Review of Hellboy (2019) by Philipblake — 18 Apr 2019
Not particularly fan of the first established franchise, I've came open-minded to this new version and well... I've first seen it on original English language and was thinking this is the perfect example of what is an unnecessary reboot! Only that at least David Harbour is a pretty good Hellboy as Ron Perlman was and the gore effects was really enjoyable.
Then I've finally seen it again dubbed in Canadian French, and this time I found it very funny! I must admit that's barely not the same movie than the original version. The voice acting are just awesome, particularly about Hellboy himself, the very gross and vulgar display of dialogues are just funny as hell.
That's the first time I have a feeling like this after watching the Canadian French version instead of the original since Bad Santa. Of course the CGI are still very cheap, Jovovich's acting was still damn awful even in an other language and the final result does not looks like a film directed by Neil Marshall regarding The Descent or Doomsday.
