Review of Hellboy (2019) by Thehammer890 — 06 Jul 2019

I am starting off by saying, I do like the movie, the originals, and the comics. The new Hellboy is not the best movie, but I thought it was a good one. At points it was good and at some points it was mildly irritating, and that goes the same as the original it was good and at points it was mildly irritating, but I still like them both.

I like both versions of the character, but I like harbour's a bit more because of how grittier and darker it was compared to the original. To me the new Hellboy was a great add-on to the whole Hellboy franchise, even if it had some flaws.

The flaws are noticeable, like the soundtrack is a little bit loopy and repeating, some CGI is out there, some character depth is a little shallow (like Nimue), and some of the jokes are little stale.

But it is still a good movie at points, like baba yaga's character design and parts in the movie, the demons at the end killing people, the idea of him being a descendant of king Arthur, him wielding Excalibur, his horns are a bit cooler because of the more ruff edges and more gritty look to them instead of flat and shiny like the original, the scenes where dead people talk through the help of Alice, and I personally liked the giant fight scene.

Even though it didnt have the help of del Toro and the original cast, it was still good. I don't compare the two, they are totally seperate even though they have the hellboy name. So if you absolutly love the original hellboy and wont open your mind to a different one then don't watch it, but if you're willing to not compare the two and just watch it for how it is then go ahead.
