@@SWDude2710 Frankly MCU's humor was well done in Phase 1. After that it all their movies became cheesy sitcom type humor with set up, punchline, set up, punchline etc. throughout. And then the humor's generic or "dad jokes" instead of witty or clever like Iron Man 1 and The Incredible Hulk.

[@SWDude2710]

@@kendallrivers1119 I can agree with that, though I do feel the Ant Man films, Thor 3 and the Gotg films are by far some of the funniest films the MCU has made in recent times, and I think the comedy works very well with them. The Captain America Films are still quite serious and grounded in their own way, and the humour isn't as major in them tbf. Even if people nowadays are a bit divided on the comedy in general, least the MCU also doesn't rely on dirty humour, like the live action transformers series has done, as well!

Ron Perlman is such an underrated actor. He brought the same thing to Hellboy that RDJ brought to Iron Man. Pulling an anti-hero from comic obscurity to a mainstream hit purely from the natural charisma of the actor. The new Hellboy glaringly shows how important Perlman was to those movies.

Bjarni Árnason - Same, but Mike, who writes the comics, says the studio would never go through with what the story was supposed to be, to conclude the trilogy. I won't say what was gonna happen as I don't want to spoil it for anyone. No matter how good Harbour is, & I hear test screenings have NOT been good, he cannot live up to the original. Look at Pearlman, no offence to the guy, but he was born to play the part. Did any of you see him get in full make up for a kids make a wish?! That was real nice. EDIT: Also, no del Toro. He is the master of the weird & monsters, look st Pacific Rim, Shape of Water, etc - without him it will not be the same.

@@frenne_dilley I really loved the originals, and waited years to see what would come of if we were going to get the third film, literally would check annually. After a while I figured it's too late honestly, Ron's too old now to give us solid actions scenes without hurting himself. I'm still bitter about it too because it's so clearly unfinished, but this new Hellboy is still definitely a 6.5 out of 10. It's a good fun entertaining movie. Not as good as the originals, but still good. I'd say watch it, my wife and I enjoyed it quite a bit and even though there's a stark difference between the two portrayals, the new one isn't all that bad, still pretty close to the comic book iteration.

Hollywood KNOWS how to screw up a good thing

[@AtomicF0x]

The original Hellboy movies had such balance. The dynamics between the main characters were charming and believable. -John Hurt as Hellboy's adoptive father was so sagely and magical in his demeanor. The creators of the comic book even say that his portrayal of Bruttenholm was "uncanny". As if he were the original inspiration for the character in the first place. -Selma Blair is so hot as Liz (lol no pun intended) and she really sells me with her character's tortured past. Her interactions between two entirely different men like Hellboy and Myers is both comedic and touching. -Abe's character, brought so wonderfully to fruition by both Doug Jones and David Pierce is a precise, intellectual foil to Hellboy's rough and tumble approaches (I also like how their nicknames are simply 'Red' and 'Blue' when on missions together). -Jeffrey Tambor is great and pretty funny as Manning even though his character tries to look tough in front of Hellboy. -Rupert Evans as Myers does a wonderful job of showing us just how different and how much more powerful Hellboy is compared to an everyman character. -Ron Perlman, the man of the hour, the solid rock foundation of the film, fits so sublimely as Hellboy that it's almost funny. There's no silly accents or gimmick traits to try and make us love his character more than we already do. He makes you feel like Hellboy is real. He's so grounded despite his fantastical nature and origin. All the better to have us latch onto him and every charisma-dripping word of his.

[@thejon93rd]

If Hellboy II didn't come out literally right before The Dark Knight in 2008, it would have been a bigger hit and we would have already had a third film made by this point. I didn't particularly love The Golden Army, I'd still give it a solid 3 out of 5, but I loved that first Hellboy film. The sequel was lacking John Hurt (apart from the intro; which was great, minus the odd look to young Hellboy) and Rupert Evans (who was essentially the heart of the original film). Still, I believe Perlman's right with saying that this third film would have been something truly special and a great way to cap-off this franchise. Such a shame they had to go and reboot it instead (somehow I imagine this reboot not turning out so well at the box-office, no matter how well/poorly received it is, because I don't think audiences are going to take too well to a different actor playing Hellboy when they've invested so much into Perlman, who could have clearly still played him).

If that's the case, they probably won't even bother seeing this remake and the studio's gonna wish they stuck it out with del Toro instead (especially considering his recent Oscar wins).

[@shhs1227]

[@thejon93rd]

Just because it's a "superhero" movie, doesn't mean it's automatically going to make money. I understand there's interesting source material to explore here with Hellboy as a comic-book character, but, I'm just saying, maybe people won't respond to it as well as they do for others. Not every comic-based film is gonna be a surprise hit at the box-office, such as Venom (a movie many thought would fail financially, however it has done great business for Sony instead). We'll see how this reboot does when it arrives; I'm not expecting it to be a terrible movie, let me just admit that, I just don't believe this will be a hit for the studio, unless they're REALLY pulling out all the stops to make this a film people want to see... because, right now, I don't see or believe the hype).
