for the earlier few Resident Evil Movies. Similarly she did a decent job, here as an over the top Vampy villainess Witch. The Creature effects also were well done for the most part, Baba Yaga's Home was a particular standout. Weirdest possession I have ever seen though; if they were going for a gross out creepy vibe they hit the nail for Alice's Spirit Possessions.

But sadly all in all the whole thing put together was a mismatched puzzle at best, or a painting that the longer you look at the more you start seeing glaring issues that take away from being as glorious it should be.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The reboot of Hellboy is the first time this year that I seriously started questioning my own judgement. Directed and written by two guys who have virtually no credits to their name and abandoned by the visionary, Guillermo del Toro, who made it possible in the first place, it’s hard for me to recreate the headspace I must have been in not just to walk into this movie but to have reserved seats for this film weeks ahead of time like a little **** Daniel Dae Kim is in this though man, David Harbour–you love that dude from Stranger Things–Milla Jovovich hasn’t aged a day, **** Odin is in this **** man, I must have said to myself before a truly mirthless two hours of exposition.

It’s hard to imagine now that we’re on the eve of possibly the biggest opening for a Marvel movie ever, there was a time when this was a big priority for me, but pickings were slim and we were undaunted by the 9-12% rotten rating it was receiving ahead of its wide release.

There are aspects of the film that even with the distance of two weeks I still find baffling. Like, why did the trailer place so much emphasis on a throwaway scene in the last two minutes of the actual movie? And, is that brilliant or confoundingly stupid? Why did the father-son conversation have to happen when Prof Broom was dead through a medium who inflates her organs into balloon people? Why was the Merlin scene essential at all? Did he need to come back only to shout at Hellboy for failing? And what reward did the witches who are holding that twig crown in that first Arthurian scene receive that’s so worth betraying Nimue? Because they seem to be skulking around real quiet-like with very little to show for by the time of contemporary events.

I’m left a little bit mad at myself for not having seen Missing Link or stayed home and flossed.

Now, I’m not a huge fan of the original Guillermo Del Toro Hellboy movies, I’ve only seen the first one, but I really like it. It’s action-packed, it has great effects, it has fun characters and it’s just a good movie. The 2019 remake is not a good movie. Like, it’s not the worst comic book movie ever made, not by a long shot, but it just has an overall feeling of cheapness. Some of the action was okay and I like the design of some of the characters but that’s about it as far as good things about this movie go. The story makes no sense, the characters are all boring and unlikeable and the effects are AWFUL!!!!!!! The prosthetics are okay, Hellboy looks fine (Except for the tail. It just hangs there and does nothing.) and I really liked this witch monster that shows up halfway through, but the CGI is some of the worst I’ve ever seen for a movie this recent. It looks like it’s from the early 2000s, not 2019! It reminds me of Van Helsing or Underworld or Resident Evil. Remember those? It’s just terrible! It also reminded me of Deadpool with all the violence and one-liners and it rips off the title cards that show the names of locations from the MCU movies. Clearly this movie is not as good as those. There are some good kills with lots of blood and guts in this movie and some wild monsters that show up that are actually kinda cool, but it’s all CGI so I have to take points off for that. The music was also kinda distracting. Overall, there’s just not much I have to say about this movie. It’s bad, but I didn’t hate it. If you just want to watch schlock, this isn’t a bad choice. I actually think it’s a little better than Venom. If you actually want a good movie, however, stick with the Del Toro films. Expand

OnlyNot particularly fan of the first established franchise, I've came open-minded to this new version and well... I've first seen it on original English language and was thinking this is the perfect example of what is an unnecessary reboot! Only that at least David Harbour is a pretty good Hellboy as Ron Perlman was and the gore effects was really enjoyable. Then I've finally seen it again dubbed in Canadian French, and this time I found it very funny! I must admit that's barely not the same movie than the original version. The voice acting are just awesome, particularly about Hellboy himself, the very gross and vulgar display of dialogues are just funny as hell. That's the first time I have a feeling like this after watching the Canadian French version instead of the original since Bad Santa. Of course the CGI are still very cheap, Jovovich's acting was still damn awful even in an other language and the final result does not looks like a film directed by Neil Marshall regarding The Descent or Doomsday. So if you're planning to watch the film in original English language this will possibly be disappointing, but if you're planning to watch the Canadian French version it's really well worth the watch!

Nearly every minute has a punchline that no one in my theater would laugh at, which is just excruciating to sit through. David Harbour is far from bad in the role but his version of Hellboy leaves so much to be desired. Like every other character in the film, Hellboy gives us no reason to care about him. What makes this film watchable are the unique creature designs and some of the action sequences/violence. All the rest ranges from forgettable to terrible.

SeeingSo I really hate to have to say it, but I got to. This film is PURE trash. Between the ugly visual effects for Hellboy himself (he looks just god awful) and the non-stop over-the-top gore I can find nothing to like in this movie. Seeing this after watching the first movie over again did not help, because the comparison is just overwhelmingly in favor of the first.
Where do I start? Well I can begin by saying that they really never gave Hellboy a character in this movie. Throughout the entire thing he was either sarcastic, whiny, brooding, or just not very funny, but trying to be funny. He was never developed throughout the entire film, he just kind of was there. Things happened TO him but he never really did anything special, even in the end external forces were required for his choices to actually be made.
The over-the-top gore was just pathetic. The cartoonish fight scenes were just that, cartoonish. The original movie had fights, yes and they were unrealistic as hell, but they were not cartoonish (compare the fight between the giants in this film and Hellboy with his fight against the giant plant monster in the second film or Sammael in the first). The gore was just unnecessary filler to make people react to gore, it served no purpose.
The greatet thing about the comic and the first film was its mixture of the occult, myth, legend, stories, and real life. In this film they just seemed to throw around references to myths and legends to fill gaps in the plot. Baba Yaga? Sure lets add that. Excalibur, why not. Hell why not add in some Alice in Wonderland and Chupacabra crap as well. It had no direction, the subtlety of it was lost on this film. Everything was just spelled out and poorly.
This film is terrible. God can only hope it will never get a sequel. If you are a fan of Hellboy stick to the comics, the original movies, and even the animated cartoons. This film is just trash.

The story is recycling the origin story with some variants. The actors are fine in the movie, and surely a good aspect of the movie. Harbour doesn't have the same charisma and it's partially because his lines feel generic and with less humor. The action is very unequal, and tends more toward horror style than fantasy. Which I think is a mistake. The FX aren't on the top level here. Some composite effects are too apparent. The CGI of the creatures isn't always great. In that area, the movie is a complete failure to the previous movies. The music is fine. The audio is more than decent. I give it 48%. They should have continued with an original third film (even with the actors changing). Expand

I had wanted to get it out of my mind but no luck, it is just THAT BAD!! I rarely write reviews, but read them a lot for movies I'm on the fence with for a theater trip. I was pretty excited about another HELL BOY movie, first two were good and unique. Ron Perlman made Hell Boy, is Hell Boy. I like him in Stranger Things but this new actor was horrid as Hell Boy, Milla was the WORST villan I have seen in a movie in years, MANY years! I kept wanting to leave the theater but I kept falling asleep. Just having the painful memory of this movie pop back in my mind today made me want to come here, create an account and make sure to give this garbage heep of a movie the review it deserves.....-3....but the scale only goes to ZERO. Stay away from this movie, don't rent it and if you watch it for free in the future, you will still be angry for losing 2 hours of your life to this MESS!

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I am starting off by saying, I do like the movie, the originals, and the comics. The new Hellboy is not the best movie, but I thought it was a good one. At points it was good and at some points it was mildly irritating, and that goes the same as the original it was good and at points it was mildly irritating, but I still like them both. I like both versions of the character, but I like harbour's a bit more because of how grittier and darker it was compared to the original. To me the new Hellboy was a great add-on to the whole Hellboy franchise, even if it had some flaws. The flaws are noticeable, like the soundtrack is a little bit loopy and repeating, some CGI is out there, some character depth is a little shallow (like Nimue), and some of the jokes are little stale. But it is still a good movie at points, like baba yaga's character design and parts in the movie, the demons at the end killing people, the idea of him being a descendant of king Arthur, him wielding Excalibur, his horns are a bit cooler because of the more ruff edges and more gritty look to them instead of flat and shiny like the original, the scenes where dead people talk through the help of Alice, and I personally liked the giant fight scene. Even though it didnt have the help of del Toro and the original cast, it was still good. I don't compare the two, they are totally seperate even though they have the hellboy name. So if you absolutly love the original hellboy and wont open your mind to a different one then don't watch it, but if you're willing to not compare the two and just watch it for how it is then go ahead.

This is the story of Hellboy and his father running a sort of Men in Black assassinate all monster Enterprise. There are lots of special effects. Back-to-back-to-back. Lots of monsters. Unfortunately, a lot of them look like Muppets. Which is not scary. It's also not funny. There's lots of decapitations, stabbings and Gore. But none of it is very interesting. There's a scene between Hellboy and his father where he talks about wanting humans and monsters to live together in peace. It's probably the most real moment in the movie. And it lasts about 30 seconds. Is that had been the focal point of the movie, nobody would notice Milla Jovovich and her subpar acting or the bad dialogue. Here's hoping for yet another reboot Expand

The low budget results in some poor looking CG, which is primarily used during fight scenes, and some awful looking makeup (Seriously who approved of this design for the new Hellboy? You need to get slapped). The acting is OK and it does feature a solid cast but that means little when they don't have the quality script to make use of them. The weak one-liners and needless cursing throughout make it seem like this movie was written by teenagers and not proper script writers. And let me make one thing clear: Ron Perlman is Hellboy. David Harbour doesn't even compare to the OG.

And as for why this film is such a commercial and critical flop? The studio decided to throw away Guillermo del Toro, who is simply untouchable as a director, in order to try to make a low-budget piece of garbage to capitalize on the want of a new Hellboy film. Yes, Fans wanted a new Hellboy film but one done by del Toro featuring Perlman, Not a reboot. Thankfully, The die-hard fans stepped up with a boycott and chose not to support this trash, resulting in it being a box office bomb. Maybe next time they'll listen to what fans want rather than trying to give them what they don't want.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Okay, we had two Hellboy movies directed by Guillermo del Toro, one from 2004 and the Golden Army in 2008 starring Ron Perlman as Hellboy. Unfortunately, I didn't watch the whole two films, but some clips because I didn't have much time. The two movies were praised by critics a lot and the first one was rated 81%, the sequel was rated 86% on Rotten Tomatoes. And then, in 2019, Neil Marshall decided to have this reboot of Hellboy. They wanted to prove that Hellboy should be more modern with good effects and cinematography. But they had also gone too far.

Starring David Harbour was Hellboy, in this reboot, Hellboy had to battle so many monsters. Monsters here and there. There was so much action, these people wanted to make better cinematography so audiences would think that these battles are epic and unforgettable. The performances, I think they're okay but sometimes they sucked. Harbour's performance was really good, he's funny. He made most parts of the movie looked like a joke and kinda like a parody (because the cinematography's better).

I like the humor they added here. I did laugh, especially the elevator scene (up down up down). But Harbour wasn't as good as Perlman's. Then I like the make-up of Hellboy here more than the two previous films. Hellboy was more good-looking here (with long hair and small eyes). Those're the things I only liked about this reboot.

The special effects were really bad. They created monsters filmmakers could do in the 80s like the Gruagach or when Ben Daimio turned into a jaguar. They could've used an animal and add some extra parts. They could've done better in here. The editing was really not cool. This was like a few terrible movies wanted to have good cinematography but had bad CGI like Fant4stick (Congratulations Fant4stick on going way too far and got in the Razzies!). The cinematography was really awesome and if you watch this in IMAX, you would be entertained a lot. I watched the trailer in IMAX thanks to IMDb. I liked the lightning and the sky.

The fact that this movie was rated R was a BIG mistake. They did drop some F-Bombs everywhere, even when it's unneccessary to say the F word in a few lines. They also had some "Strong and Bloody Violence" (I could see these words in the trailer) like in "Deadpool" or "Logan", but they were needless. There were also people being ripped in half, people being stabbed bloodily by the giant monsters. Are they trying to prevent this movie from children? Huh? What? The movie proved that not all R-Rated movies're for adults and 18-year-olds. I'm younger than that and I could watch it with ease. I'm not afraid of anything. Are they trying to copy Sam Raimi's horror movies?

I really didn't know why this movie was based on the legend of King Arthur and the Excalibur sword. It was not suitable. If it is, I should've read the comics. I really didn't like the idea. They turned this whole action thingy into a fantasy like in "The Kid who Would Be King" was released earlier this year and I kinda liked it. Another problem was that they set too many characters in here. Too many actions scene from lots of characters fighting and they also moved from places to places (just like nomads).

This reboot was unneccessary to make. It was soulless but enjoyable. This was one of the movies that were really bad with black bars, good cinematography and sometimes bad CGI like "Fant4stick" or "Suicide Squad". If you find this Hellboy reboot entertaining, then I suggest you to waste 2 hours to watch it.

Let me just say I have never seen the original two Hellboy films, so this review is coming from a person who doesn’t have the first two films to compare this to. To be honest, I was pumped for this film. But then the Rotten Tomatoes scoreLet me just say I have never seen the original two Hellboy films, so this review is coming from a person who doesn’t have the first two films to compare this to. To be honest, I was pumped for this film. But then the Rotten Tomatoes score came out...then I was less pumped, but still pumped. Then I saw the movie...well...

...It was better than I was expecting. But by all means this isn’t a good movie. In fact, it was one step away from being terrible. But it wasn’t quite atrain wreck, let me tell you why. This movie was really entertaining. On the entertainment scale, it’s super high. Probably late 70’s to early 80’s. The acting is pretty perfect. I don’t have a lot of complaints other then Milla Jovovich’s performance was bland and uninspired. Although it took some time for me to get used to David Harbour. Even after I was used to him I still was a little meh on his performance. And this could be a complaint or a positive. It depends on how you feel about it. But this film is messy. I mean messy. This is messier than Venom. And yeah, Venom was messy. But this film is messy in a fun way if you get what I mean. It’s not so messy you notice it one hundred percent. Now that’s pretty much where the positives end. I’m still gonna say the messiness is a minor complaint. But the real problem is the writing. Bad writing for both the characters and the film. They try to cram so much in here that the whole movie just gets lost. It doesn’t know what it wants to be. It’s cheesy, but it’s serious. It’s faithful to the comics, but some elements of the comics are just glossed over. (I haven’t read the comics, I watched YouTube videos. Expand

The script is a mess. The direction is cheap and simplistic to the core, while the narrative and rhythm are pretty bad. The special effects are very inconsistent and the film's length feels excessive and that's partly because the story never feels right.
David Harbour tried but he's not even the shadow of what Ron Perlman did and the rest of the cast is as disposable as it is useless.

A failure with capital letters and undoubtedly one of the biggest failures of 2019

So leave your brain at home, get your massive bucket of popcorn and coke, sit back and enjoy this entertaining rubbish. 

Open with a huge exposition piece narrated by Ian McShane, King Arthur uses Excalibur to destroy The Blood Queen, Nimue (Milla Jovovich) and scatter her body across the corners of the land so she doesn't come back and unleash a deadly virus that will destroy mankind. Fast forward to modern-day and Hellboy (David Harbour) is working with the B.P.R.D. to make sure Nimue isn't pieced back together by a hog like beast and take her revenge. Maybe early on the development of this adaptation of Hellboy they realised it was going to be terrible and decided to go full on with everything. The violence is ramped up to the max, the script is hilariously terrible. There's only one sequence that really worked for me, featuring a grotesque witch Baba Yaga, this scene shifts the tone of the whole film away from cartoonish comic book violence to dark and horrifying and then moments later Hellboy is back with the fairies and all other madness.

I'll give it one thing, I was never bored. But don't get me wrong, this Hellboy remake is awful, it could not be more of a mess but despite that I was still entertained. What it lacks in almost everything, it makes up for in pure violent enjoyment. I was part of the group that wanted one more Hellboy movie from Guillermo del Toro and Ron Perlman, just one more, finish the story and then reboot the whole thing. Well that didn't happen and the whole thing has been remade because that's all that ever happens now and the result is interesting to say the least. I feel Hellboy was always going to suffer without del Toro but with new director Neil Marshall who has made Dog Soldiers and The Descent I thought hey maybe this guy knows what he's doing. I'm not quite sure who to blame, him or the writer, it's someones fault so one of you has to take the blame. I've never read the Hellboy comics but from I've heard this film does them no justice. Which is a real shame because I love the idea of Hellboy, I loved the first adaptation by del Toro the second one not so much yet they're both better films than this remake. David Harbour is as good as Ron Perlman, I wasn't ready for the role to be recast but honestly they could not have gotten anyone better. Harbour does a great job, unfortunately the rest of the film doesn't live up to that standard. Recommended for those who want a movie so bad it's good, just make sure to go to it with low expectations and an open mind.
