Review of Hellboy (2019) by Blasster — 11 Apr 2019

Hellboy starts pretty well in the first half, good introduction of the villain, then hellboy and the BPRD, starting with good action and fighting scenes, but as the plot develops the movie begins to decline a lot, even the visual effects are not so different from its predecessor of more than 10 years ago. Although the addition of interesting new characters that we did not see before the completely different approach to hellboy's paternal character lacks charisma and there seems to be no chemistry between hellboy and him.There's a lot of gore scenes that looks very cool but all of them feels very rushed without giving it the time to build up.

The interpretation of David Harbor is very convincing, even his makeup and prosthetics do not look bad at all, he did a very good job, probably the script and the direction in this new take are the problem. In the end it only becomes entertaining and fun moments, but without a doubt the vision of Guillermo del Toro was much more accurate to the characters and folklore that the comics transmitted.
