Definitely not worth.... the hate it gets.
Sure its not some wild reimagining that will turn the franchise into a series of blockbusters but it was entertaining enough to do its job of distracting for a couple of hours.

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. 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.… Expand

Better than both of the other Hellboy films if you ask me.
Ending was not the best but what films are nowadays.

8.6/10 Already underrated beyond belief, Neil Marshall's Hellboy adaptation is a visual blast full of ballistic action, malevolent monsters, and exciting fun throughout. While I enjoyed Del Toro's excellent stylistic take on Hellboy, I have8.6/10 Already underrated beyond belief, Neil Marshall's Hellboy adaptation is a visual blast full of ballistic action, malevolent monsters, and exciting fun throughout. While I enjoyed Del Toro's excellent stylistic take on Hellboy, I have to say this is superior in following subject matter, and nails the many colorful tones of the Mignola comics better.

The story introduces us to the lovably insane Hellboy very well with an incredibly intense set of opening sequences, and immerses the viewers into his world very effectively. As things progress we get familiar with some fantastically executed origin stories that portray the comics perfectly, and it expands on so many different characters supremely. The overall story moves along well with some vibrantly brilliant creatures and ferocious fights. When everything unfolds it leads up to an epic finish full of excitement and bloodshed. Once again i have to say it followed the comics rather well and had some great personality and humor to it.

As far as the acting performances go I was thoroughly surprised by how awesome David Harbour was as Hellboy. He was absolutely hilarious and captured the character so well with a wide array of emotions shown. The makeup was also fantastic on him though I was skeptical from the trailers. Ian McShane as Trevor/Dad was excellent as well and contrary to delusional critics they had great chemistry with each other. Milla Jovovich was beautifully sinister as the blood queen and honestly I'd like to see her as the villain more.

The standout imo was the plethora of extremely detailed creatures/monsters throughout especially Baba Yaga. The sequence with her was horrifyingly marvelous. I didn't expect them to blend the paranormal/horror aspects so well but they definitely did. The gruesomeness and gore was prevalent and I thought it was fitting for the adaptation.

For a few minor nitpicks, there are some moments where the cgi is a bit shoddy but it was usually solid. You can tell when they're using practical effects and they are amazingly well done. Obviously you can't use practical effects for giant monsters so I can cut them some slack. Also the soundtrack is a bit spastic with some interesting choices that worked at times and sometimes didn't.

Overall it's a shame this was unfairly accosted which caused it to bomb massively. I would've loved to see where they went from here especially after what's teased at the end of this. Like I said,I believe this is going to go down as a very underrated film and might even develop a cult following hopefully. People don't know what they're missing out of stubbornness.… Expand

Judging from how you read myLet's just accept that the Producers of *insert movie name here* are the real baddies of the whole Production. First Avi Arad,now this… Also,whoo boy,the things you CAN'T do with an $80 Million Budget… Anywho…

Judging from how you read my reviews,you already know the gig,right? Even if a movie is horrible or not Cinema-worthy,I still try to find good things about it,even if they're so small,it won’t matter anyway. Judging from the trailers,HellBoy looked super killer and meta. The style was great,the casting choices are phenomenal,and it tries hardcore not to be a cash-in of Guillermo Del Toro's movies. (Which,ironically,both versions have directors known for the Horror and/or Supernatural material)
And after such a long wait,and the abysmal last minute Production Hell article it had post-embargo,it’s safe to say that HellBoy is not really good. Fans of the Comic Book will really dig it,since there’s almost everything from the source material,but for others,it’s going to be “Just another No-Brainer”. Because that’s what this new version of HellBoy is: suddenly,Lionsgate (and the 19 producers credited on this thing. Ouch…) has taken one of the most underrated heroes in a long time,and turned it into another Action Movie that you will have fun at,and then you’ll instantly forget what you saw (kinda like Non-Stop or the Taken franchise,and...I think A Good Day To Die Hard?),and they thought they did their job well,so here’s a post credit tease for an unlikely Sequel. But I’ll be damned if I say that I had so much fun at it BECAUSE of that. So many problems come from the Story,but most of the Technical Aspect and the R-Rating save it from being a literal Dumpster Fire.
The effects are great,but it’s too bad the quality of it is garbage,but aside from that,we get a good score by Benjamin Wallfisch that,sometimes,tries to be this weird Junkie XL Clone at times,a traditional Sound Mix that’ll be fun to hear on 4K Blu-Ray (since Lionsgate makes every movie on 4K look God-like) and the Artistic Value on this thing…
You know I’m a sucker for overdone designs of Mythical Creatures and Monsters etc,and man oh MAN,does this have great use of Makeup and Set Design. I also love some of the direction choices they made. Being directed by Neil Marshall,who is a Horror veteran for movies like The Descent,it’s easy to pinpoint several scenes nd be like “This is too grimy!”,even if it’s a random 80’s Jumpscare. (That happens…)
The beginning of the movie is really good too. Introducing you to the nightmare that is the Screenplay,while also putting the R to good use,and its brutality.
The Action scenes are really brutal,maybe more so than the recent R-Rated movies we got. (Yes,that also includes Deadpool cutting someone’s head off and using it as a Soccer Ball)
SO MUCH CARNAGE HAPPENS IN THIS MOVIE.
David Harbour as HellBoy is great. He doesn’t beat Ron Pearlman’s portrayal by ANY means possible,but this one feels more reminiscent of Deadpool,only if he was Oh So Angry and Moody all the time,and he was in a HellBoy costume.
But that’s where it all starts to cease and fall apart…
All these good things are put in service of one of the most Exposition-heavy Screenplays I’ve ever seen,beating you over the head with so much exposition and talking,not a single line feels normal or safe from being a line that is filled with past memories,predictions of the future and stuff like that… It was so annoying,but it was luckily saved by the positives I’ve mentioned.
I hate the musical choices they went for the Action sequences. Why do I need a rock beat whenever someone throws punches when I can normally hear a traditional Orchestral action movie music when that happens on screen? Because kids are dumb,that’s why. For being a pretty bad story,it’s mostly used as a symphony of Action Sequences. Not a good one at that,since sometimes it’s ruined by stutter CG Effects.
And I was kinda pissed off at how they treated two characters. Thomas Haden Church,who randomly appears in here,having one hell of a blast,and another one that I can’t spoil in here. But again,this movie is mostly fun. If you want a Superhero no-brainer before Avengers Endgame shatters the whole world,this one’s for you. If you want a coherent story on the other hand,just watch “Shazam!” again….

P.S. Great post-credit sequence you had there,movie...… Expand
