Review of Hellboy (2019) by Dubeau — 13 Jul 2019
The problem with this movie is that it doesn't live up to the film it reboots. Not in terms of story or quality. The story is recycling the origin story with some variants. The actors are fine in the movie, and surely a good aspect of the movie.
Harbour doesn't have the same charisma and it's partially because his lines feel generic and with less humor. The action is very unequal, and tends more toward horror style than fantasy. Which I think is a mistake.
The FX aren't on the top level here. Some composite effects are too apparent. The CGI of the creatures isn't always great. In that area, the movie is a complete failure to the previous movies. The music is fine.
The audio is more than decent. I give it 48%. They should have continued with an original third film (even with the actors changing).
