Review of Hellboy (2019) by Unnaturalfear — 22 Oct 2019
Just finished watching and I don't get all the hate. It's a fun enough movie, makes nods to the original pair in the right places to show it followed the comics enough for a casual fan like me as well.
It also has better characters frankly, the pathetic agent and Hellboy fighting over the awful emo pyromancer and a bunch of comic relief crap piled on top. Abe and the Professor were good at least to support Pearlman.
I really enjoyed the original film, the sequel was alright enough but more of a love letter to del Toro s ability to create monsters than it was a story in my opinion, and will still happily watch them every few years.
That said I would like to see a continuation of this version as I liked where the teasers suggested it was going, though I would concede that the villain it suggests doesn't need a rehash.
