But...it can't be worse than Jonah Hex. Right? Right?? Definitely no Iron Man 3. Unless a kid shows up for no reason, gets loads of attention from Hellboy unexplained and without real purpose, and then it turns out the main villain was a buffoon plot twist zinger. So not that bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

THAT is the one people are comparing it to more than any other. And with it coming out there were creative crew conflicts going on leading to story tampering...

RedRaven Posted April 11, 2019 Share Posted April 11, 2019 Watched the trailer the other night and it seemed way too dark for my tastes. Doubt this will even get an Amazon viewing from me. Im completely happy with the Ron Perlman versions. theCapraAegagrus and ComicConnoisseur 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That always bothered me. As for the current movie, I am completely surprised by the reviews I'm seeing. The trailer looks fantastic. But the critics are absolutely destroying it.

It sounds like the movie is just a mess of gratuitous violence, excessive language, and krappy-CGI action. Which doesn't surprise me. What about the trailers did you like?

The really awesome thing here which is easy to overlook, is that the development of comic-book properties as cinema has reached the point that we get to choose between multiple versions of Hellboy. Far cry from my youth where my choices were Superman and that was about it. Bosco685 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D84 Posted April 11, 2019 Share Posted April 11, 2019 When I saw the trailers, it looked like a SyFy original. Too bad it seems the story is a mess. I can deal with bad effects, but an incoherent story is where I draw the line. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, to be fair, I'm not sure if a movie exists that everyone likes/dislikes. I thought the trailers didn't give off a good Hellboy 'vibe'. Just didn't look right to me.

That always bothered me. I actually took it as Ron Perlman immersing himself in the role, and Del Toro trying to make him come across more human than monster from Hell. Plus, with his emotions and responses to situations, it added to the results. An example: See how they blended in strong human-like features with his monster-like color and characteristics. Even with the rubber suit, they gave it pores for more realism. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
