#hellboy review

Ron Perlman was absolute perfection in the early 2000s films, It made me sad there was never a third one after Golden army. But he embodied everything hellboy is in my opinion, It was perfection!

I did not like The 2019 hellboy as much but I love David harbour, David is a fantastic actor. Too much cussing for the character of hellboy in my opinion. I didn’t like the way they had him look either as much but it’s still cool.

And I was very skeptical about The crooked man, but I gave it a chance and after watching it, It was actually pretty good in my opinion, especially to be low budget.

The storyline was spectacular, I liked the writing. The actor did a very outstanding job playing hellboy and at first i didn’t necessarily think it was gonna look good but i watched the movie and it was really great.

It’s definitely one of my favorite comic book movies now, Give it a watch!

It’s not an Oscar winner. It’s not a cinematic masterpiece. But god damn is it a good time.

The critics are entitled to their opinions but, speaking from a Hellboy fan of a long time, the movie was super fun and I highly recommended seeing it.

David WAS AMAZING IN THE ROLE. Rob will always be the original but David was absolutely captivating as Red.

It deserves the audience and money because I want a sequel dammit.

So if your on the fence about Hellboy 2019. Get off the fence and hop into David’s Hellboy yard. We’re having a party. We will not disappoint.

I’m a little late to this party but oh well, still a fun time. Anyways folks, first off, I shall forever call this film, HELLBOY: Forever. 

That’s what this film felt like to me. Felt like a batman forever just with demons and alot of blood. I’m not saying this film is bad at all. I actually had a fun time watching it. 

I won’t go into too much detail, but this felt more of a dark-ish, over the top comic book world. Where del toros was, well, del toro. Serious, but excellent humor, effects, fighting, acting you name it. This one, it seems they wanted to crank it up to 11 and go nuts. I can enjoy that from time to time. 

The acting, like everything else was kinda campy, over the top and so on. They didn’t want to be too serious. 

Now that i think about it, it also reminds me of the animated hellboy films from years ago. 

The practical effects when they were used were good. A few stinks here and there. The CGI,oh lord. very very few good shots. this was one of the last stops for the money flow. 

On that note, think that is one of this films biggest faults, their budget. you can tell this was a much lower budget then the others. Maybe if they would have had more they might have done better. 

Hope this review helps you make a choice on the film. Not near as good as the first two but still a fun one to watch here and there. 

PS. I enjoy Milla Jovovich no matter what. :-) 

I know nothing about the Hellboy mythos. Somehow I missed the original Guillermo del Toro film from 2004 and its sequel, The Golden Army. Since we live in a world where any property from 15 years ago is considered ancient history, director Neil Marshall brings us the reboot starring David Harbour as the titular demon working for the good guys who’s trying to stop the forces of evil from taking over. Pretty typical stuff, but surely if they’re rebooting the series that means they have a new take, a new direction for a character who is born of darkness and blood but has been raised to fight for the forces of good, right? Well...

It was certainly not as bad as critics are saying however it was still not good. I think the biggest issue with this movie was the editing and the fact that it felt like they were trying to cram many different stories. I also think it was a weird choice to have gone with "The wild hunt" and bits of "The storm and fury" as the first stories for this reboot. That would be like starting a new Batman reboot with "R.I.P." or "Knightfall". Its just something that should be saved for later films.

David Harbor seems a bit uncomfortable as Hellboy with the makeup on. It just seems off, whereas Perlman looked and embraced the aesthetic of the character. There was one funny scene that I liked. Another thing that felt weird was the way the movie was shot. The camera angles/lenses made the movie look like a movie you'd see as an exclusive on Syfy. Also while I like the usage of metal I felt it was awkward in some places.
