Review of Hellboy (2019) by Firefae8 — 13 Apr 2019

This movie is getting rung through the wringer cause there's a lot of people jumping on the 'let's trash this' band wagon. This movie is NOT the del Toro version. It's not the Hellboy 3 most people wanted and are probably going to be angry that it's not.

It's more true to the comics and has lots of nods to the comics and what happens in them. There is some issue with the pacing and it would probably make a better mini series, given that there is SO much content they go through, but it is a movie and they have to work with a time constraint as well as a low budget, which I think they took full advantage of.

This Hellboy, as I said, is more true to the comics. It isn't perfect, but because so many people are just ripping on it for not being del Toro's Hellboy, I'm giving it a 10. It's more like an 8 or 7.

It's very enjoyable and definitely rated 9. The graphic novel content is not watered down to be palatable for children, so don't take your kids. It's very metal and full of action. The creatures are amazingly designed and it's very true to the comics.
