Gonna say it again for the last time. Halfway, I felt walking out.
Don't waste your time and money in this movie. I warned you

Hellboy (2019) review thread RT: No Score yet
- Thread starter Star-Lord
- Start date
This reads like a petty hit piece article aimed at the opening weekend
Nothing in this sounds bad besides firing the cinematographer. The Kirk stuff is much worse let's just stick with that
That sucks, but thanks for this. I am driving 1h to go the movies on Friday, and was planning on seeing this and Shazam.
Looks like it won't be a double feature after all!
Still gonna watch it this weekend and enjoy it for the dumb, gory action.
Most reviewers hated Venom and The Predator (to name a few films with bad reviews) yet I still enjoyed them, despite having some big flaws.

I don't understand the movie business. The Ron Perlman movies are great and fans love them. They're almost genre classics. Perlman made the character come to life, Blair was phenomenal and the cast had chemistry.
That wasn't even that long ago. Why make this? Who thought this would go well? The idea should have been laughed at.

He did make The Shape of Water and get the Oscars he's long deserved though. Honestly, the less franchisey del Toro gets the more he can flex his creative muscles.
The fans did mostly love them, the problem was there wasn't enough fans, as they didn't really make much money at the box office sadly, a reason why the 3rd movie didn't happen.
OP may not have to update the title, cause I don't think "no score" will be very far off from the aggregate.
I blame it moreso on them being overshadowed by much bigger tent poles.
The first one came out in the same summer as Spider-Man 2, while Golden Army came out the same summer as Dark Knight.
Yeah I'll use my amc a list on it. No skin off my back.
So I've got a few questions relating to comic stuff for anyone who's watched it:
- Do they go into gruagach's backstory at all?
- Is queen mab in this?
- Does Morgan la Faye show up?
- Does Nimue get transformed into a monstrous looking dragon at the end?
- Does Hellboy give one of his eyes to the Baba Yaga?
- Does Edward Grey show up? (I can't imagine he does)
- Does Hellboy get the Iron Raven sword or does he just use Excalibur to kill Nimue?
This isn't a 50% movie that is divisive. Its sounds like just about everyone thinks its not only a bad movie but think its actively terrible.
It got an R18+ in Australia which is relatively rare. Deadpool and Logan were only MA15+ for comparison.
Man, that first trailer did not evoke high hopes but this is a bummer.
And I did not love Del Toro's take either, especially the second film.
Wow

Couldn't give him a third one to finish off the trilogy.
Tbf, Golden Army wasn't profitable and GDT wanted a much higher budget for the third
There's a huge difference between a film that's "good/fun bad" and "offensively bad".
The two films you mention fall into the former category. This seems to fall into the latter category.
Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen, for example, was horrendously offensive. It was THAT bad. Judging from the trailer, this is no different.
The OP caused this movie to Trinkle Out.
Your post reminds me that a Cuchullain or Slaine Movie (the former is free to license) would be amazing if Guillermo leaned into it mad hard.
Also, call it "Cullan's Hound" so everyone can eventually pronounce it.

Mid level drones can't pronounce her name so she gets put on the Jurgen Prochnow shelf. "Yeah, that's the best person but I think her name is "Milo Jabrovia" can someone IMDB it?
My cousin saw a cut 4 months ago, she said the release version is the same cut! She doesn't understand why they didn't change anything and she's glad she didn't spend money on this train wreck.
What a shitty reboot when the franchise didn't need one.

Feel like this is overstating things a bit :lol But even still the last one underperformed and the studio wouldn't give del Toro the budget he wanted for a third.
It's stunning anyone could be delusional enough to see what is currently 45 reviews, 5 of which are considered positive (one of which is a 4/10) and think this is anywhere near a "some love it some hate it". Everyone hates it, one out of 10 thinks it just might not be the worst film they see in the year
Not gonna lie, out of all the movies coming out in a 1-2 month radius, this did look the worst out of all of them. From the first trailer I wasn't in for this but I never wanted this to be THIS bad. This fucking sucks man, I did like the old Hellboys too.
Hopefully Godzilla & Detective Pikachu don't disappoint. I know Endgame won't and Spider-Man: FFH is gonna probably be great too.

damn...this is not sparking joy
really didn't think my boy would get another go at it, looks like this could again be it for a while? to be honest, i'd be cool with just a few more animated ones (ideally with perlman still voicing)
shintokis! how you been
also the franchise itself is great! this might not be though

Sounds like it has Blade Trinity syndrome. Blade 2 and Hellboy 1 and 2 work (and in my opinion, work very well) because yeah, they're dumb comic action flicks, but they're directed by a maestro. If you take away the maestro you're just left with...dumb comic action flicks. Which is okay, if they're at least fun, but it looks like this film is anything but
Fucking ooph. Not that the trailer inspired much confidence but those reviews paint the movie as a atrocious mess, and not even a funny one at that.
So far I have skipped Shazam, Pet Sematary and will probably skip this. Maybe I will see Shazam after all. April is turning out a bust. Endgame really better deliver.
