They should have just let Guillermo to do hellboy 3 to complete that series, then later could have handed the series to a different director

[@c.c3180]

according to Mignola they tried that but Guillermo refused. which is also why they decided not to cast Ron as Hellboy as they thought he wouldn't want to play the character without Guillermo directing.

Imagine that would be due to the lessening of creative freedom as mentioned in the video - didn't want to direct something he couldn't be proud of and do his community love proper service

[@PlutosWorld]

He played a good parody of Hellboy, his mannerisms and personality were such a far cry from anything in the comics. This film was selling itself as being a lot more faithful to the comics, so the argument that "the film should be different to the comics" is moot.

[@korstmahler]

0:17 LMAO That guy is all "I'm going to out-walk this earthquake fissure like a-OH MY GOD A LITERAL DEMON In all seriousness, this is what happens when the VFX guy and the Director can't get the effect timing right. The guy(and others in the BG) should be freaking out over the fissure already, and then doubling the intensity of panic when the actual creature becomes visible. Instead we have a group of citizens who think nothing of a giant fault in the road racing towards them.

Wren i highly doubt they were going for this but i really believe when something like that would happen it would be so unbelievable you might just try to ignore it lol

[@wren7195]

@@TheRealAgentZero6 lol I doubt that's what they were going for too but in reality that's actually a psychological phenomenon called "Somebody Else's Problem." It happens when a person encounters something so odd and out of place that they automatically ignore it/try to ignore it, like someone in a mall dressed as Spiderman doing parkour flips to get attention gets immediately ignored by a mother and her daughter, despite the daughter pointing and wanting to see more Mom will drag her off bodily while COMPLETELY pretending Spiderman wasn't there. It really is a psychological phenomenon, and it's still being studied. Regionally, there are places where you get a ton of attention when you stand out THAT much, (the Spiderman guy in St. Cloud, Minnesota for example, everybody loves him) alongside places like here in Ohio or New York where you are forcibly invisible because you're "obviously crazy, somebody else's problem, moving along now, don't make eye-contact..."

[@TititoDeBologay]

Marshall is good, animatronix and practical, check dog soldiers. But he got done badly by the producers on this one big time.

[@ryleeguy2763]

Marshals films always have looked like this, Underworld looks like this and its old as heck now. The Decent had no lighting, but fair camera work at times,, close up shots in dim lighting. Decent still had cheep costumes where the mouth could hardly open just like Hellboy’s cant. I swear the scene where he says “how do I look” I feel like they should’ve said “like you got a bargain at Walmart.” I mean the glove I forget is there at times on Ron, but in this new one it looks like a red hulk hand.

P. R. D a crossover film, and a B. P. R. D tv series that whould tie-in the films

[@spicycaco2061]

I honestly think the Hellboy comics would lend themselves so much better to TV series over films. There's so much content in the comics it just seems like an impossible task to really adapt them. I'd love to see an animated series done with Harbor back to Voice Hellboy

[@TheReandos]

I think this movie could have really easily been fixed, if they didnt just rush it, but split it into 2 movies. The differen scenes could be extended, other characters could have better backstory, and it wouldnt feel so rushed. For example, make the first nimweh confrontation the climax of the first movie, so that we get a glimpse of her power, and kind of a cliffhanger to get us excited for the sequel. There's plenty of time to get to know the characters better, slow down the pace, ect. I do like a lot of the scenes in this movie, and I do want to like this movie :/

[@PaladinNecro23]

Idk, there’s something about when Ron pearlman plays a role it can never be the same without him

If Hellboy didn't have so many comedic scenes jammed into one, I take it seriously. A couple is good but don't saturate the movie. If the franchise was rebooted, it should have horror x thriller cinema themes. Something that puts me on the edge of my seat until the plot twist. If you do it like LOTR, you get more value out of it

I admit the the somewhat recently made movie of (HELLBOY) that came out in the year2019 wasn’t that great, in fact I wonder honestly say that it was only a really good movie to have seen, and I myself would have given it the rating of two stars plus half a star. But despite that the year2019 movie of (HELLBOY) wasn’t great, it did introduce a set of new characters, and a new aspects to the HellBoy stories that were great to have seen, and I think that most of it should be included in the hopeful next attempt (HELLBOY) movie to be made someday in the near future; An those new characters I am talking about is that of the powerful psychic young woman, and the other is the guy soldier who is a were-jaguar, and to add the creatures, monsters, & evil magic using entities that all exists in certain types of supernatural dimensional realms, and also to add the certain types of people who are good magic users.

I liked the Hellboy movies with Ron Pearlman. I haven't seen the reboot and probably won't, it sounds way too confusing by incorporating too many other characters; Merlin, Aurther, Baba Yaga etc. I had the same reaction with Hugh Jackman in Van Helsing, it wasn't just Van Helsing vs Dracula...it was everybody. Too much. But I am limited to the movies and popular culture references vs the comics, which delve into these topics much more so.
