What you'd expect from a Hellboy movie written by the creator of the character and its world, A really good Hellboy movie, a cool and funny Hellboy, great action and mayhem, and a hero trying to understand his place in this human world.
Its pacey and fun, equally as good as the Del Toro Hellboy movies. Maybe slightly better for some especially considering the screenplay was by the Hellboy creator himself!
I would highly recommend this if you like your superhero movies pacey, fun, interesting and R-rated. Can be blood-gory in a few places just so you know.
This is a good mix of the Del Toro Hellboy's, Silent Hill and Resident Evl movies.
For a lower budget than the previous Hellboys there's a lot of action and impressive CGI and practical effects in it. They really squeezed every ounce of that budget for our viewing pleasure.
The soundtrack and song choices are really cool and work perfectly with the scenes and action sequences.
I've read a couple of critics reviews saying that think there's too much exposition, that's totally not true, there are a few to give you a brief backstory to some characters, which works well and at brief amount of time, 1-2 minutes each, so for a 2 hour movie does that seem like a LOT of exposition to you??! It's not noticeable in the whole scheme of things but very welcomed and a nice touch. The introduction to Hellboy is the longest of the few, obviously, which is about 2-3 minutes long, and its really cool as it adds a new ass-kicking character that the Del Toro version didn't have, who is badass and from the Hellboy Universe not previously seen before in the movies.
This is a great addition to the Hellboy movies and will definitely become a cult classic. I just wish it did well at the boxoffice so we could get a sequel. But unfortunately critics have a lot to answer for with this innocent film..maybe they just really want you to go and watch Shazam lol...for some reason!!!?? Critics have ruined another films boxoffice potential!
This is better than Captain Marvel and the child audience focused film Shazam.
And David Harbour is excellent as Hellboy, equal to Ron Pearlman's.
