Hellboy - Movie Review

[@simplebidnessman]

I feel bad for David Harbour. Ron Perlman as Hellboy is like Hugh Jackman as Wolverine or RDJ as Iron Man. They were just born for those roles.

[@itswrongtokillanimalsifyou2837]

I haven't read the comic, but for my money David Harbour's range and comedic delivery is better than Perlman's. I could see David doing what Ron did, but I can't see the opposite. His acting in this 2019 version is nothing short of brilliant. What's more, I believe time will redeem this whole movie. It's well-paced, light-hearted and has a high frequency of jokes that work (often expertly delivered by the lead). It's not even a heavily script-dependent type of movie, and while the music doesn't strike one as being superlative, it isn't attention-grabbingly poor either. Different strokes, I guess...

[@JayKayEllEmm]

Short of actually missing an arm, Ron Perlman WAS Hellboy.

I entirely agree with you: Del Toro should have ended the trilogy. Now we have a wonderful unended story and a new messy one.

[@jokarpinski22]

They could've very easily soft-rebooted by reintroducing new fans as both HB1 and HB2 are kind of like Ghostbusters 1 & 2 in that you don't need to see the previous one to enjoy the universe. They have sort of re-origin stories of sorts at the beginnings of them.

[@wildesthog]

I don't really understand why people are saying that Hellboy 1 and 2 are unfinished? I mean at the end of the second movie the heroes stop apocallypse for the 2nd time, they abandone the agency and we find out Liz is pregnant with twins, happy end. Why do people feel it needed any continuation? Do we really need to watch what are Hellboy and Liz like as parents? What other family crisis they need to overcome while batteling other evil? I would not buy a ticket for that movie. I'm personally more happy with the reboot.

[@cassiohenrique6815]

The thing about the original Hellboys is they were already pretty creepy and GORY because of the vision of Guerillmo Del Toro.

[@shukis17]

I enjoyed it I honestly don't think it's as bad as people think. They told a completely different story with all entirely new characters, they actually expanded on Hellboy's parents which didn't know about. All the characters were great, truly wish was saw more of The Lobster. My only complaint was it was several stories crammed into one film, probably better as a tv series, and the gore was a bit too much. The distinct difference between Del Torro's Hellboy and this is in Del Torro's there is only a little blood and it's very magical in this Hellboy it's more of a Horror/ Comedy and the gore is everywhere (which I don't think is a bad thing I think that is the true way it was intended in the comics). That being said I fucking loved the Pig Character, great pratical effects/cgi along with a great voice actor: Tommy from Snatch.

I personally enjoyed the film a lot. Before I went into my screening I decided to leave my concerns at the door and not take it quite so seriously. So I ended up having a blast from beginning to end. I thought some of the song choices hit the spot very well, for example Kickstart My Heart in the closing scene of the film. I thought that was a brilliant choice, and apparently so did the guys in the row in front of me who were going nuts for it. Everyone is going to take something different away from this and, while some parts of this film were very jarring and some of the jokes didn't quite land, Harbour's performance seems to be the common ground people can agree on here. He was brilliant and deserved a better script. The older movies remain my favourite, but I enjoyed this a ton and I would go see it again!

F/S RELATIONSHIP - In the original there was little interaction between Hellboy and his father. Broom spent most of the movie avoiding him because he didnt want hellboy to know he was close to death. In the reboot there is a real connection and closeness as there should be between father and son. They also showed Hellboy was still young and impulsive, and conflicted between which side he belongs on, still a rebellious teen and still has some growing to do like they did with the thor movies.He matured more in each film. Broom both introduces, and greets Hellboy as his son on more than one occasion, and if you couldnt see them together, only hear them talk to each other you probably wouldnt hear any hint that you were listening to a human man speaking to his demon son. I was adopted before I could walk, my parents are the world to me. If you couldnt see us only hear talking you'd never know I was a different race. So seeing there bond throughout the film I was something I could really relate to.

Always love your reviews, Chris. Btw, your Dragonball T-Shirt's really cool.

[@Skrilltrap]

I really enjoyed the movie. The CGI is pretty good, amazing makeup, and it gets right to the action. C+

[@umachan9286]

Good call on "Dog Soldiers". It's a criminally underrated werewolf movie.

[@TheBull14597]

i didnt take it seriously and loved it!!!

[@ida2300]

yeah i'd have to agree with you. I loved the fact that it was R rated and didnt try to be pc, but at the same time the plot was really lacking depth. I didnt care for any of the characters and i didnt care for the end plot. it had potential, but just felt kinda lack luster. i'd be cool if it was a series instead i feel. It was a decent movie that i could enjoy and sit through its intirety, but i'll probs forget about it in some time which is a pity

Why will you never see Hellboy in an Armani suit? Because the Devil Wears Prada.

I think this is a great example of how Robert Rodriguez should be given a second chance and be given upcoming action movies for he has truly shown himself to make a great badass Pg13 films

[@Wolfienator2]

Honestly I've caught up with movies from this spring I hadn't checked in theaters... Because I trusted Chris when he said they weren't good. So I caught up Hellboy, Dark Phoenix and Aladdin. And it is definitely true that neither are good movies. I found X men somewhat well shot and well acted, but it failed to have a clenched story. Aladdin was exactly what he said : a weird looking cartoon with real people in it... But Hellboy... Nah. It's not "just a gory movie with a bad script". It really is horrendous. I wanted to stop the movie after 5 minutes. It's not cohesive, I lie David Harbour and he has a great voice but damn! His lines were ALL terrible. When he was supposed to be funny, it felt completely out of left field and not what a person would say. Like if one liners were a magic wand you just had to wave for the movie to be funny. The editing is really bad too. Scenes where people are talking (basically Ian McShane being Exposition guy) are shit and edited as if it was competing with the phantom menace for the most boring exposition scenes ever, and the action felt sloppy, at times you could even see what was happening. Sometimes it was because it was dark, sometimes dusty, sometimes just because the director would chose not to show you the action... A lot of quick cuts and a bit of shaky cam too. I could go on and on, but really, and I'm not overselling Aladdin at all, I found that movie very bland too, but if Aladdin is a C-, Hellboy is an F.

[@Danilego]

About time you reviewed the first 2 Hellboy movies!

[@yorade1]

I enjoyed it, it wasn't great but it was definitely closer to the comics.

[@fubecafy]

First off, despite the problems with the acting, directing, special effects, dialogue, tone, soundtrack, and plot in general, this movie is amazing - absolute gold. I watched it 3 times in two days (no lie). This movie is so good that it required a prologue and THREE first acts - the story doesn't even start until minute ~40. Top shelf stuff, instant classic. Secondly, this movie is basically The Kid Who Would Be King but with blood (spoilers ahead): 1.) The hero is an unknowing descendant of King Arthur 2.) The antagonist is a witch who struggles to get her full power back 3.) The witch employs monsters to attack the hero 4.) The witch has more power at night 5.) The hero gathers a small number of friends to help defeat the witch 6.) Initially the hero and some of his "friends" don't get along, but learn to trust each other by the end 7.) Merlin is present, but not at his full power, and only somewhat helpful 8.) The hero can only defeat the witch by using Excalibur The Kid Who Would Be King = Hellboy 2019 = Cinema Gold

[@georgeleinberger8670]

I agree, you have to wonder if this movie preceded the Del Toro films, would people be bitching about the sappy love story, weak villains, and Barry Manilow?

[@anjuleusy3810]

I own a complete copy of the Hellboy comic series and have read it from beginning to end. Outside of one or two overarching plots, much of the comic is rather episodic. Staying true to the source material, the 2019 reboot is following these disjointed plots, often jumping from action scene to another without much character development. The start of the film's opening was unnecessarily edited to oblivion (What for?!). In the deleted scenes, the opening was far more cohesive and didn't need extra narration to explain what was happening. One actor's abilities cannot bandage the many issues with this film. I certainly would have preferred the third installment with Del Toro and Perlman over this train wreck.

[@lucasarnold6783]

Would love to see you review "The Descent" by Neil Marshall. And/Or perhaps it's sequel too. 😊

[@dylanthrillmour866]

Worst part is that Mignola expresses more support for this mess than the originals.

[@crapstirrer]

He lied when he promised this would be closer to the comics.

[@kelkora]

Neil Marshall also directed a lot of the big action episodes of Game of Thrones. Man knows his stuff. Problem seems to be that Producers think that being creative is easy and they can do even better than others. They are wrong

I liked Hellboy, but the violence was a bit ridiculous. I did have fun with it though and wouldn't mind seeing a sequel, even though I'm sure it won't be getting one. Harbour was great in his role and his makeup was on point. VFX were hit or miss but I think they accomplished a lot for whatever the budget was, which I'm assuming wasn't gigantic.

- What special about hellboy? - Superstrong right arm - what did he do with his right arm in the movie? - Nothing He even lifted the giant sword with his left arm. They made the right arm so heavy the actor can't even move it freely.

Pros and cons of the 2019 Hellboy movie: 1. The monster make-up and designs. 2. The performances of David Harbour and Ian McShane. 3. The rock music in the background. Cons: 1. The CGI. 2. The acting. 3. Tries way too hard to be epic and Rated R. 4. No Guillermo del Toro. 5. No Ron Perlman. 6. Rips off previous superhero films and the first Hellboy movie. 7. The villains. 8. Daniel Dae Kim's character.

[@nickmcdaniel6071]

Just saw. Probably not my favorite movie this year, but still worth watching. The plot does seem to go back and forth really often so it can be confusing to keep up with exactly what is happening.

[@darkshadow5035]

I hated the movie.

[@Road_to_Dawn]

darkshadow5035 Sorry to hear that.

[@noelkorf5018]

What plot? Lots of stuff going on. But no real plot. Just retelling what was already told in the first two films (badly) then a bunch of other stuff smushed together.

[@GodlyEddy]

The problem your describing is the pacing of the movie, which I saw and agree, I disliked it personally. Very bad job done. Atleast michael bay gets the explosions right and the story telling is abysmal, but this movie failed in both action scenes and story telling, lmao.

[@sammylane21]

Guillermo Del Toro created high expectations to his beautifully created world. It's like someone playing Maestro in an Orchestra playing Beethoven or Mozart, just because you can drive an Orchestra to play the master pieces of classical music doesn't put you on their level.

[@DravicPL]

Dude I just watched Hellboy (2004) after I watched Hellboy (2019) this weekend and to be honest, I like the new one better. The nostalgia effect is playing with your memories, this movie aged really poorly in many respects. Hellboy (2004) wasn't bad, mind you, but neither is Hellboy (2019). The script in Hellboy (2004) is pretty much even worse than the script from Hellboy (2019), I mean really? How the fuck did Samael travel all the way to Russia and how come he didn't overrun the world on his way there? WTH was that plot about. And that stupid ass Liz x Myers x Hellboy triangle was a cringefest considering that there was no chemistry between any of them. Rasputin showing up everywhere out of thin air, but he's immaterial, until the last scene where he suddenly gets killed with one physical hit. And just as he dies, conveniently a big fucking monster that nobody heard about prior to that scene comes out of his body. What the fuck. I'll be honest, re-watch Hellboy (2004), people, before you bash Hellboy (2019) on the premise of nostalgia feels. Hellboy (2019) has its flaws but being worse than Hellboy (2004) ain't it.
