Hellboy

Don’t listen to the snowflakes, this movie is great :)

Now this is hellboy ! Way more comic nook accurate.

O.K, that was kinda fun with dinner.
So over the top that I giggled quite a bit. Guess it's for you if you're into that kind of jam. sort of "Machete Kill" but with monsters (wait, wasn't this "From dusk till Dawn"?!)
Nice comic-action-horror for a quiet* Monday eve.

*actually the soundtrack was awesome, made it a whole lot freakier

Despite the less than stellar ratings this movie has received I have to say that I quite liked it actually. It is a much more violent, gory and adult movie than the previous Hellboy movies and this is probably contributing a lot to my appreciation of it. I so dislike when they dumb down a story or character just because the bean counters think they can get more kids to watch it and thus make more money. Or worse, because they want to cater to the easily offended whiners.

This movie starts off already in the first scene where the language make it clear the easily offended should have stayed home. It continues in the same manner. It is indeed a quite violent movie with a lot of gory effects. At least for a movie based on a “regular” US comics book character. When the big demons are released towards the end of the movie and the human casualties mount the movie becomes quite inventive in the various gory ways a human can be killed.

Then we have the scene with the “birth” of Hellboy which is, luckily, fairly true to the original story and shows not only Nazis but doesn’t resort to any SJW dumbassery and tries to obfuscate parts of the Nazi uniforms. Instead the swastika is displayed as it should be. That should be enough to get most SJW whiners to shit themselves. Needless to say there is not much politically correct preaching in the movie either which is a relief.

The story is fairly okay. Nothing really to write home about but not really bad either. The action is, obviously, quite good. Hellboy himself is played fairly well by David Harbour and Ian McShane is not bad at all as Professor Broom. Milla Jovovich never really shined as The Blood Queen though.

There are a few things that where not stellar as well though. That warthog looking changeling which played a central part of the movie was often just ridiculous and the outburst by Hellboy and rant about why humans and demons could live in piece or something was completely unnecessary. Also, I felt that Hellboy was on the receiving end of the clobbering a bit too much. It was really not until the six-month-after scenes at the very end that he really displayed the self confident ass-kicking character that I would like to see him as.

Anyway, I quite liked the movie and it’s a shame that it didn’t get better ratings. That Rotten SJW tomatoes gave it shit ratings was expected of course although even with their new censored user rating system they didn’t manage to get their “audience” to get in line with their “critics”. 17% critics rating while over 50% of the audience gave it a rating of six or more. Big fail again RT.

The after scenes made it quite clear that they hoped for a sequel but with the poor performance I do not think that will happen. A shame if you ask me.

Yes this movie is lacking del Toro's artistic style, but if you liked the comic you will like this one too. Do not listen to normies, this is not a movie for them, they should just keep watching mcu or dceu...

Realy Good i hope is coming one more

Def better 2nd time 'round
- I know who David Harbour is, and like his acting,
- I've read some comic books since the first time... and, if it's comic-true I don't think it can be bad.

I don't see it as a re-boot, I see it as a movie made from a comic book story.

Selma Blair was such a large part of the first one for me, and she's put me right off
(and, it should never have been about a love story).

_8 - Great_

What an amazing reboot!

was okay not bad I feel they could have done a better job.
